    We were looking to get our sons 7 and 5 at the time into martial arts. Looked around the immediate area and T4L stood out. From the moment we walked in to where we are now 6 months later, we have felt a genuine family vibe. The staff is friendly and professional. Although there is a family vibe it is important to understand and respect the business aspect of it too. Be sure you are ready to commit and honor contracts that you sign. During our time here my son was injured during training. The staff continuously checked on him during the time he was out. They also froze the account so that we did not have to pay during his recovery time. That is an honorable and professional business practice. My son is currently in jits and the instructor does a phenomenal job balancing discipline with fun. I will keep bringing my kids here and as soon as my baby is old enough he will be in too.

    Love this place but we are in a fairly insane health crisis people! They need to do a better job of cleaning and air circulation. There's like 50 kids and 25 parents all at the same time and not a single fan on! C'mon! ‍

    They say, "Who you surround yourself with, you become. What you think about yourself, you are. Who you speak to, reflects." I couldn't agree more. My 4 children, now ages 24, 23, 21, and 15, have been a part of Wahiawa Kajukenbo since 2007. Although the three older kids didn't go as far into their martial arts journey as we would have liked, the 15 year old is a true reflection of the Ramos Family foundation - from Grandmaster Tony Ramos, Sifu Sonny Ramos, Aunty Ady, and Sibak Richard to Wahiawa Kajukenbo Foundation and Train 4 Life. My son was and still is pretty anxious during stressful situations, such as test performance or during high level competition. GM Tony taught my child at an early age how to clear his mind and breathe while harnessing his knowledge and skill set to catapult him forward. Sifu Sonny continues his father's teaching with not just my son during competitions, but with every student (adult and child) that steps on to the dojo mats. My son's confidence in his skill set did not come easy though. Tough love is what the Ramos Family gives. My son was not given a participation medal or ranking, it was earned through hard work, lots of tears, and moments of doubt. It's something that has shaped who my son is as a young man. Although martial arts can be seen as tough, Wahiawa Kajukenbo/T4L has a soft and kind side to them. They are firm on setting boundaries and expectations with every student, along with all instructors and staff members, but everyone needs boundaries and expectations - it's what keeps students safe and successful. But, there is a strong feeling of "Ohana" (family) within the dojo doors. Everyone becomes family: students, instructors, and parents of students. You grow together, you have disagreements, and you evolve together. And it's not just the people within that dojo that matter, it's the community that surrounds them. It's that sense of community that I believe Ahgung wanted for his family to carry on, and I believe GM Tony, Sifu Sonny and Aunty Ady do it best. For more than 10 years, WKF has serviced the community by way of their anti bully program and free women's self defense. It's this very principal that encouraged my 15 year old at the age of 9 to raise money for underprivileged children, particularly foster children, so they may learn martial arts or wrestling without being told they couldn't because of financial situations. What I love most is seeing how my 15 year old will take the time to help improve technique (whether it's kajukenbo, kickboxing, jiu jitsu, judo or even wrestling) with younger kids without being asked, becoming their big brother and help build their confidence up, just like how GM Tony, Sifu Sonny, Aunty Ady and Sibak Richard have. We've seen people come and go over the span of 12 years, including instructors; but, one thing that hasn't changed is the foundation and principles set forth by Ahgung and passed down through each generation. We're proud to have our family's roots at Wahiawa Kajukenbo/Train 4 Life. That will always be home.

    When we moved from Vallejo to Suisun, we were looking for a new dojo for my youngest kid. She was in 3rd grade at the time. She wanted to keep training but we couldn't drive her back & forth to Vallejo for a dojo that didn't really seem to truly care if the kids were learning well or not. It always felt like the way Sifu, looked at us as if we had Dollars signs on our foreheads. Every quarter, there was an increase to their fees. Although my kid was having fun there, but that's all it was for her, fun. There was no structure. Fast forward to when my kid started training with Professor and Uncle Sonny, the experience for us parents was different. The camaraderie between the kids training and the parents watching in the background was so comfortable. You can feel that family vibe. My kid has now been training with T4L for almost 7 years now. Sure, she's gotten yelled at or had to do extra pushups for making a mistake or something, but that's part of learning. If they, (Sonny, Professor and the other "Uncle's), didn't care about these kids, they wouldn't push them to work harder and try harder. I've seen my daughter to grow to be more confident, more disciplined, more empowered and be more aware of what can happen in real life. Some days, after a hard day at school, she said that going to train always makes her day better. Go figure! Oh, before I forget, I myself even took a Women's Self Defense class there. It was led by Ady and the insight that she gave from a woman's point of view, was an eye opener. I keep telling my friends and family to take her class and I'll gladly go again and take it with them. If you're unsure if you should take your kid to train there, just go and watch them for a session. We did!

    New Year, Healthier child.

I loved that Denise, AJ, and Cheryl really kick your butt to house/Vegas/EDM style music. I also love the boxing class. The place itself does not look fancy but it is what it is = a kick ass place to get your cardio in along with fighting classes for all ages. I think its great they also hold occasional challenges (most fat loss/most weight loss) and have prizes such as free membership for a period of time, etc. I find it very hard to believe that this gym or any other would charge you for 4 months after the fact-- I canceled mine when I moved and did not experience such an issue. I did however buy the 10-pass class for when I do visit my family on the weekends and can get a cardio workout in. I say try it for yourself. There are all kinds/sorts of people here: thick, thin, young, older, beginners, novice, expert. You'll fit in no matter what shape you are in.

    Excellent place to train. The absolute best…read more This school has decades of experience teaching effective, proven self defense for use on the street. From day one, the emphasis is on teaching "Real" movements using a "hands on" approach. Lots of hitting pads and doing things on the teacher to make sure you understand how it works. For the sport fighting (MMA) enthusiast, they teach "Shootfighting", a combination of Muay Thai Kickboxing, Jujitsu, Russian Sambo, and Catch wrestling. Not just 'Stand Up' and 'Ground' in separate classes, the "Shootfighting" integrates the two creating a much more well rounded fighter. The instructors are professional, courteous, and knowledgeable. THERE ARE NO "KID" TEACHERS. All of the instructors are adults, and the adults and kids are taught separately in the group classes. If you are looking to train as a family or for training for you son/daughter, you will not find a better place. Instead of focusing on 'point fighting' and playing a 'game'. Kids build up their self esteem and confidence while learning real physical skills that will need if they are attacked. There is nothing worse than if a kid thinks he can defend his or herself only to get beat up (OR WORSE), because what they learned doesn't really work. I do know that there are quite a few CHP officers, Police, SWAT, as well as Correctional Officers from CMF training here as well as some of the other locations (and they are some of the coolest people to train with) If it is good enough for them an their families, it is good enough for mine.

Geoff the owner is very involved, and always has the eye for improvement amongst the gym. First things first is that Pro Faction has all the tools for Muay Thai. They have a canvas ring! Most gyms don't even have the space for it. Next is the endless amount of Muay Thai equipment that is provided. If you watch your favorite Thai fighter train on Instagram or YouTube, every type of pad that they have, Pro Faction has. Beyond the ring, they have many mats, a secluded area specifically for different types of punching bags, and an area for weight training. Everything that I could physically need to improve myself is right there for me when I step foot in the gym. The number one thing that I look for in the gym, is cleanliness. This is a must. All of the pads are hung up, with nothing touching the floor. All the gloves and equipment have its own rack, and are sterilized after each use. Even the mirrors are spotless. Trust me, I check! Next is the training staff. Geoff teaches the first Muay Thai class and makes sure that your basics are down. Like anything in life, you can never be "too good" for basics. The beginners in the class are no different that the fighters. Everyone works on the same thing and gets better together. Next is Alec. This young lad is full of knowledge and information. He can take your game to go from good, to great. If there's one thing that I appreciate, it's how involved these two are. When I'm not in the gym, they give me text messages about what needs to be worked on outside of the gym to optimize my training time. Overall this is a great place to train for all skill levels of any age. Pro Faction also teaches Jiu Jitsu if Muay Thai is not your cup of tea. If you have an itch to train, this is definitely the place to go. Come in and make a positive change in your life!
