Highly recommend this place for any age, now to enroll the daughter and wife!

Review for Legacy Martial Arts / Kung Fu San Soo - Redding, CA…read more I'm not writing this out of spite or bitterness. I'm writing it because as a prospective student--and as a man--I believe in being honest, standing by my experience, and holding people accountable for basic professionalism and courtesy. I initially reached out to Legacy Martial Arts / Kung Fu San Soo in Redding because I was genuinely interested in what they had to offer. I made several attempts to contact the instructor, both through phone calls (voicemails left) and via the website's contact form. I even showed up in person once and found him teaching a private lesson, which I completely understood. But despite multiple efforts over an extended period, I received no reply whatsoever. Eventually, I left a message through the website expressing my disappointment, and I posted an honest review outlining my experience. Almost immediately after that, I received a phone call--his first response--offering an apology and citing a "family emergency" as the reason for the lack of communication. While I do sympathize with personal crises (we all face them), the timeline of my attempts to reach out didn't quite match up with that excuse. Emergencies don't last for weeks without a single moment to return a message--or have someone else do so on your behalf. It didn't add up. Even then, the apology was lukewarm at best. What I got was, "One of my students saw your review, which is unfortunate." In other words: he wasn't concerned that I felt disrespected--he was concerned that his student saw a negative review. It felt more like damage control than a sincere apology. Despite that, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I took the review down and told him I wouldn't pursue this further. I figured, maybe we just weren't a good fit. But again--no reply. No follow-up. No closure. Just silence. Later, I reached out one last time to express how I felt--not to stir the pot, but to give him one more opportunity to show some human decency, to say, "Hey, I messed up. I'd like to make it right." But once again--silence. At some point, silence becomes a statement in itself. Whether it's passive disregard or some misguided idea of dignity, it's a bad look either way. A simple acknowledgment, even just a "wish you the best," would've gone a long way. But that didn't happen. So yes, I'm reposting this review. Not out of anger, but because I stand by my conviction: when someone repeatedly ghosts you, gives vague excuses, and only responds when their reputation is at risk--it speaks volumes about their character and their business. To anyone considering training here, just know this was my experience. Maybe yours will be different--but this is mine. And I have every right to share it.

My son has been training on and off under Ahjan Josh since he was four. He's been here more…read moreconsistently now (at age ten) and has grown in his skills since - not just fighting skills, but those of self-discipline, respect, and care for others. He's been allowed to help the younger children and been given responsibility as seen fit. He enjoys coming to class very much. Coach is the kind to push someone past their ability because he sees potential, but not past the point where kids would lose confidence in themselves. It's a fine balance and I appreciate having someone coaching my son who understands and acknowledges this. Also, it's funny because a lot of parents fear that putting their kids in to a fighting class will promote violence but it has done the opposite. My son hasn't gotten in trouble for fighting or any other physical altercations in the past six years. We'll continue coming here!

The actual studios are beautiful and they supply you with everything you'd need - mats, towels, blocks, blankets, etc. There are 2 bathrooms and a water filling station. They also have a cute boutique with yoga clothes and accessories. I always look forward to my classes here.

The teacher was a dancer that taught out of a wheel chair. Elsa immediately loved ballet. Her life became dance. Her mother was a brilliant musician and passed her craft onto her daughter. Everything they endeavored, they spent countless hours and extreme dedication to reach perfection. Elsa also loves people. She went out in weaverville ca and rounded up interested students and started her school using gymnasiums and open buildings to bring students together. She taught ballet and became a popular feature in weaverville. She brought her industrious nature and family of six to Redding to open her first school. She was always training and attending master classes all over the state to bring the best to her students. I was one of her students and her daughters good friend. She impressed me from a young age at her ability to teach well and to pass the gift to her children. Her children are some of the most industrious folk I know. The love of dance and teaching dance in her family was evident and they all learned tap and jazz and could choreograph big groups and small groups and solos. The passion coming from the family drove them to be "the place to go."I took my babies to mommy and me classes and from there, they grew up in that studio. My youngest daughter won countless competitions and at 38 years old has a lucrative business in dance and choreography. She's worked for big named people and is well known in the business. She's passed along her dance education to many others that are very successful. She has to attribute success to Yvonne, Elsa and the many quality people they vetted and hired to teach in their studio. Stop by or phone to meet Yvonna, you will not meet a harder working, unbiased owner. She has your children's future in her heart. She desires success for all of her students. There is no political BS in her studio, she helps all to reach their goals!

This is a quality studio with quality instructors that fit every different exercise style. The studio manager Olivia is extremely helpful and great at what she does. The reception staff is friendly and welcoming. There is a shared common area with benches, lockers, and cubbies. The women's bathroom is small but has a shower and is clean and comfortable. There's an array of toiletries available like shampoo, lotion, etc. The music is loud as expected with a spin class. I have noticed in the recent months that the music is getting much louder (probably as the instructor's ears adapt to the sound) and drowns out the instructor's audio. This is where the earplugs they offer come in handy. The price for classes are a little steep but they often do deals and sales around the holidays. You have to make an online account to register for a class at True Ride. Arrive a little early if you want to utilize the lockers.
