I've been attending InNae for about 8 months now. I have prior history with a different traditional…read morestyle of martial arts and was looking for another school that taught the traditional methods. I was very glad to find that InNae does just that! Grandmaster Urbanik is respectful, kind, and motivating. She draws out your best and finds innovative ways to teach a very traditional style of martial art. She explains the reasons behind the moves and teaches practical self-defense strategies you could use in daily life, and focuses not only on form and technique, but also on building up character and confidence as well. I definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to get into martial arts!

I've tried a few different places, and this is by far the one I like best. My son has been…read moreattending for three years, and we've had a really positive experience. The classes are small, the facility is very clean, and I really appreciate that the classes aren't taught by students. Master Urbanik is patient, attentive, and has even helped calm my son down during a few meltdowns. My son has some neurodivergent tendencies, and this class has helped him overcome many of his fears, improve his ability to listen and follow instructions, his patience, and build confidence.  He's become much more confident speaking and performing in front of crowds. One thing to be aware of is that masks are required, which is fine especially during cold and flu season, since it helps keep germs under control. Overall, we've had a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend this place to families looking for a clean, supportive, and positive environment for their children.

The people at Alere, coaches and fellow trainees alike, are all very kind and supportive and willing to offer feedback to help you improve your movements (which, as a new white belt, is extremely necessary). I've been training at Alere for about two and a half months and have lost like 15 lbs and gotten much stronger. Come here and join an awesome community.

Jitsu Has Truly Transformed My Daughter's Confidence…read more Choosing Jitsu for my daughter was intentional. I wanted her to learn how to protect herself -- and if needed, to protect her little sister and her friends. I wanted her to grow up knowing she was strong, aware, and capable. What I didn't realize was how much more this journey would give her. When she first joined, she was shy and uncertain, but everything changed once she stepped onto the mat and into a community that believed in her. Having her best friend there made the experience even more special. They pushed each other, laughed through tough drills, and grew side by side in ways only true teammates can. Now it's been two years and counting, and she's still not sick of it -- not even close. If anything, she loves it more than when she started. That alone tells you they're doing something completely right. One of the biggest takeaways she's held onto is: "Never cry on the mat." And she takes it very literally -- but honestly, it's not a bad thing. For her, it means fight harder, stay focused, and don't give up. We get it... but let's be real, moms are absolutely allowed to cry on the sidelines. As a mom, it still scares me watching her train and compete -- that feeling never truly goes away. But her confidence has grown so strong that she's now the one asking me to sign her up for competitions. Seeing her walk onto the mat with purpose and pride is something I never imagined two years ago. I have to give so much credit to Jorge, Coach Chris, and Coach Brandon. They prepare her for every competition with patience, discipline, and unwavering belief in her. They've helped shape her into a girl who isn't afraid to push herself, challenge herself, and trust her own strength. Because of them, my heart is at ease a little more each time she competes. Jitsu didn't just teach her self-defense -- it opened a whole new world inside her. One filled with courage, growth, friendship, and confidence. Watching her transform has been one of the greatest gifts, and for that, I am endlessly grateful.

The mental focus and concentration needed for taekwondo has not only helped my daughter's academic performance but has also sharpened her social and mentoring skills.

Recently signed up for Team Brewer Karate to kick-start a regular fitness routine and minimize work…read morestress. After doing MixxedFit for about 2 years I decided to try something different as I was puttering out due to the location and late time. TBK offers high intensity work outs from krav fit boot camp, kickboxing, karate (for kids and adults) with a schedule of classes in the mornings, evenings and Saturdays...hard to make excuses there. Owner/Instructor Anthony Brewer who is a Certified Trainer, holds 5 black belts, is a World Karate and 3x National Jujitsu Champion (Dayyyyumm! and the list goes on) teaches the class along with Jalen, longtime-student/instructor...can you say intimidating?! Definitely not, but motivating! Anthony and Jalen both guide you through the workouts at each station (bike, rowing machine, kettle bell, ropes, dumb bells, medicine ball, etc while showing you the proper technique to maximize the workout and make it fun (with music!). This is definitely a no pressure, work-at-your own pace class but at the same time both are there to encourage students to push through. So far, its been my 2nd week and though challenging has been great...I'll admit the first few classes kicked my 'arse' (good thing) and also felt light-headed afterwards but Anthony educated me on what I need to change and provided a booklet (first day) on nutrition, journaling, food list/meals, etc. Something, I need to read and follow but trying to focus on getting in a routine first...yes the struggle is real! :P I really like that staff and students are very welcoming and helpful to newbies like myself! So if you want a place with no 'hipster-tude', not be judged because you're not wearing Lululemon, and don't 'need-to-be-fit' to get fit (clean) environment, check out Team Brewer Karate in Downtown Hayward. Plenty of FREE street parking and a municipal lot next door.
