My daughter Earned her Orange Belt!
Carolina C.

It's an Honor for both of my children to be training at Dragons Den MMA. It truly helps , keeps my kids focused, and motivated to protect themselves. It's fun and my kids love it! It's nice to see how the instructors are so passionate and involved with all the children. Not just at the Den, but to their School and Education. Investing themselves so much about Kajukenbo. The teachings to their students making sure they work hard. To learn every move and form of Martial Arts.. It feels like we're part of an awesome family supporting community of people. I Highly recommend Dragons Den MMA to everyone in Union City, Ca. OHANA!

I've been coming here for 3 weeks now and the Dragons Den is the place you need to be if your looking . I know that's not the long but honestly the trainers, trainees and the staff are all really great people. I literally walked in off the street about a month ago and I receive signals from everyone like I'm a relative. The atmosphere and culture here is very warm, comfortable and can be very competitive if you want to bring that energy through the doors. As far as the curriculum for training, I don't think you'll find a better place in my opinion. I'm a very analytical person and I scouted boxing gyms, private training programs and other MMA academy's. Factoring in price, training methods, time/availability and location you can't beat the Dragons Den. (It is right off the freeway too) I have two cousins and some friends that train at places like "The kennel" and other MMA schools like "KOA" and two or three different places in Hayward. They are good, don't get me wrong but it appears that the training they provide at the Dragons Den is a bit more intimate. I feel challenged and engaged by the trainers and the whole team. If I make a mistake or I need to adjust my technique they are all very supportive and direct, I feel I respond well to that style of coaching, personally. You definitely won't feel abandoned and that is the impression I receive from other places. Not saying that's how it is at other places, it's just the impression I get from other places I've been when comparing my great experiences at the Dragons Den to the rest. I have a long way to go as far as training but I know a good place when I see it. Hope this helps.

Been going for CrossFit for almost 1.5 years and love it here. Coaches are knowledgeable,…read moresupportive and passionate about helping you improve. Community is humble, passionate and about the right size (not too big feeling crowded or not too small). I have gradually improved in all dimensions - strength, cardio, flexibility, technique and mindset/mentality. 5 stars! Highly recommend. You have various options (CrossFit, bootcamp, powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting etc) to chose from depending on interest and where you are at in your fitness journey.

I've been going to CrossFit One World for about 14 months now, and it's been a great experience. I…read morefirst joined the Boot Camp program, and coaches JP and Moe really made a difference for me. I had no background in CrossFit or weightlifting and felt completely new to it all, but they explained the basics clearly, kept things motivating, and often stepped in to correct form so we built the right foundation. That gave me confidence and made the classes something I looked forward to instead of dreaded. Over time, I enjoyed Boot Camp so much that I moved into CrossFit. I'm still a beginner in CrossFit and probably will be for a while but my weight loss has accelerated since making the switch, and I've started feeling stronger, healthier, and more positive overall. So far, I've had classes with seven different coaches plus Brad, the owner, and every one of them has been dedicated, approachable, and engaged. Each coach has their own style, which makes it fun you pick up something new in every session. Brad himself is humble and very committed to building the kind of community that makes people want to keep coming back. The best part of this gym is the great community of coaches n people. It's full of people who push themselves, encourage each other, and make the hard work enjoyable. If you're looking for a place that challenges you but also supports you, CrossFit One World is it. Joining here has been one of the best decisions for my health and well-being.

I was hesitant to start my own personal training based on the cost and because I felt like I didn't need it, but it's totally worth it! I feel mentally and physically stronger! I look forward to coming, but then dread it for the hour just because some are the workouts are so hard/tiring. It pays off in the end though! She's so supportive, a great listener, super energetic, and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend her

Yo put specific workouts together for me so as not to cause any damage to my long standing injuries. The workouts were GREAT, challenging and mindful! she also put me on a nutritional path to help with inflammation and move me closer to my goals. Well! during my first year I lost 50lbs! And more than 30 inches over all. Yo is thoughtful in her training, she takes time to understand what is needed and how she can best help with getting her clients to their goals. Her personality is wonderful! Yo is very personable and genuinely caring, and she mixes that with TOUGH workouts. She truly expects you to put the work in! but does it all with our best interests at heart. I am so thankful for Yo, she is the BEST trainer and a Great! person. If you are looking for a trainer/coach extraordinaire ... Yo is the one.

Enable your child to learn from the best and enroll them in Zhang Kung Fu Institute! Led by Master…read moreSteven Zhang (Zhang Shifu), children will learn basic skills for flexibility, balance, strength, agility, discipline, self-defense, and weapon proficiency. His experience in various forms of kung fu is unmatched and invaluable to the development of the next generation of kung fu practitioners. There are two tracks of development: traditional belt progression and competition/demo team. Most students will likely start in the traditional belt progression track which consists of learning and performing routines involving various weapons (e.g., fists, sword, staff, daggers, spear, whip chain). Upon gaining proficiency through training, each child will be asked to perform their routine and be assessed for a belt promotion. From one class a week or more, each student should be able to naturally progress (even better if they practice some at home). For the students whom are dedicated to the art and desire to further advance their technique and skills, they may be invited to join the competition/demo team. This subgroup will participate in additional classes to prepare for regional, national, and international competitions and events. In addition to weapon mastery and competition routines, the demo squad will expand on their acrobatics and stances. What distinguishes Zhang Kung Fu Institute from other schools is that a lot of the emphasis is placed on building up the fundamentals which support all forms and routines later on. This is especially important when your child is starting young. Zhang Shifu is routinely invited to judge some of the more well established competitions and has an eye for what will maximize a performance's score. Furthermore, the routines are made available through their website for current students to support at-home training. And most important for us busy parents is that the team is very good at communicating with parents on progress, updates, potential competition and performance opportunities, etc. They make it easy to support our kids' growth and development in the sport. Typical classes start with some warm ups and then the skill or routine of the day. Sprinkled in throughout the class will be fun games that help the students harness a skill or technique natively. For example, they may have sword fighting as an exercise to teach better weapon control and footwork, light sparring with gloves to promote evasive maneuvers and blocking, or line exercises to train agility and strength. In addition to Zhang Shifu, there will be a few student teachers (typically high school students who have trained for years under Zhang Shifu) who will help with the classes. The student-teacher ratio is pretty good - probably about 4-6 students per teacher. Also they have summer classes so if you're looking to give it a try or build a skill, these are great options. Inquire about trial classes too. Typically, they take kids about 4.5 years old and up. My child has been studying under Zhang Shifu for nearly 2 years now and has made leaps and bounds thanks to Zhang Shifu's attention to the fundamentals and encouragement to improve.

Both of my children have been practicing at Zhang Kungfu Institute for a long time, and they both…read morelove it. Every instructor is very professional, extremely friendly, and patient with the children. The classes are divided into different levels of professional training. The training not only focuses on Kungfu movements but also exercises the children's bodies and builds their confidence. In addition to the primary curriculum, the children also have many opportunities to participate in performances and competitions, providing them with more opportunities to showcase their talents. I am very grateful for the patient guidance of each instructor, and my children truly enjoy their kung fu classes. Student Feedback ( if I can make 10 stars): Suitable for ages four and above, enjoyable, professional movements, physical exercise, and making good friends. Teacher Evaluation (if I can make 10 stars): Professional guidance, patience, and friendliness with children. Parent Feedback (if I can make 10 stars): Excellent communication with the instructors, transparent and prompt responses to any questions. I highly recommend Zhang Kungfu Institute. The children will learn and enjoy themselves there.
