The welcoming aloha vibe creates an encouraging, family centered environment for training! Both of my young teenage daughters enjoyed the challenging and supportive coaching. They appreciated how well the techniques were broken down by the coaches in order to foster growth and effectively improve their technique. They were challenged to work hard and earn their progress in a supportive & encouraging environment! The program is organized, with well planned strategic lessons. Active engagement and discipline are heavily emphasized, creating a safe and effective learning environment for all students! Highly recommend this Muay Thai program for anyone who wants to improve technique, has the desire to compete, or even just wants to improve their general health, fitness, coordination, confidence, focus and/or discipline!

That said, if you are looking to train in contemporary/traditional external wushu or internal wushu (taiji quan, bagua Zhang, and qigong) on Oahu, this is a good place to do it! The Wushu Center's team of volunteers do their best to provide a wushu training atmosphere full of aloha spirit. We offer quality wushu instruction to all skill levels, with after school programs suitable for children 5 and up. Contemporary competitive wushu is the biggest draw for the younger students, as it is often featured in the movies and TV (Jet Li, Kung Fu Panda, Avatar: the Last Airbender, Jackie Chan) and it is a fun and challenging way to get and stay in shape, make friends, and participate in an internationally competitive sport with surging popularity and modern appeal. Many older youths and adults also enjoy the "internal" wushu classes in Taiji Quan and Bagua Zhang (eight-trigram Palm), which offer excellent holistic wellness and fitness routines while also teaching and building useful and effective self defense skills. The Hawaii Wushu Center is also one of the few places in the US that you can find authentic Yin Family Bagua Zhang, which is pretty special, if you look into it. ;) Ok, I'll wrap this shameless plug up now with another welcome: Aloha E Komo Mai: come join our Wushu Ohana!

Kru Dan and Coach Chad give each and every student in the class attention and showing all of us the right and correct technique. The best part is Kru Dan and Coach Chad are always willing to give the extra time and effort for everyone before and after class to work on technique or just talk about the art of Muay Thai.

I met Bill Maeda thirteen years ago. Our first encounter is a pretty amazing story that we both…read morelove sharing with people! I was at home on a Sunday afternoon, lying on the couch, procrastinating while watching TV, deciding whether or not to go to hit the gym that day. All of a sudden, this totally ripped, super cool looking Japanese guy appeared on this Spy Series television show, and I got immediately inspired and decided at that exact moment that I needed to stop procrastinating and get off the couch and go work out. I left the house and walked to the gym. I took the escalator up and as I got off at the top, I literally bumped into this totally ripped, super cool looking Japanese guy and realized that it was the same guy I had just seen on TV ! We have been friends ever since, and Bill has been my exclusive trainer since then. What I love about being trained by Bill is that he knows the importance of incorporating NEW things into your workout realm every few months. It has set the bar high for me every year of the thirteen that I have been blessed to call Bill my friend and Trainer. Bill was the first person I recall to ever say the words"kettle-bell" in Hawaii ! I am so grateful to him for always re-callibrating my whole program and way of thinking every few months since I started training under him. It keeps things from getting stale and routine and well... boring ! The body and brain really only respond and change when we give them new and challenging things to do, and in my opinion, no one teaches those principles while incorporating that theory through fresh and challenging training sessions better than Bil Maeda. Here we are all these years later, and Bill i s still inspiring me, as he did that day on TV, to get off that couch and get a great workout in every day !

I was first introduced to Bill Maeda, the man behind FitPro, two years ago by a good friend who had…read morebeen working out with Bill for several years. My first question to him was, "How can you have worked out the with same trainer for 3 years and not be bored?" My personal history is riddled with workout regimens that have come and gone because, in the end, they just get boring. Bill has kept things fresh for two years, with the goal of making me "unbreakable" -- strong and injury-free. We started with foundational exercises (push-ups, pull-ups, planks, step-ups, lunges, twisting core exercises, etc.) to make sure that I had a solid base of strength before moving on to more dynamic movements and heavier weights. At every step of the way, Bill focused on teaching strict form for every exercise. I share his belief that maintaining good form, with light or heavy weights, ensures that one gets the most out of every exercise and avoids injury. In the last two years, Bill has mixed in kettlebells (thruster, long cycle, snatch), traditional power lifting (squat, bench, deadlift), punching & kicking, sandbags, weighted swinging clubs, body weight movements, and a variety of isometric exercises. I participate in a variety of other sports and events (soccer, triathlons, obstacle races, endurance events), and Bill designs my workouts to help me prepare specifically for them.
