Modesty, Courtesy and Integrity as well as additional fundamentals in Karate are taught daily. Classes, tournaments and friendship with others in their classes make each class that much better. Instructor Ed teaches so much more than these kids even grasp today, but will remember as adults. Of course my hope is my children never need their karate training to come into play in a real life experience, but I know with what they have learned and continue to learn with Instructor Ed, they will be ok. Thanks Ed for keeping these kids on track and moving forward to achieve their goal of Black Belt.

Igor was an incredibly patient and effective teacher. I never thought I'd do a BJJ class but when it was over I left wanting more. As an educator it was so wonderful to see all of the kids in class. They seem to be learning way more than just jujitsu. Self respect, confidence, community, just to name a few. Thank you Igor, I appreciate the lesson and great experience at Ralph Gracie Richmond.

At my age (late 40's) & fitness level (severely out of shape ), I found starting Jiu Jitsu to be very physically challenging but Professor Igor is always encouraging & provides guidance when needed in a professional manner. I look forward to continuing my Jiu Jitsu studies at Ralph Gracie Richmond Academy & I plan to enroll my son at the Academy when he is old enough.

Definitely more Mr. Miyagi than Cobra Kai…read more I found this place even though I wasn't looking to get into Karate. My friend suggested I bring my rambunctious son to their kids class. He spent most of his time mugging into the mirror or trying to tear the head off Bob (their training dummy). After the second month, I went to Sensei Mehran and said "we've been coming for a while now and you haven't asked for any money. What do I owe you?" His response was "he's not learning anything right now. When he starts to learn, THEN you can pay me." Being the type that doesn't like to take advantage of kindness, I then heard myself ask "what if I were to start taking Karate?" I swear, I'd never had any interest in learning a martial art. I didn't know the difference between a snap kick and a roundhouse, I hadn't hit another human body since my brothers outgrew me. WTF did I just say that for? I'm glad I did. Sensei Mehran is a kind, patient and easy going teacher. He's not afraid to correct my form (I apparently bow like an old Chinese cook). It is obvious he just likes being with students, teaching and doing Karate. He is also very knowledgeable. I was the only one to make it to morning workout today, and got a lesson in qui gong and tips on improving the specific forms I need to know for my upcoming belt test. It was awesome. Everyone else who works out here is really nice too. Frequently, I'm the only non-black belt in class I always learn a lot from them. They take the time to help me with my form and explain in detail why we do what we do. After evening workout, people hang out and chat. It's a good community, they help each other move, lend tools, and just enjoy each other's company. Adults in today's society don't get that enough. So, if you're looking to sweep the leg, go elsewhere. If you want to have fun workouts (and you DO get sweaty) and join a fun community, come here.

The culture is welcoming and serious about getting better. If you want authentic Muay Thai from someone with real credibility, this is the place.

This past May, Coach Gen asked me if I wanted to train for a Spartan Race…read more At 46, the idea of climbing ropes, scaling walls, doing monkey bars, carrying sandbags and buckets, and tackling 20 obstacles sounded a little crazy. But I said yes--and Gen got me ready. What I appreciate most about Gen is his ability to push me outside my comfort zone while also giving me the confidence to take on the challenge. He taught me the skills I needed for the race, figured out where I needed work, and made sure I was prepared when race day came. A few weeks ago, I finished my first Spartan Race. Some obstacles took multiple tries, but I did them--including climbing a rope, something I never imagined I'd learn to do at 46! And apparently one new challenge wasn't enough, because I'm now training with Gen for another Spartan Race and Muay Thai. He continues to challenge me, teach me new skills, and expand my idea of what I'm physically capable of. I can't recommend Coach Gen and the Gen X Fitness team enough. If you want a coach who will challenge you, prepare you, and make you realize you can do things you never thought you could do, Gen is your guy.

Free weights, cardio, machines.... just good enough to pass muster! I've seen a lot worse (Oakland downtown or Castro Valley). The bad: I don't know why, but all 24hr Active and Sport have terrible bathrooms, cleanliness that is. But get in and get out and it won't be a big deal. All in all, I'd recommend. But if this place ain't for you, go to city sports and pay double, (which I never get why you'd pay so much for the same exact results....)

I have to tell you last time I did this and then played golf, I was 9 over par with a double bogey (cause my cart partner lost my ball and I had to take two strokes). Aka I was so loose fluid and smooth, I looked liked Freddie Couples out there! The dojo is getting popular and the classes initially 17-20 now 25-30 folks, mostly our vintage, stretching those limbs, using the core, working on the breathing. A full one hour session that each time works on different parts of your body. Chris and wife team Ellen say "wow, we noticed your curve in the spine is so much better in your sucassena." Using bolsters, ropes and gravity, we work it to our limits. Folks are getting there earlier as parking in PT Richmond gets hairy that time of morning. I feel like a million bucks after each session!!
