He was very understanding of my situation and helped ease me in, providing a very safe training environment and allowing me to go at my own pace. The attention to safe training is always priority for Chris. After a time I was even able to return to training BJJ. The level of teaching is high. the head coach (Chris) is very experienced, as are assistant coaches who are active fighter. They regularly bring in world class veteran Thai fighters for seminars. The gym is very welcoming to newcomers and all types of people. It is always clean and the mats are disinfected multiply times a day and always before BJJ class which I appreciate. Overall I think this gym is great place to learn and train Muay Thai and BJJ for self defense and enjoyment. It is more of a community vibe than a hardcore competition gym, although there are a number of active fighters who train there so if you want to take it more seriously you can.

Our now 5-year old has been attending ECMA for after school program during his TK year. We…read moreoriginally were splitting time between martial arts and an on-site school after program, but after a week, he couldn't stop talking about martial arts and we just signed him up for the full week. Extra bonus - they pick up the kids from school every day. I've really grown to respect the approach that Cody and his staff take with the kids. They never force the kids to take the classes, but for those that do, they are incredibly patient, thoughtful, and kind to them. Beyond core martial arts, they teach discipline, accountability, and other strong lessons. Obviously, martial arts may not be right for any kid. But if your kid loves ninja turtles, likes a bit of exercise, and likes also playing with other kids of other ages, then definitely consider this place.

We moved our kids out of gymnastics and into Jiu Jitzu at SBG NorCal, and we're so glad we did. The…read morekids - with two very different personalities - are both loving it. The adult professional instructors are really engaged and invested in the growth of the kids. The focus on discipline is fantastic; the motivation to add bars to their belt (or eventually the next belt) really gets them going. And they're clearly just having more fun than gymnastics. We were just at an event there, and noticed afterwards how happy all the kids seemed (not just ours). There's a real positive energy. I don't know anything about Jiu Jitzu, but I know this place is a great for the kids to get exercise and personal growth, and maybe even community.

My elementary-age child started martial arts with Davey Sensei last June. The learning has…read morecontinued and now my child has a yellow stripe and is learning (wooden) sword. The teaching is excellent, and they are great with kids. In January 2020 I signed up for Japanese Yoga, which is also taught as part of the martial arts practice. My child and I get to practice some of these exercises together, and this is a wonderful, stress-reducing bonding experience, especially during the pandemic times. A melt-down starts, and we go outside and do some of the exercises to calm the mind and move our bodies! Classes are on Zoom until further notice, which isn't ideal, but it is SO much better than not having class. I recently graduated into the Advanced Japanese Yoga class. It's difficult to express the depth of this practice. It's a wild, wonderful, interesting practice for integrating mind and body. This is the whole deal, not fragments, and it's helping me every day to be a better human being. This can be an opportunity for life-long learning if you like. This practice is very popular in Japan, and based on Tempu Sensei's teachings. The main instructor learned directly from Tempu Sensei's closest students, and has studied the roots (from India's Raja Yoga) and histories of this yoga, which is another Japanese Way (Do). The depth of Sensei Davey's understanding is exquisite. And now I get to learn Shodo too!

I want to share some deep appreciation for Linda at Kneon Wellness. She is absolutely amazing! Not…read moreonly are her massages incredible and deeply restorative, but she goes above and beyond in ways I've never experienced before. She is so incredibly thoughtful--she even thinks about her clients and their well-being when she is away, bringing back wonderful, healthy goodies to support my wellness journey. It is rare to find someone who takes such genuine, heartfelt care of their clients. If you are looking for an exceptional massage and a truly dedicated wellness partner, I cannot recommend Linda enough!

Linda is now located inside a Chiropractic office in Dublin, CA. She offers at-home and on-site…read moremobile massage services still, but now has an office! The location is beautifully decorated! It's a quiet office with a large hallway restroom, complimentary coffee and teas in the waiting room. Being within a Dr's office, it was clean and felt safe and serene. I received the 90 min hot stone massage and opted for the CBD oil add-on. My neck, shoulder and arm pain is something that comes and goes. At its worst, I feel radiating pain and achiness that can continue for several days and disturb my sleep. This time, instead of "enduring" it for several days (and whining to my husband) I booked an appt with Linda. Online booking is super easy and convenient. If you don't know what type of massage you want or need, it's OK! Because Linda will ask you and adjust as needed. When I told her my symptoms, she included some trigger points and stretches! Ahhhhhh She definitely focused on my neck, shoulder and arm (main complaint) but did not forget the rest of my body! ( I didn't realize my lower back and legs were also tight!) The CBD oil did not smell and was a thick oil. She told me not to shower tonight. The only bad thing about CBD oil is that if it gets in your hair, your hair looks super greasy. So bring a hat if you need to go somewhere afterward. Not sure if it was the CBD or the actual massage, but I slept really well and did not wake up multiple times, as I had been doing! My neck and shoulder felt so much better, very loose and I no longer felt the deep radiating ache! I plan to do bi-weekly appts with Linda, as part of my self-care routine!

My son attended this dojo for over a year, consistently showing up and putting in effort. Despite…read morehis commitment, he was never promoted, even to half yellow, while I noticed other kids who attended less frequently or who seemed less focused did receive promotions. According to their online system, my child had about 68 hours of verified instruction, yet still no advancement. From what I observed, promotions sometimes appeared to happen faster for children whose parents were more involved in dojo activities outside of class. For example, I saw families volunteering their time or providing other support, and those children seemed to advance more quickly. In my case, we were not involved in those types of activities, and I couldn't help but wonder if that played a role. Behavior standards also seemed inconsistent. I witnessed my son being told his behavior was a reason for not advancing, yet other children -- including some who were regularly reminded to focus or who disrupted class -- were promoted. At the same time, I often saw my son working hard, staying engaged, and following instructions. I'm not the only parent that felt this way either. There were also some teaching methods I personally felt uncomfortable with. For instance, I once heard comments directed at kids, such as calling them lazy, that struck me as discouraging rather than constructive. While some families may see this as tough coaching, it didn't align with what I wanted for my child. In the end, I felt the promotion process was unclear and discouraging for my son. Eventually, I decided it was time to move on. This is just my personal experience, but I think other families may want to carefully consider whether this dojo's style and values are the right fit for their child.
