I have been studying Northern Shou Shu for over 7 years now with my whole family. This review might…read moreseem familiar because I have left a review from another studio when I first started this path. There are three studios California. I have been to all three studios. The one in Sacramento is too far for me. I find that this one is unique because of the two school owners, Shun Shifu Erika and Shun Shifu Rose, which allows you to have two different feelings of learning. Don't get me wrong though. All of the owners are not just training to become a master of the art. They are passing down the legacy of the Grandmaster Da Shifu Clark. Therefore, he PERSONALLY is in regular contact with every owner! I have met him several times and he is amazing and scary, but sometimes funny too. Now to continue but with an edit form from my review of my first studio.... I have had some exposure in a few different martial arts. Over 25 years ago, I had looked at a "roots" school of Moore's and was not impressed with the instructors that I met there and never had any interest in attending any of their schools. When I came across Red Dragon Shou Shu, it looked like a mix of Kung Fu and Karate. I wanted my children to learn martial arts and tried out their demo class. When I realized that it was off the line of Moore's, I almost walked out. But I paid for the demo and decided to see if it changed....and it has. Shou Shu starts out with harder style which I feel is good for beginners because they can see and feel the solid moves. As they advance, it evolves into a softer style, like a dance. It is a very friendly and family oriented environment. If you choose this style of martial arts, 1 believe that you will be very pleased with this art. I don't want to scare off the families that want general self defense, but this is NOT a competition style art. It is to save your life, not to fight. If you want to fight, take up boxing. If you want to save yourself from being kidnapped or killed then this is something to look at. Shou Shu is a way of life and with any art in life, it takes time to go from stumbling to flowing.

They teach Shaolin Kempo & Shotokan Karate. The training includes physical exercise, strength training, and self defense. BUT- even more than the physical training is also a component of the program that I think really sets MMA apart from other karate classes. Emotionally strengthening components of the programs & classes including self control, accountability, courage, confidence, kindness, self respect, respect for others, and so much more!! The quote from Sensei Mark Cameron states that at Manteca Martial Arts they believe that: "A Goal is a Dream with a Deadline." To me the quote is a good example of the balance of physical & emotional teachings here.

No place in Sacramento or the surrounding areas are more legit. The two teachers are Shaolin warrior monks from China. We are talking 34th generation Shaolin monks.

It doesn't matter your skill level, they will work with you to achieve your goals. I have been coming here for about a month, and I highly recommend you check this place out as well.

Shifu Eric Mitchell and his team of instructors, are great with my three children. They have a gentle, patient, and encouraging teaching style that allows helps my youngest feel she can do what the older children are doing. They always explain why we do certain moves and how to use them effectively. They also teach that Kung Fu is a means to defend yourself, but only as a last resort. I love that the children get a chance to spar every week to put into practice what they've learned. They see that in a real life scenario, you may need to improvise but the basics are still important.

The sense of community here is incredible -- it feels like a second family, not just a place to learn martial arts. A huge part of that is Shifu Eric Mitchell.

He knows how to push them to grow while making sure they feel supported and encouraged every step of the way.

Not an art that is picked up or understood quickly, I wish I had trained for longer and would love to train there again. Yes, as reviewer Tam D. said "ask Barry for a full demonstration". Such an awesome martial art. If you're looking for a "McDojo" or "Belt Factory", look elsewhere but if you want an authentic Wing Chun experience, give it a shot!
