Emeryville Martial Arts
Our 9th grade class visited Emeryville Martial Arts last Friday for a 3 hour self-defense/anti-bullying workshop. It was a fantastic experience for everyone! The instructor was super engaging and very attentive. She got everyone (including the teachers) up and moving. The students came back energized and couldn't stop talking about all the things they'd learned. One student said, "It was the best workshop ever!" Thank you Sensei Terri!

...a great community of teen and adult instructors. My daughter has been nurtured, encouraged, and challenged by all her ''elders'' including the many terrific teens. She says Hoa Sen is like a family and that everyone is always willing to give extra help and encouragement to those that need it. I highly recommend it!

Emeryville Martial Arts professes more than physical stamina, technique, and style. It truly demonstrates the mind and body experience. In the last 2 years, at least 5 teens who have obtained a rank of upper brown belt to black belts, have excelled academically: Attending Harvard and most recently newly admitted to MIT. I feel as an adult, who started taking my children here 4 years ago, and now an active participant, this dojo presents a fantastic environment for growth. Mentally, physically, and self-control are the wonderful tenets of this dojo. From the very young to the more seasoned (myself 50's), a strong comradery of individuals interact in a positive way. So, for those of you that are into more than just hitting a bag, this place engages many more of the body's senses.

My son and his 3rd grade buddies attend the cuong nhu classes twice a week... taught by two wonderful women Terri and Pam assisted by older girls, I love the focus on self-control and discipline.My son initially wasn't that into it. And he's a kid who doesn't like anything that is structured. I'm glad I didn't let him quit. (I said he had to commit to one year) For us, it's been wonderful to see our son gain mastery and confidence in this martial art form. Now, after 8 - 9 months, he's ''getting'' it and is proud of having made it to the second purple stripe on his belt. I whole-heartedly recommend this dojo to any child/family.

I love the Dojo. Great women sensei's, clean. Terri is great at instilling a sense of responsibility and great values in my (too 'entitled') children, and, they have learned so much in the martial arts! Self defense, strength, confidence, flexibility have improved immensely. So glad she's there!

We really appreciate the commitment and compassion of your teaching and the model of self-reliance and (female) empowerment that you exemplify. We are glad that our kids have been exposed to karate through you..

My kids have gone to summer camp and taken regular classes...we have always felt like family there. I liked it from the very beginning because (1) the sensei/teachers never talk down to the students, even the youngest ones; and (2) the culture of the dojo is to have kids who are further along teach and lead those students who are at lower levels. This really encourages the kids to be responsible, and true to the practice.The summer camp is great since they spend intense time on the martial arts, which gets the movements more ''ingrained'', and then they also swim often (there's a public pool across the street), an do really fun stuff like go to A's games. I've always felt like the owners and teachers really cared about and took care of my kids there.
