Reviews for Fremont boxing classes
Recent success stories from people in the Fremont area.

We enrolled our 7-year old son at Tri-City Aikido in summer 2017. He is a shy and smallest kid in his class, and we thought learning martial art can help to build up his confidence and learn some self-defense skills. We love the way Sensei Anthony teaches the kids class: he puts strong focus in discipline, teaches kids how to protect themselves and he knows how to make the class fun! After a few months' training, our son became more confident and developed situational awareness while learning basic Aikido techniques.
Seeing the benefits of martial art on my son, I started training in the adult classes myself the same year. Sensei Anthony is very tentative to beginners like me. I got to train with black-belts and it certainly helped me to understand the Aikido techniques more quickly. Highly recommended dojo for tots, kids, beginners and black-belts who want to learn the essence of martial arts while having fun!

It was great how passionate and excited the trainers were and their dedication to help you reach your goals. I trained for 3 months and it was totally worth it. I was even able to do some cool outdoor workouts with my trainer just to mix things up and when the weather was nice.

Tom has been my tai chi master for over 13 years, since 2006. The things I look for in an instructor are: a deep knowledge of the art; deft skill in communication and transmission; an upright, noble character; and an open, generous heart. Tom possesses all of these, and more. From him I have learned more than just movement and martial arts -- he shares his views on music, painting, meditation, philosophy, and spiritual cultivation. A truly unique individual who is a vanishing species of old-school teacher, that treats his students as more than just paying customers. I can't recommend him highly enough.
