One of the best things I could have ever done for myself was starting Kung Fu at Monk Wise two years ago. Since starting here I have improved my health (weight and overall), confidence and balance, making friends at the same time. The Shifus and Instructors are very knowledgeable and supportive – taking the time to make sure information is completely understood by everyone. I enjoy the material we cover, particularly the weapons training, and forms –even liking Tai Chi! The times for classes work well and by going here, I also have the option to attend classes at their other location on Redwood Road – including the three hour combined training on Saturdays, something that sounds daunting but leaves me feeling accomplished.

Be the Best - Train with the Best!!! - I was introduced to Sifu Woolsey and Sifu Jung a little over 2 years ago when searching for a studio for my children to transition to from Tae Kwon Do. It was the best move I ever made for my children and oddly enough for my wife and me as well. We are all now experiencing the benefits of Chinese Martial Arts as a family. Monk Wises holistic approach to correct Traditional Chinese Martial Arts training and discipline is exactly what we needed. You have to give Monk Wise an opportunity to transform your life. After over 20 years of back pain and limited range of motion, I am almost completely pain free and I can actually touch my toes. Thank you Monk Wise!!!

If you have never considered a martial art, let me suggest here to be your starting place. Kung Fu and Tai Chi offer an excellent form of exercise that covers everything: strength training, flexibility, and awesome weapons. That in and of itself is amazing, but go deeper, open up more and you will be awe struck by the discoveries you make inside yourself. I found the best me yet; a me that I have never known. If you allow it, if you seek it, if you work for it the principles and philosophies Kung Fu is founded on will take you beyond your expectations and show you a world of possibilities. This studio, these people, Kung Fu has changed my life. -Breelyn Morris

My wife and I were looking to do ballroom dancing for a sort of exercise and coordination skills. We found Sifu Woolsey at Monk Wise Academy November 5, 2011 and decided to try his class out. We went the first time and loved it! We have not looked back. When I started in November I weighed in at 219 and had a waist size of close to 38", it is now April 14th and I weigh 196 and my waist size is close to 33". My flexibility, my stamina, and my strength has increased tremendously. As for my wife, you can reference her review. Thank you, I hope you try this class at least once with an open mind.

Joining Monk Wise Martial Arts Academy was one of the best decisions Ive ever made. Apart from the great teachers (Shifu), studios, and classmates; nearly every aspect of my life has improved from the program. To name a few: Balance, strength, reflexes, depth perception, memory, coordination, confidence, and even my social skills have improved. Come learn weapons, animal styles, tai chi, north and south styles, as well as traditional family styles. With one Sifu that has trained in the monk temple and another Sifu that has trained in China since he was 6, there is no shortage of knowledge.

I am so impressed with Monk Wises youth program. My son who has always been really shy now has much more confidence. He is also much stronger physically and more diciplined. We have worked with Neuro-developmentalists in the past to help the mind/body connection for my son and I am thrilled to see that this Kung Fu program is perfect for strengthening that connection. The instructors are so great with children practicing what I call "gentle firmness". I highly recommend this program!

Ive been at monkwise for about a year and a half now. My experience here has been fantastic, the stuff you learn in your curriculum is great and everyone there is super friendly and helpful. The events happen are awesome too, with moon festival, summer retreats and Chinese new year celebration to name a few, the experiences you have are ones youll remember forever. Both Shifus are amazing too, they have tons of experience and are great teachers!

I have to agree with Nate, Monk Wise is a great place to mingle have fun while exercising. The material is most certainly incredible. Its honestly what Ive been looking for when I searched for true kung fu school. American Kempo is NOT kung fu. Have a look for yourself, if you are like me searching for an authentic chinese martial arts that will teach the history, background and application of Gong fu (kung fu), you will find it there.

This place is a life-changer. If you go in and give it a serious try, youll find your life improve immeasurably! Im so glad I started, and now I cant imagine my life without it! People in our society really need this sort of activity, because it keeps you healthy without slowing destroying your body like many american sports or exercise regimens do. Try it!

This review is specifically for Janet, the Tai Chi instructor. Janet came out to our family home and gave us a private Tai Chi lesson, including some history, basic movements, weapon forms and a little demonstration of what a complete series looks like. It was WONDERFUL. She was knowledgeable, professional and made it fun. I would highly recommend her.

Traditional instruction from sifus with an established school lineage from China and Tiawan. Several styles. Multiple weapons. Meditation. Internal and external arts. Southern and northern styles. After years at other studios, I have never seen such depth of material taught by such skilled, patient, and masterful instructors.

Ive been with the academy since it first opened and wouldnt trade the experience for anything else. Regardless of how serious you take the training, the instructors will work with you on all levels with great patience. All anyone needs to get started is an open mind and courage within themselves.

This is a great place to learn Kung Fu. The instructors are always very helpful and positive. I always leave class feeling tired from a fantastic workout but also smiling because I had so much fun. As soon as I leave one class I am looking forward to the next.
