The Martial Arts Academy is a great place to learn Wing Chun, Karate, or jujitsu. The teaching is traditional and authentic, and the community itself is peppered with decade plus veterans happy to help. I've found my time here to be very enjoyable and worthwhile. I'm sure you'll also find what has kept these students coming back.

The picture is a lighthouse - and Sensei Will is a true luminary. I'm nearly 6 decades old and have successfully rehab'd from some injuries that occurred from gaining too much weight and thinking I could drop it like a teenager. Wrong. But nearly three years ago I began making changes to improve my life physically and mentally. As I made better choices , more positive options presented themselves to me. I was simply trying to tap into and follow positive energy. I have virtually no history of martial arts but have played competitive sports and have a long relationship with classical guitar ( another detail oriented art you can spend a lifetime on ). The training in this dojo of light has accelerated my weight loss, my fitness and is constantly renewing and invigorating my sense of well being . In any art - it is bliss to be connected to and be a proponent of the legacy that inspires yourself and others around you to experience life on a higher plane. It felt natural to find this place - but the practice , company and guidance by Sensei Will in his dojo - is a gateway to the supernatural. In other words - It's fun, informative and a great work out. See you there !

Throughout my life I have always trained in various Martial Arts. Every since I was a child I have always wanted to train in Wing Chun, but never had the opportunity. Having the right teacher and environment to train in makes all the difference. Once I discovered that there was a local dojo that not only taught Wing Chun, but had an amazing lineage of IP Man’s branch from Lo Man Kam I knew it was a sign to go check this out. My decision to go try out this dojo has been one of the best decisions of my life. The Martial Academy is by far the most fantastic dojo I have ever trained in. It has been a honor and privilege to learn from Sifu Will Yturriaga! The knowledge and dedication to Martial Arts of Sifu Will is truly inspirational and really helps all students who are training to be the best they can be! Every class is a amazing opportunity to learn, grow, challenge myself, and have fun! The people I train with here are all great and you will find students of all different skill levels. I truly believe a Sifu like Will attracts unique and awesome individuals to come train at his Martial Arts Academy. No matter your background in Martial Arts or skill level Sifu Will makes you feel comfortable and excited about learning Martial Arts whether it be Wing Chun, Karate, or Jiujitsu. I am thrilled to have finally found a Martial Arts Academy that I can train at for hopefully the rest of my life!

When my son's neurologist suggested my son attend Karate classes I was sure we were going to have an experience like previously when he tried to participate but just couldn't handle it. The teacher was too loud, there were too many students and not enough one on one interactionwieh the instructor. My friend suggested I try Martial Arts Academy and to my delight and surprise the class was a completely different experience. The instructor, Will, is simply amazing and wonderful! He is gentle and kind and encouraging while maintaining the kids focus and interest. He does this and still conveys discipline and structure. He ends the class with a story because he believes in a well rounded approach to his art and believes it's important to teach not only the movements but the history as well. In addition our son's occupational therapist commented that she believes the classes have dramatically helped our son this year with strength and coordination and both myself and my husband completely agree. I can not say enough great things about Will and this Dojo.

Sifu/Sensei Will (and his staff) is the genuine article Martial Artist. I've studied in a different art for nearly 9 years as well as a decade of kick boxing, and I've not encountered a Master that was as knowledgeable in their fields, nor as fun. No egos here, and you get more of a life coach then just an instructor. Practices are intense work outs and sparring is as hard as you want. Best in the bay and definitely not a McDojo like all the others.
