Ever since the pandemic hit, communication has been delayed by weeks or just non responsive. It took them several weeks to give me a zoom password for their online format. I have tried since reopening to ask for a portal login to be able to sign in for classes in person. On top of that I still have not received some merchandise that I had ordered and paid for in full. I have asked several times about this and they still have yet to respond.
For anyone facing the same problem. I suggest calling your bank and providing the email transcript of any services and merchandise not fulfilled. They

My son enrolled a month ago and it's been great. Shifu Felipe and Sihing Lee are amazing with the kids. They are firm but so enthusiastic. My son has gained more self-control since he started a month ago. He is motivated by the color levels and the work with the different weapons! Kids 6 and under are part of their Tiger Team and it's a program!

This is an absolutely awesome school and I recommend it to everyone! My kids and I have been going there for many years now and we all are loving it!! There are not too many physical activities that the kids or adults stick to for a long time, but this school has changed that for us completely and I can't believe that its been more than 6 years for us here and we are still going strong! I never thought kids would actually have fun exercising but I saw it with my kids here and I see it here all the time with others!! They often have smiles on their faces in class and you can see they are actually

We've been on two journeys at Tat Wong with two sons.
With the first son, the experience was good. Fast forward about 8 years and the experience with the second son has been excellent. I attribute this to the continuous improvements that the academy has made. Their instructors really know what they are doing and work very well with people of all ages. They are extremely disciplined and have high standards, but show a really nice light touch with the kids.
They emphasize many things including respect and decency toward other people. That shows in the daily pledge that the students make

I've been meaning to write this for awhile because I think positive reviews are important for businesses that deserve them. :) Having said that, I hope as well that it will be helpful to anyone who is looking for more information or opinions about TWKFA.
My daughter has been going to TWKFA for over a year and a half and is still excited to go and learn every week! I waited a couple of years before letting her get involved with martial arts knowing it would be a bit commitment of time & money. She never lost interest and kept asking, so when we saw the TWKFA Lion Dance Troupe perform

This Kung Fu Academy is fantastic and has a lot to offer all experience levels. It is fun and friendly environment. The entire teaching staff is professional and real role models. There is Kung Fu, kickboxing and a lot of specialty techniques and classes, such as sword, staff, nunchucks, sparring, boot camp, self-defense and tournaments. There are a lot of students, training by level (belts) and divided into kids, juniors and teen/adult. It is a wonderful environment to work on your fitness objectives, whether it is get in shape, weight loss, self-defense, self-confidence, endurance, balance

My kids started at TWKFA at the age of four; my son stopped when he went to college but my 20 year old daughter still takes classes when she can. The kids were having so much fun that my husband and I started taking classes in our mid-40s. That was almost 13 years ago.
Unlike many martial arts programs, TWKFA has its deep roots in kung fu traditions, it has a formal instructor training program, a bevy of instructors from which to learn (not just one or two people) and a history of students staying in the program for a very long time. It can become a second family.

Since joining Tat Wong Kung Fu Academy, my 3 year-old daughter has become more focused and disciplined, and I've noticed a vast improvement in her overall behavior. The instructors and staff are all professional, courteous, and not to mention, world class martial artists. I'd highly recommended this school for anyone wanting to learn martial arts.

Both my children attend TWKF academy. I can't say enough good things about this place. The instructors are very attentive to the students needs, practice and form. Good structure and group management. Always...always...always positive! Ive seen my kids develop confidence and discipline in ways thay i didnt expect, particularly in school. Highly recommend.

I started training at Tat Wong at the ripe old age of 43 because I had fallen out of shape and I wanted to get back to better health. I have been training with Sifu Felipe and the amazing TWKFA staff for four years so far and I'm probably in the best shape I've been in in ten years! I can't recommend them higher!

I was a student at this school for a little over a year. The San Mateo Dojo is a wonderful place with great instructors, junior instructors and mentors. The one and only thing that was very upsetting to me was when I became injured. I was going to be out long term due to surgery and recovery period. So I requested a refund of my money since you pay for months ahead of time to get the best rates. When I received my refund check from the main office in San Francisco, they deducted quite a bit in fees, even with presenting a doctor's note. Read the contract carefully and ask questions. Still

I've been training here for about 13 years. Straight up - if you're looking for THE place to train your body and mind, you've found it. The combination of developing techniques in both Chinese Kung Fu and kickboxing has been awesome for me.
Through the excellent training I've received from the instructors here and GrandMaster Tat Wong himself, I have won gold in many international competitions. If you want to start a journey of martial arts... Like I've said above, look no further!

First, a little background on this reviewer:
I've studied northern-style Shaolin Kung Fu for 8 years in a different country, was an instructor for six years, and competed both nationally and internationally as a state representative. I knew since then that I was married to Kung Fu. When I moved here, I wanted to make sure I chose the right place. So I did my research, I visited a few places, read some reviews. And even though this one was a different style than mine, I picked this one.
I've met a lot of Masters/Head Instructors over my lifetime, and I thoroughly enjoy Sifu Felipe&apos

My daughter has been attending TWKFA for the past nine years and is a second-degree black belt. We're very happy with this school!
I brought my kids to the studio on the recommendation of a friend years ago. I thought my young son would like to learn martial arts but it was my daughter that fell in love with it. She tried other things like dance and softball but didn't find her own sport until coming to Tat Wong. Over the years, she found that she felt better after a hard workout and really appreciated getting strong and fit. This kind of "exercise while playing" is the best

I hardly ever take the time to write reviews but I want others to know how wonderful this school is. I joined about 4 years ago at age 56!!!! The instructors have been so wonderful and supportive. I can't always do the jumps, but I am encouraged to do what I can. I love the friendliness and feel I'm part of a larger family. The challenge of remembering the complex forms and self defense keep me challenged mentally, while the workout leaves me definitely challenged physically. I am now stronger and healthier than I was 15 years ago when I was working out at a local gym. Sifu Felipe, Sehing

I've been a student here for the last 6 years and have loved every minute of it. From learning traditional martial arts and then full contact kick boxing training, my weight has plummeted - I'm in my late 30's and feel better and fitter than I did in my 20's.
The teachers and staff are very supportive and will push you further than you ever thought you could be pushed. The whole school, with the various branches around the Bay Area, has a collegiate feel to it and I've also made a lot more friends than I ever imagined.
