From the reviews
I've been coming to Tandez Academy for 8 months so far and I can't recommend it highly enough! I had been practising Karate for many years in many different places. When I moved to the Bay Area I wanted to try something different, with more practical application.
If you are looking for the best all-inclusive martial arts school in the Bay Area, you just found it. I attended my first free week of classes back in 2008. I was blown away after seeing the instructor demonstrate JKD Bruce Lee trapping, Kali stick and knife hostage disarms and Silat take-down self-defense techniques.
I am about four months into my training at Tandez Academy and it has been a phenomenal experience so far. I always look forward to coming to classes and being challenged but supported in my goals of physical fitness, martial arts skills, and overall self-improvement.
If you are looking for reality based martial arts, hoping to learn self defense, and or just looking for a great fitness workout, then this is the school for you.
New to kickboxing? Start at WARRIOR / Tandez Academy of Martial Arts
WARRIOR / Tandez Academy of Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at WARRIOR / Tandez Academy of Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
