To anyone who ever wants to invest in themselves and or their child’s life, instill respect, discipline, and values. You will experience a group of caring and well educated Teachers that will not only transform you physically but more importantly, develop your person from within...... I have been meaning to write this and speak with East West for a long time, but today was the day. I spoke with Mr. Hodges and filled them in on how well my daughters are doing. My daughters would not be where they are today if it were not for the East West Experience.My daughters became part of the East West Family when they were 6 and 4 years old. Although we studied with East West for 4 years, they still carry the lessons and foundation that was developed with East West so many years later. Today, older daughter is 19 and a freshman at Santa Clara University my other daughter is a sophomore in High School in Southern California. They are both athletes and thriving in school, I say this not to brag but to attribute this success in part to the early disciplines East West shares with each one of their students.I can promise that if you commit yourself East West you will enrich your life as well as your families life.Forever appreciative.Respectfully,Chuck Steel

I cant say enough about this school. I booked my twin boys birthday party here (found it online) and it was by far the best party weve ever been to. Ryan was easy to work with, accommodating, and patient (which can be challenging with 16 six year olds). The kids (and parents) were blown away with the demonstrations and loved the quick lesson and obstacle course. They even provided goodie bags! My kids are now begging to enroll... what a great alternative to the typical bouncy house places. I would recommend this to everyone and plan to tell all my fellow parents about it. Thanks for an awesome party!

It is difficult to put into words the experience I have had at East West Kung Fu. Having studied for over ten years speaks for itself just how exceptional their service and attention to detail is. If you are looking to learn self-defense, discipline, mental focus, or just a have great workout, there is no place out there quite like it. I constantly find myself, even after all this time, being challenged to apply myself and my kung fu skill to the best of my ability. What makes East West so amazing is the people in it. Richard Lees staff is so supportive to the extent that at some points they know what great things you can accomplish even before you do. You will feel yourself being pushed, you will feel a constant progression in your abilities and skill, and most of all, you will feel like a part of a family with your classmates and teachers. Each person wants to see you succeed and reach your full potential and these bonds you make with the people around you will last a lifetime. Growing up in Richard Lees East West Kung Fu School, I faced hardships outside of the school especially in my social life and outside factors. If it had not been for my training in martial arts as well as the support and guidance from my teachers, I would not be the outgoing and optimistic person I am today. Now having been a teacher myself for over a year and my mom becoming a student just recently, my outreach in the system continues to expand and I could not be more excited for my future in this system. When I say there is no place out there quite like it, Richard Lees Kung Fu Schools truly are a life-changing experience. I highly recommend Bok Fu Do, the System of the White Tiger, to all people hoping to try some martial arts or get a great workout. Like me, it may just be one of the greatest journeys you take in your life.

My two children and I have been studying at East West Kung Fu for many years, and I can unequivocally say our lives have been forever changed for the better. In 2005, I began researching martial arts school as I wanted a personal outlet and hoped to study kung fu as I had previously in college in San Francisco. At the same time, I did not want to go to a here today, gone tomorrow type of school. I was pleasantly surprised to find East West, i.e. what appeared to be a quality martial arts school, in the midst of the suburbs and with a long standing reputation in the community. Thankfully, I found the right place.While it was initially a little intimidating to start training at a new school, I found the teachers to be sincere, friendly and professional, helping to ease any nervousness I had in starting. More importantly, the teachers also provided quality instruction and motivated the students. The classes were fun, and I enjoyed training with my classmates who subsequently became my friends.A few months after I started studying at East West, my son, who was 5 years old at the time, started as well. He had a shy, cautious personality so I hoped his training at East West would him build his confidence. Boy, did it ever! I have watched him change from a little boy, who wanted to quit playing soccer because he was cautious and afraid of contact, to a confident teenage boy who plays competitive soccer with the confidence and mental focus he has gained from the training and supportive teachers at East West. Did this happen over night? No, of course not. It was a slow, steady process developed by the school via the classes, various school events, and most importantly, the dedicated East West teachers. My son is still actively training at East West as kung fu remains his primary extra-curricular activity, and he is undeniably a different person than what he would have been if he had not studied at East West.My daughter was only 15 months old when I started training, but a few years later, she started her training at East West when she was 4 years old. She is now 13 years old, and like her brother and I, she continues to actively train at East West while competing nationally and internationally in tournaments. She has learned self discipline, focus, and confidence from her training. Her best friends are at East West, and she loves and trusts the East West teachers. She and my son do not remember what life was like before our family was part of the East West community, and we would not have it any other way. My children and I consider the staff and students at East West as our second family.I love my training at East West. It has helped me grow in mind, body and spirit. It has also been a joy as a parent to watch my son and daughter grow at East West as it has been such a positive influence on their lives as well. If you expect you and/or your children to be changed overnight, perhaps this is not the right school for you. But if you are looking for high quality martial arts school with a commitment to their students and the ability to change lives for the better, this is the school for you.

Nice staff and great workout!
