Intensity Martial Arts

An excellent martial arts school and community. I have been doing martial arts for over 10 years, and have gone to many schools and tried a variety of styles, although most of my experience is in Tae Kwon Do. Sahbunim Jeremy has all elements of being the martial arts teacher that I am looking for. Not only does he have the skills and experience necessary to teach martial arts as art, self defense, self improvement and fitness — his approach is both contemporary and thoughtful — something unique that you will not find in many schools. If you stop by the school it may be the best way to see for yourself — the students have sharp techniques, enjoy being there, and Jeremy clearly communicates well with them. Classes are variegated and fun. This is a great community and I encourage anybody interested in martial arts to try a class and see if this is the right place for you.

Sabunim Jeremy is great with the kids, as well as adults. He is always even-​keeled, loves the art, its foundations and principles.
His humble passion reflects in the blossoming and winning of his students. If you want to be a part of the Alameda community, you will surely be at home in this studio.

I train at IMA and is a great environment. Very friendly, and the staff are great with both kids and adults. Very open minded and patient.

My kids absolutely love Jeremy and IMA. He knows how to individually work with and inspire each child to develop their skills and self-​confidence. His wife, Susan, a first grade teacher, is there for support and helps the students with their study. We have been there for about 6 months now, and it has enable my kids much better fitness and character strength.
It is a wonderful group and each student gets personal attention. We have a good routine of going twice a week, and we have built relationships with the other students and families. The values from IMA have become a cornerstone of my family.
