99 Martial Arts Center

This place offers wide variety of classes, but this review is intended for their wushu class. I came here for about 3 years and have improved a lot under the guidance of the coaches here. Coach jimmy helped guide me in improving my flexibility and strength. Overall a good place to train and great coaches to help motivate and guide you.

I have been here for the last 6 ½ years, the Coaches are absolutely amazing. They helped me with weight training in the fully-​equipped dojo and gym in the back. The facilities were amazing and top of the line. Everyone embraced me with open arms and treated me like family. I would recommended this place to anyone who wants to learn wushu because there are always classes and everyone is friendly. I have continued with staying healthy and having strong fitness goals influenced by the coaches. I am always at the Academy whether it’s for exercising at the dojo or taking classes. I have found my second home and family.

I’ve been coming to this facility since I was 14 and they have been very kind to my family and all their other students. I definitely recommend kids coming here because I feel like it increases discipline and a healthy life style. They have a nicely equipped gym and also has numerous punching/​kicking bags for their students to increase their skill set.

Master Tu and his staff are very passionate in what they do and teach. They have an excellent facility in which Master Tu has personally crafted alot of the equipment used. Very welcoming school that I am glad to have been a part of.

I practiced here for about 2 – 3 years throughout college and was so glad I had found this place. The facility was remodeled and almost all the equipment and training facility is brand new. Their mix of old school and new school training practices makes me feel like i’m practicing in an old fashioned kungfu flick. What’s even cooler is that most of the training facility’s very chinese looking décor is almost completely hand-​built by Master Tu himself. I’ve been doing taekwondo for 12 years and shaolin kungfu for a number of years elsewhere and they pale in comparison to the quality of instruction and equipment offered here.
It’s a real family affair here and the Tu Family are as dedicated as they come. Master Tu teaches Tai Chi and his «special technique» (ask if you are brave enough to learn more about the iron fist/​crotch) to his older students and the younger students are taught by Julie and Jimmy Tu. They really do care about their students and you’ll know it the minute you go to class. They treat you not like students but one of their own family. And this is no ordinary family. Each of them are master martial artists in their own right with countless wushu competition championships under their belts. Jack Tu, the oldest brother is currently making motion pictures in Asia with the legendary film maker Jackie Chan. The Tu family are personal friends to other epic martial artists like Jet Li. They are among the best of the best when it comes to martial arts. I cannot emphasize the quality and caliber of their skills. If you don’t believe me, just ask master Tu to show you what he can do with his fist against a steel pipe and you’ll be amazed and maybe a little shocked.
There is no place else in Arcadia or anywhere else in the Los Angeles area for that matter that has a better staff and facility for a reasonable price.

I trained here mostly for the weights and utilized the punching bags in the backroom. There is a plethora of machines and units you can use for your work out. The qi gong room is especially cool, although I didn’t partake in it. The main room, which is used for wushu is nicely padded and it seemed like the kids training there were having fun while learning discipline from the coaches. The coaches especially are very knowledgeable at what they do, and they know how to channel it extremely well to their students. Just looking at the trophies and awards in the room, they’re revered in this genre of martial arts.

99 Martial Arts Center is a top of the line school for anyone of all ages wanting to pick up Chinese martial arts: particularly Wushu. The place is run by Master Tu, a Qigong master who teaches his own Qigong classes in the back. The main room in the front is spacious for people to train and the teachers are some of the most talented and seasoned competitors you will see in the tournament circuit. The prices are also reasonable as well.

I went to 99 Martial Arts Center about a year ago before I went away for school. Though it seems like this place is always empty and never opened in the morning, it gets pretty darn crowded by night time. They have a large training facility with padding underneath the carpets that were perfect for practicing jumps and rolls without getting hurt. The coaches there are very professional and care a lot about their students. Their prices are unbeatable and probably the best in the area. I am hoping to return here once I am finished with school. I highly recommend this place for everyone!
Coaches Julie and Jimmy there are extremely knowledgeable, just tell them Lon from Unilocal sent you and you’re sure to be taken care of ;)
