Oakland KB is great for anyone looking to get into it or returning. Coach Vince is super caring and has an incredible eye for detail, making him a great teacher for any level of experience. Membership rates are also pretty flexible and affordable compared to other Martial Arts gyms. Overall, great experience.

I am honored to have my daughter join the team. She has learned a lot since she started 4 months ago. Vince is a very respectful and kind person. The space feels peaceful and safe even though Oakland can be a little rough.

I should have started doing this 20 years ago but instead I decided to wait until I was old and insanely out of shape. I also deal with some severe mental health issues so needless to say I was extremely anxious to go considering I'm such a wreck, but I’m so glad I did. If you are having any hesitation, push through the discomfort and take a chance. I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s been a life-saver for me, not just mentally but physically and spiritually as well. I am so honored to learn under someone so knowledgeable and passionate about martial arts (not just kickboxing, see his other classes!) Vince is a consummate professional. He’s very kind, patient, and always there to answer any questions. He’s a great teacher and I’m so happy I found Oakland Kickboxing!

Norcal KBX is one of the more surprising investments in my health I've made. Surprising, because I signed up for boxing courses, expecting to be taught boxing. And I was! But I also picked up some kickboxing, I also had some Sanshou thrown in, not to mention Taekwondo. The information you get from Coach Vince is an unfiltered reflection of his vast knowledge across the _spectrum_ of martial arts and self-defense. You don't get a half-considered generalist perspective, each tidbit of cross-discipline information comes as a _synthesis_ of that greater study. He's truly invested in helping people not just become better boxers, or kickboxers, or practitioners of any single discipline. Coach Vince truly wants to help people become better martial artists, and where I expected to find option paralysis, I now see inspiration. You really can't help but learn when you're at Norcal KBX.

Coach Vince is awesome! I've been working with him for a few years now and still have so much fun and feel like I get a great work out after each session. Even though I'm not an experienced kick boxer he's always very patient and has taught me many skills. And I love his combination of strength training and kick boxing techniques because it keeps it interesting. Definitely recommend his classes!
