The classes they run
“I have been training for 5+ years at TAMA and my son for almost 2 years and we’ve never been happier!”
“Additionally, there are sparring (Kali Combat) and kid sessions (Junior Warriors).”
“Not only are you provided with great cardio and strength training sessions, but also detailed instruction on technique and self-defense skills in real life situations.”
“So whether you are a beginner or advanced, you will be able to find your place and level up.”
Other martial arts here
“JKD and STX Kickboxing are great for fitness, as both classes include a warmup workout and more mitt/bag work with a general striking focus.”
“The academy offers a good variety of group and private courses: Jeet Kune Do/MMA, Boxing/Muay Thai, & Kali/Silat.”
“Silat and CSW are more for grappling and ground work, though both include striking as well.”
“I initially wanted to tryout his Jeet Kune Do class, but I ended up taking all his classes; Kali/FMA, Silat, CSW/STX/MMA.”
“I was a little nervous this would be like the Karate Kid- Cobra Kai ,.”

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 muay thai? 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at WARRIOR / Tandez Academy of Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.
