Manuel’s Renshinkan Karate

If you want a great workout, drop in for one of Ryan’s bootcamps. He’s a beast! The workouts are always different and totally intense. After working out with Ryan, I have seen my body change for the better! I have more definition than I ever have before. Well worth the $ 10 drop in fee.

I went down two jean sizes from in a 2-​month time frame.
That should be enough to convince you to train with ryan right? If not here are some more awesome things about ryan gonzalez’s personal training and bootcamps and manuel’s renshikan.
Personal Training– Ryan’s workouts are intense. It is very challenging and he will make you work. The hour goes by really fast because it is non-​stop. I came to him to prepare for my wedding and When I started my joints were clicking and my knees were messed up. the best part is not only will he tell you how to work out, he will also teach you a lot of stuff on how to correct yourself to be better and stop having pains and aches. I train 2x a week and do cardio on my own. Ryan has secrets on the best cardio workouts you can do on your own as well.
Bootcamp– saturdays are 1 hour circuits. 9−10am. Also intense. Barely any rest but thats why its called a workout and not sleeping in. Be warned: this is no joke. But if you are a beginner he will actually give you alternatives to ease you into them. And at $ 10 its a very good deal.
Sundays– boxing/​kickboxing. They’re long 9 – 10:30ish. I recommend Bringing your own gloves. If you wanna jumpstart your weight-​loss or just to change up your workout routines, i highly recommend boxing. And if you just wanna punch people and stuff this will also be fun for you.
Karate– I personally did tae kwon do at Lawler’s but as far as I can see from the classes this school is great for kids or anyone to learn karate. The teachers are very nice and you can tell that this is their passion just by watching them teach. I believe they compete a lot so that can be great for you or your child.
The End

I’ve been taking the 9am Saturday morning boot camp class for the past month and it’s awesome! Ryan utilizes his knowledge from martial arts as well as overall fitness and sports training to really push the class. Not only is the instructor great, the other students really provide a positive and motivational environment also. I would recommend this class for someone who is getting into fitness for the first time and even up to the advanced level fitness freak!

I attended Ryan’s Saturday morning Boot camp and it was amazing! I have been training for a year at a gym and yet after the boot camp I was sour for the next 2 days! He constantly changes the workouts and has several options for beginners and advance levels. This was good because I tend to get bored with routine. Ryan gave lots of individual attention and I would definitely recommend Ryan’s boot camp class to all. Plus others attending his class are also very encouraging. It is definitely a fun way to train hard and make friends. I would definitely ask to try at least one class, you have nothing to lose.

best school i can find for my kids in sf, sensi and school are very into traditional kata, even their yellow belt able to fluently practice atlest 3 or 4 kata, i am very impressed by the dedication of the sensi and owner to teach the kids as much as they can.

So glad we signed my son up for this. Love that it is still a family run business and lots of individual attention. Great sensei and instructors with patience and discipline.

The best workout I have ever had. After coming here a few times to watch a friend, I decided to give it a try. I thought that I was in good enough shape to keep up with the black belts. Boy was I wrong. The instructor Jose really kicked my A$$ and pushed me to the limit. Now, all I think about is coming to karate. I love this place. The classes are not huge like many other martial arts classes so I was able to get a lot of one to one training from Jose and even from some of the experienced students in the class. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend Manuel’s Renshinkan Karate to anyone that wants to learn karate or get in shape. I look forward to my next class.

Update:
My daughter has now been attending for a year. I love that they not only focus on teaching karate moves/​katas etc. but really emphasize the development of charachter, values, etc. They really are a family business and are invested in their students.

My daughter has been attending for 3 months now. She is 6 years old and attending the 5:30pm class with Sensai Ryan. She was a bit hesitant, interested and intrigued but felt intimidated. The staff and all of the children in the class made her feel welcome, and the sensai’s pay attention to each child with precision, correcting them as necessary, they teach respect, discipline, and perseverance. The staff is always nice and willing to answer any questions. It has a family mom & pop’s feel to it that I love.

I just wanted to say that my niece and nephew started taking Karate here about a year and a half ago. My niece is going to be 7 and my nephew is 10. The level of discipline that they have achieve in the last year have put my own sense of it to shame. They have trained with Sensei Ryan who has demonstrated an up most respect and passion for karate which he has pass on to my little ones. I truly love these kids and I’m thankful they have found that avenue to keep them out of trouble and to grow as respectful teenagers. I look forward to watching them grow through this art and respect ever single person at Manuel’s Renshinka Karate for helping them come into their own.

I learned Shorinji Ryu Renshinkan Karate under Sensei Manuel Gonzalez from way back when — about 20 years ago back when he taught his classes at Crocker Amazon. I followed him to his newer studio after that, but stopped after having to move. He definitely isn’t doing it for the money as back then, I don’t think our fees even covered his costs. He definitely has a passion for the martial art and is highly recommended.
