Immortal Fitness Martial Arts

I picked Immortal Fitness (IF) and stay with them because of the cooperative environment that does not sacrifice real martial training. The sparring opportunities, training methods, meditation seminars, and individualized attention, coupled with the requirements to master the fundamentals (and not merely become a paper tiger), train for real applicability. The physical conflict resolution processes set examples for non-physical conflict resolution methods that I try to translate into professional life. I recommend this school highly to anyone interested in learning real martial arts

I have been a member of a major box gym for a very long time and I considered myself to be in fairly good shape. Suffering from chronic pain in my shoulder and was told the staff of Immortal Fitness might be able to help. Though skeptical, I decided to go. After my first personal training session I soon discovered how out of shape I really was. They diagnosed my problem and gave me a series of stretches and exercises to aid my hurt shoulder. After the first four weeks I have no more pain in my shoulder and have lost over 6 pounds. I am very grateful for the close attention the staff of Immortal Fitness gives and will definitely continue my personal training sessions with them.

I have only been joining for a few months and I can tell that Immortal Fitness is the ONLY traditional kung fu school I can find in San Diego so far. Shifu (master) is a real nice guy. All the seniors are real helpful to show you what you are doing incorrectly and adjust you so that you are doing the right stuff. No one holds any info back if you are ready to receive. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who is serious about training.

My experience at Immortal Fitness Martial Arts was fun, educational, and life changing. The teacher has just the best way of explaining everything, and the atmosphere is just really calm but fun with absolutely no hostility at all. Everyone has a positive attitude, and you don’t feel like you’re alone; unlike other fitness clubs where you feel like you can’t even ask a question. The teacher gives equal attention to all students so you won’t feel lost; but if you can’t ask the teacher, you can ask one of the students who are all very helpful and welcoming. Of course, you get a very good workout while you train. The training can really get my heart pumping and I know that I’m getting the best training there is because the teacher explains everything in full detail, so I know that what I’m doing is not just a sham to pull in money. I have become more aware of myself, become stronger physically and mentally, and have made many new friends through the training. All in all, at Immortal Fitness, you can have fun, learn something new, and get a good workout without even knowing it. Thank you Immortal Fitness Martial Arts and I’ll see you in class very soon.

After getting bored of 24 Hour Fitness, the routines & sets of the machines, and running like a hamster on the treadmill, I wanted to do something different. I am in my mid-thirties & had no prior martial arts training so I came to Immortal Fitness with hesitation and a degree of doubt about what I was going to accomplish. After the first day, I knew this is how I was going to continue my fitness for the rest of my life.

Sifu Desargo’s enthusiasm and passion for the martial arts is seen and felt in every class. His energy is contagious and motivating. Especially when he helps you discover your innate abilities, it inspires you to learn more. You will learn microscopic movements and postures that will make a difference in a fight, and change the way you function in everyday situations.

This is serious kung fu training at its finest. Its academic as well as physically challenging. The notes you take and review truly improve your actual application and understanding of what you are doing. Sifu Desargo’s knowledge and experience makes him the ideal teacher any martial artist is looking for. Whether you are advanced or novice, he will guide you to a new level of awareness.

We dont just shout and run around. All lessons are open to discussion where we study every detail. We take notes and ask questions. It's like a college course combined with a workout. The classes are related to real world applications, so we're not just doing mindless repetative forms. Every time I walk through the door I leave with somthing I can use. Most schools I've been to it takes a long time to get to that point, this school is different.

when i first started the class i thought it was diffrent from the rest. it not the type of school where you pay for the beltyou pay for the experiance with your fellow class mates. there is passion with our sifu when he speaks of kung fu. it really gives you the feeling of enlightenment. he speaks of the history and tradition as if he was born in that century. it is an awsome experiance to say the leasti wouldn't go anywhere else

When i came to the TKFA the things that stood out to me most were the honesty of Sifu Dasargo, the passion for the art of kung fu that he shows everyday, and the ability he has to pass on what he knows with compassion and insightfulness.
These are very important to me with the teacher/student relationship. Who wants to learn from someone who is not into it anymore, or has all the skill in the world, but can't teach it to you unless they beat you up.
At the TKFA, YOU WILL LEARN KUNG FU. Which, is the most important thing. If you want to learn the real thing, safely, effectively, honestly, then i urge you to try TKFA.

"The lessons learned here at the Traditional Kung Fu Academy, for me, is invaluable and more often than not I find that the lessons transfer directly as life lessons, and has changed the way that I live my life.

The class environment is awesome and my fellow classmates offer different challenges to my training, and you can't beat the workout"
