Sifu had been our guru in spiritual and physical beings for the past 7 years. My 2 children and I went to his Kung Fu and Tai Chi classes, and we have benefited tremendously through Sifu Thorntons mindful discipline. Weve relocated to the South Bay and keep on coming to study at this Martial Arts center because of Sifu! My children used to be unruly, but after coming to his classes for years, they got to be much more respectful for other people, themselves, and their environment. What a gem!

Sifu Terrance Thornton not only has over 25 years of training in martial arts but he also possesses an outstanding way of sharing his knowledge and experience thru his teachings. The number of awards, trophies or certificates only confirms his commitment to all that he has learned and accomplished.If you have any interest in martial arts I strongly recommend San Rafael Martial Arts.

Ive known Sifu Thornton for over 20years from the martial arts arena. Throughout the years, Ive met many instructors and sifus, but not too many stood out. Sifu Thornton is one of the few that I am impressed with. Besides being a great martial artist, he is also an excellent teacher with great patience. I highly recommend!!

We started tai-chi when Sifu opened his studio in San Rafael. We just signed up for another year. We got so many benefits in so many ways from his class that we are dedicated students...Health benefits to start with, and you can add the great spirit of the class due to he high level of kindness and knowledge of Sifu. Worthwhile giving it a try if you want to improve health and have fun meeting great people and working out at your own pace. Looking forward to see you on Monday nights or wednesday nights...
