At NorCal Mudo, we believe in the power of martial arts to strengthen both the body and the mind. Our program guides students step by step, allowing them to develop key skills through focused practice in the dojo and in their home practice. Each class is taught in a welcoming and respectful atmosphere where students are encouraged to ask questions, share their experiences and learn at their own pace.
Through training, you'll see improvements in your focus, strength, flexibility and technique. In a world full of distractions, NorCal Mudo offers an opportunity to unplug, reconnect with yourself and build meaningful connections with others.
​
Our approach blends the values of traditional martial arts — like respect and discipline — with modern techniques from Boxing, Kickboxing and MMA. Whether your goal is self-defense, fitness, or confidence-building, you’ll find the tools to succeed in every class.
Getting started is easy! Simply reach out to schedule your first trial class and we'll guide you from there. Once you experience the benefits, you’ll be ready to begin your journey with us. Call today and take the first step toward a stronger, more focused you!

OUR COMMUNITY
MEET VINCE
MARTIAL ARTS INSTRUCTOR
Vince is a Bay Area native and has been training in martial arts since 1993. He holds a fourth degree black belt in Moodukkwan Taekwondo and has trained in disciplines including San Shou Kickboxing, Northern Shaolin, Tai Chi and Toyama Ryu Battodo.
​
Having experienced firsthand the benefits of martial arts in his personal life, he is thrilled to share his love and passion of training with you:
​
When I started training in martial arts I didn’t know what to expect. I just knew that I needed a change. Once I got involved, my life immediately began to improve. I became stronger, learned valuable new skills and developed a sense of confidence that had previously eluded me. I’ve never turned back since. Now I help others discover their potential. It’s a step-by-step process and no one gets it overnight. But I believe with determination and the right encouragement, you can find what you’re looking for. I look forward to partnering with you.
