I was a student of Lai Sifu in San Francisco in the 70's. The rich memories of practice and camraderie were things that I cherished and helped me get through those early years in San Francisco. We were tight knit and I was unable to find a studio with that spirit, knowledge, genuiness, and close knit family until I met Sifu and Rachel. Sifu has parallel knowledge, extensive understanding of Chinese Kung Fu systems and I'm entirely comfortable learning and practicing the disciplines taught in his studio.

Martial Arts with Sifu Scott Jensen and 10,000 Victories is sublime and effective!

45 minutes of the Qigong workout addresses every joint, muscle, tendon, and encourages energy flow through the body.

Great for all ages!

Scott's knowledge of how each exercise addresses specific muscles and organs is expert.

His display of decades of study to all the disciplines he teaches and their corresponding details is awe-inspiring.

In addition to Qigong: Taiji, Xing Yi, Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, etc... nothing short of what I feel is the best around....
the real deal!

As a stroke survivor with a significantly rattled carriage, I am grateful for the constantly improving physicality,
as well as being well on the road to self care and transmitted education on subtle energy management.

All of this done with a smile, kindness, laughter, heart, example, and gentle yet challenging and effective expert training,
not to mention Sifu Jensen's own impressive prowess.

Scott and his wife Rachel are not only great teachers, and great Martial Artists in their own right, but also dear human beings with huge hearts.

Their welcoming and joyful energy makes this wandering student very lucky and happy.

Scott passes on the lineage of his renowned teacher, through expertise, example, and patience.

Finding the right teacher is a big deal.

Sometimes the universe will surprise you and provide just what you need.

Forever grateful.

Gather the Qi and Spread the Love!

I have been a dedicated student at 10,000 Victories Kung Fu for over ten years, and my experience has been nothing short of transformative. Under the expert guidance of Sifu Jensen, I have learned and grown in multiple martial arts disciplines, including Xing Yi Quan, Tai Chi, Northern Shaolin, Qi Gong, and various weapons forms.

What sets 10,000 Victories apart is Sifu Jensen’s remarkable talent for teaching. His deep understanding of traditional martial arts, combined with his ability to share that knowledge in a clear and accessible way, has allowed me to master not only the forms but also critical aspects like body alignment, whole-body conditioning, and mental focus.

Training here has not only improved my physical abilities but has also enriched my mental discipline. Sifu Jensen’s years of dedicated practice and teaching shine through in every class, and I am grateful for the wisdom and skills I have gained from my time at 10,000 Victories Kung Fu. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to deepen their martial arts practice or simply improve their overall well-being.

I was so thrilled to find such an excellent sifu to learn qigong and tai chi from here in the North Bay Area. Sifu Scott Jensen is the real deal. Such a wealth of knowledge and he's sincerely invested in giving his students the benefit of all he knows of the many forms he's accomplished. I like how down to earth he is and how enthusiastically he teaches, at times interjecting with light humor.
I especially love how he shares the martial art application of the tai chi moves, very fascinating!
Another thing I love about the class is how welcoming and inclusive everyone is. Quite a variety of ages and lifestyles yet we all support and look out for each other.
This particular form of qigong is dynamic and really opens and stretches out your muscles and tendons. I'm feeling years of painful accidents slowly unraveling and releasing from my body as I gain more strength, balance and agility.
I highly recommend taking classes from this school and we are quite blessed to have such a worthy teacher in our community.

i have truly enjoyed learning qigong and tai chi over the last year from sifu jensen. while repetition of the movements are a given, he also explains what is actually happening during the movements and what the intended outcomes are, whether it be a health benefit or martial aspect. instead of just saying follow me and you’ll feel better, sifu jensen provides compelling reasons for learning. this isn’t a quick fix kind of thing, it takes time and effort to achieve results. the muscle tightness and aches in my upper back and shoulders i had before i started practicing with sifu jensen are much lessened if not outright gone. i have become more aware of when my body isn’t feeling quite right, and, now, i can actually do something about it.

I first came to Tai Chi from Watching it. That was years before I finally joined Sifu's class.

Be the time I found Sifu and Rachel I had had two hip replacements (different hips), various broken bones, chronic low back pain and a long struggle with posterior tibial tendonitis. The years of exhilaration from rock climbing, backpacking and running once gave my life meaning. It was wonderful, but it began to give way to a realization that, physically, I needed something else that would heal me while strengthening me.

I have been learning Tai Chi and Chi Gong from Sifu and Rachel for several years now. I found that it is just what I needed. In a quiet way, Tai Chi demands strength and mastery - the kind of precise movement that I valued while rock climbing. Tai Chi both demands and enhances body awareness. Developing strength is a wholly different process than what I relied on earlier in my life. Now my strength is more integrated. My balance is improved.

In addition, the students who work with Sifu and Rachel are great people. Sifu and Rachel create a supportive and warm atmosphere for learning.

Excellent local resource for training in T'Ai Chi, Kung Fu, Chi Kung, and T'Ai Chi Sword, based out of the San Rafael Community Center. Sifu Jensen--Scott--is a warm, fun and funny teacher who has many decades of experience both teaching and competing, and is probably the best T'Ai Chi teacher I've ever had due to his attention to posture specifics. I've been dabbling in different forms of Chi Kung and T'Ai Chi for about forty years now, and am very impressed with how friendly and supportive all the other students are, most of whom are older like me. After becoming a couch potato during the pandemic, three months and counting of T'Ai Chi have begun to get me back into shape! Classes Monday and Wednesday evenings.

I started to practice Tai Chi and Tai Chi Sword 7 years ago.

I primarily turned to Tai Chi for health issues. I was concerned by my weak legs and feet, so I looked for smooth standing exercises in order to be more grounded.

Sifu Jensen gives us a comprehensive approach to Tai Chi. His precise practical teaching is always supported by detailed verbal explanations, insights on health issues, and even small stories that make the class interesting!
He teaches and practices with us, among us. He is fully present, he motivates our troops! he is totally engaged in teaching and eager to share his passion.

Moreover, I really enjoy his artistic skills, which bring everything up to a higher level.

Everyday practice of Tai Chi helped me get physically and mentally stronger. My self-esteem, confidence, and willpower have greatly improved, as well as my awareness of my general body posture. Furthermore, I love the smooth, round, continuously flowing moves of the beautiful choreography of the Tai Chi and Tai Cho Sword forms.

The more I get satisfied with my progress, and the more I am eager to fine-tune my knowledge and challenge myself by learning new things!

I have studied with Sifu Jensen for 10 years. His knowledge and skill in martial arts is amazing. Not only his he effectively an encyclopedia of knowledge, but he can convey it in a digestible way that is easy to understand and implement.

Before joining 10,000 Victories, I had studied other martial arts extensively and had the normal wear and tear you'd expect. But after training with Sifu Jensen, I was able to eliminate my need for orthotics resulting my plantar fasciitis by following Sifu's advice and training.

I whole heartedly believe anyone of any age can benefit by training at 10,000 Victories. Each individual loves being there and enjoys sharing their knowledge and journey with others.

I recommend 10,000 Victories School of Kung Fu and Tai Chi. I have been practicing under the supervision of Sifu Jensen for over five years and I have been practicing Tai Chi for many years and have done other movement arts such as yoga and dance. Tai Chi is a basic practice for me as it brings benefits to my overall health, and specifically helps my nervous system. The practice involves long and expansive movements opening and closing the joints. It helps me to lower and sink and balance my hips. The form that Sifu Jensen teaches is a long yang style. This long yang style is traditional (it has not been simplified) and is interesting to do. I also do a Tai Chi sword form. The sword form incorporates many balancing poses which helps my mind relax. I have been doing and enjoying the Xing Yi forms and practices. Xing Yi is move vigorous but is an internal art like Tai Chi. Xing translates as form or shape and Yi translates as intention or mind. The practice involves unifying the body and mind in movement so is more subtle than it appears. I also have learned and practice some of the kung fu forms taught at the school, including other sword forms. These are also vigorous and grounding and help keep me vital and focused. The movement practices support my meditation practices, both standing and sitting, which are very important to me (the movement practices strengthen, balance, and stabilize the body, which supports mental acuity and overall relaxation). The 10,000 Victories School retains a traditional approach to training, which is not common, and is comprehensive specific to Northern Shaolin and related martial arts and forms. I enjoy the authenticity of the school and the dedication of the Sifu, Scott Jensen and recommend it to anyone interested in any of these arts if one is looking for authentic teachings and committed practice.

I came to study Martial Arts with Scott Jensen to heal a severe injury. I had been on heavy painkillers and had many neurological problems along with chronic pain and had what they call "Thorasic Outlet Syndrome". I was also disabled from my previous occupation. I was recommended by my chiropractor who said "The Only thing I know of that might heal you is training with Scott Jensen. You need to learn new ways to use and move your upper body".

I began slowly and within several weeks the pain and numbness in my hands and arms and shoulders began to dissipate. Today I am without any pain or numbness unless I exacerbate my old injury. I can now say I don't need any more painkillers! I don't even have to see the chiropractor anymore. My neurologist said when he saw me a few years after my initial evaluation "The only thing I can offer you is pain control. About 85% of my patients with your problem are on heavy pain medications and it gets worse. Whatever you are doing you'd better continue since I have not seen anyone recover in this way."

Not only was I out of pain and numbness but I had improved my overall health, flexibility and quality of life!!. I can't thank Scott enough for my turnaround. This of course took time and patience to begin to integrate all that I had learned into a daily practice. I can't thank Scott enough for giving me the tools to heal my body. I recommend anyone who wants to feel energized and begin to improve their flexibility, balance and heal their body Join Scott's Classes.

Blessings JT

Five years ago, while our daughter was expecting our first granddaughter, the Husband and I decided we needed to do something to ensure our being able to keep up with our grands.
For a long time we had heard about the benefits of Tai Chi.

We feel unbelievably fortunate that we were connected to Sifu Scott Jensen. We have taken lessons from him (with some time off during Covid) for five years. We added Qi Gong classes a year ago.

We couldn't be happier with Sifu Jensen's supportive, patient and encouraging teaching methods. His explanation of purpose, techniques and knowledge of the workings of the body are unmatched. His wife Rachel adds an incredibly graceful and welcoming presence.

My physician was thrilled to know that I participate in the practice of these beautiful martial arts. He said it is the best thing I could do to improve my bone density as I age.

We have benefited greatly from these gentle, but effective workouts. We have improved our body tone, posture, mindfulness and joint movement. Our balance has improved greatly.

We look forward to going to our classes twice a week and being part of this community. And most importantly, we can keep up with our granddaughters!
