My son joined Litma when he was 4, and now at 8, it’s been an incredible journey! He’s absolutely thrived doing Kung Fu, loving the discipline, focus, and strength it brings. The instructors at Litma have been fantastic, nurturing his growth and teaching him valuable life lessons like perseverance and respect. Kung Fu has boosted his confidence and energy, and we are truly loving the results.

We took admission for our daughter, Nitya, under Kung Fu Master Alex, and it has been a truly wonderful experience. What impressed me the most is that Alex Sir focuses far more on building the character of children than just teaching martial arts techniques. Discipline, respect, confidence, and self-control are clearly his top priorities.
In fact, I was so impressed by Alex Sir’s teaching and values that I personally took admission with him for a couple of months. Unfortunately, I couldn’t continue due to time constraints while managing family commitments. However, if I get another chance in the future, I will definitely join Alex Sir again without any second thoughts.
We feel grateful to have found such a dedicated mentor for Nitya and highly recommend Alex Sir to anyone looking for quality training with strong values.
My daughter is with LITMA since she was in grade 4, she is having an amazing experience with LITMA!!! The instructors are super supportive, and the training has boosted my daughters confidence and decipline at a very high-level… Martial Arts has been a game changer to her, she has learned self-defense techniques, improved her focus and built a strong sense of community. The instructors here are well experienced who makes the classes engaging for all levels.
Master Alexander Fernandes is the founder of Life Institute of Tai-Chi and Martial Arts (LITMA) who has a teaching experience for over 35yrs… we as parents feel safe to send our kids to learn and practice under his guidance… Kids are really blessed to be with him…

LITMA is an incredible space for growth. Alexander Fernandez Sir and his team don’t just teach Tai Chi and martial arts; they teach discipline, values, and confidence. The instructors trained under his guidance are a perfect reflection of his professionalism.
My daughter has grown so much physically and mentally since joining. It’s a positive, inspiring environment where the focus is not just on becoming a better athlete but also a better person.
Dear Alex sir,
We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for your dedication and efforts in training our daughter (Sarah Dsouza). When she first joined, she was extremely scared and hesitant to continue. She would often cry and was unsure if martial arts was for her. However, your constant motivation, patience, and the special attention you gave her made all the difference. You made her feel comfortable, welcomed, and believed in her when she herself was unsure.
Over the past three years, we have seen remarkable changes in her. Not only has she grown stronger physically, but she has also developed discipline, confidence, and the courage to accept challenges. The values you have instilled—hard work, perseverance, and a never-give-up attitude—are clearly reflected in her behaviour.
We also see a positive impact in her overall development. she has become more caring, supportive, compassionate, and confident, and it has helped her perform better in other sports as well. Most importantly, she is growing into a good human being with strong values.
Thank you Sir, for your guidance, encouragement, and belief in her. We are truly grateful for the role you have played in shaping her journey.
With sincere thanks,
Pragati Dsouza
