    This gym is amazing and has changed my life. Everyone is so polite and welcoming from the front…read moredesk to the coaches. I mainly attend the jiujitsu classes and have felt a difference both in my body and my mindset. Each month the class focuses on a position and what can be done in that position. It is hard work but if you put in the hard work it is really rewarding. All of these bad reviews seem unwarranted because they focus on individuals who seemingly try to break contracts. Contracts exist for a reason. If you are even slightly interested I would highly recommend attending. They also have classes for children. When my little one is old enough I hope to enroll him as well. The other day I was watching the advanced adult jiujitsu class and there was a moment the children's class came into the same area to get water. All of the advanced class stopped and clapped for a kid who had gotten a new belt. An mma coach was also making small talk with all the kids and you could tell how encouraged the kids felt. If you are patient, like to work hard and are a consistent person, join. If you are not sure, try their free trial. If you are wishy washy (which is fine if that works for you) then this gym probably is not for you. I have seen people of all ages, shapes, sizes, and experience levels in this gym. They all leave class with a smile on their face. Also shoutout to coach Chris and coach Southside!

    Made this account just to leave this joke place a bad review…read more Went there about 2 months ago while visiting Maryland, and this place could not be more of a joke. Not only did they not allow me to open mat, they also have insane cancellation fees and prey on innocent people who just want to train. Quite frankly you would be better off training in an alleyway outside of a bar, because it would be more inclusive and less predatory, and at least then you probably wouldn't get robbed of 600$.

    This is a school that teaches Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu under Sifu Shannon Moore, disciple of…read moreGrandmaster William Cheung (disciple of Grandmaster Ip Man). I've practiced martial arts (Karate, Taekwondo, and Wushu) for about a total of 10 years, so i've been around several different schools and Masters and Sifus. Sifu Shannon Moore teaches traditional, practical, and sport aspects of Wing Chun. Very knowledgeable and experienced as one would know from just listening and conversing with him. Sifu Shannon Moore takes great pride in providing hands on training and development with his students as opposed to some other schools i have been to where the senior students primarily teach. You may ask... well what the heck is this Wing Chun mumbo jumbo. How is it any different from other martial art styles that also teach self-defense? Wing Chun is an amazing and beautiful kung fu style different from many of today's popular styles, such as Karate, Taekwondo, and Shaolin kung fu. While these styles may focus on blocking first and then attacking, Wing Chun teaches well-coordinated angular defense and simultaneous attack, operating on the center line, not drawing back (windup) before striking; instead striking from any position. This both increases the speed and eliminates the telegraphing of the strike. Using structure of the entire body to create power in a small space. This way, in the time it takes a student of another style to throw one or two punches, a Wing Chun student will throw at least nine. This system relies on biomechanics, not brute force and is a scientific yet theoretically based martial arts style focusing on close-range combat. Wing Chun is based on the concepts and principles of simplicity, economy of movement, and economy of energy. This art is a true internal and external system designed so you can learn the system in 3-5 years. It is a science in motion that is simple yet explosive. Bear in mind, i said learn the system in 3-5 years. Mastering is a whole other story. =) Anyone who is interested the martial arts, especially Wing Chun, should definitely come check it out. Sifu Shannon Moore even offers a FREE first introductory class so anyone interested can get their feet wet. I came, i tried, and now i'm hooked. Check it out for yourself! Keep that Wu Sao up! You'll learn what that means, one way or another. =)

    Master Moore has a wealth of knowledge and is comfortable sharing it with his students. No…read morepressure or sales tactics, just a master with a clear understanding of the art he teaches in full and a friendly and accomodating group of fellow students. It is easy to fall in love with Wing Chun, and I highly recommend it and the instructor to give you a fuller understanding in your martial arts journey. As Master Moore would say, "Keep your Wu Sao up"...
