I have been a martial artist since I was 5 years old (30+ yrs), so I have studied in many schools,…read morewith many different instructors, in a few different states. I can honestly say this is one of my favorite schools. It is a great community - everyone treats you like family. It is refreshing to find a place like this in such a big city. It really feels like one big family. This is a direct reflection of the senior instructor - Sensei Kai. A beautiful soul with much love and knowledge to share. And a deep, DEEP understanding of the art and it's many traditions. It is a great school for any age, and any ability level. ALL the teachers are great and understand how to work with everyone. For those of you with a competitive streak - I don't know what they put in the water over there at this school, but the number of national champions they pump out is ridiculous!! In all seriousness, Sensei Kai has such a deep understanding for the art, he is truly a great teacher and knows how to pass this knowledge on. There is so much talent in the building, at any given class, you can't help but sit in awe watching some of these kids. And what generous, humble people. It really is a beautiful school. I am lucky to have found it. My only complaint is I can't make it to classes enough.

Would recommend to any family that wants to start their child (or themselves) at a traditional karate/martial school with a strong foundation.

Sempai Elena is truly a gifted instructor--challenges the kids a lot but always makes it fun.

I really love this Kickboxing Studio. They only reason I am not going here anymore TBH is because…read moreof the scheduling conflict with my work. Pros: + Staff is amazing and understanding + Great lessons + Intense work outs + Great community + Convenient location + Multiple levels for membership (ranging from 1x per week, 2x per week and unlimited) Additional Considerations: Please keep these in mind, because I think this studio may not be the best fit for everyone. - Locker rooms to change, but no showers - Each class is about 45 min (compared to some other ILK studios that do about 60 mini classes) - This studio is located inside the Rego Park Jewish Center. This means that they studio cannot be open during the Sabath (I.e. Friday evenings and all day Saturday). In addition, they also cannot hold class during the Jewish holidays. In spite of this, they do hold several classes in the am and later in the evenings Monday-Thursday and on Friday/Sunday mornings. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

DO NOT SIGN UP ON THE FIRST DAY!!!!! its a trick, they just want to lock you into a contract/…read morepayment plan. Definitely take the rest of your groupon or introductory classes before you sign anything. After my first class, and barely breaking a sweat, i made the stupid mistake of signing the contract on the promise that i was going to get a better workout in subsequent classes. I made the HUGE mistake of signing up on the first day for 35 classes that cost 3 payments of $150 (THANK GOD I didnt sign a contract for 6 months or a year). So now im stuck paying for something that is not worth $150. I wouldve rather gotten a full membership at equinox for what the price is here. Not saying all ilovekickboxing locations arent good, just this one probably isnt the better of the queens locations.

This is going to be an excellent review, but before I tell you why I hold this place in high esteem, let me give you some background. I'm in my 30s, overweight, sedentary, and not used to being around "workout culture", if you know what I mean. I was nervous that I wouldn't really fit in, that I would be left behind in the dust of others who are physically fitter than I, and didn't really know what to expect. However, everyone here is extremely friendly and supportive - not just the staff, who are amazing and knowledgeable, but also the students. The instructors are patient, personable and provide great motivation without shaming you. The workouts are fun and well thought-out. This is more expensive than a gym membership, but it is also so much more rewarding. You really feel like you're part of a family when you train here, and, as for me, I am motivated to keep coming back! They also have classes for kids, and from what I've seen (I'm not a parent but have caught the tail end of some classes before my workout), the kids look like they're having an awesome time!
