The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable and thoughtful. Their teaching of technique as well as principle, thorough. In my experience, they run the school as an actual institution of learning, taking a keen interest in their students' lives/goals, and making their approach to teaching truly holistic. Physically and mentally I'm in the best place I've ever been. People who have known me for years have commented on how differently I carry myself these days. I highly recommend this training for anyone who is looking for a change, a community, or a way to grow.

You will also improve: - the health of your joints - your posture and balance - the control of your breathing as part of this moving meditation. I would kindly suggest taking one hour class daily or weekly with Mr. Stephen Wing. Stephen has been teaching Tai-Chi for fifteen years. He has been giving Tai-Chi classes five times per week. Stephen has also years of Kung-Fu practice. This teacher has been consistently patient and encouraging. As it is the case for running, Tai-Chi can be practice everywhere and with minimal gear. A pair of flat shoes with thin soles and you can rejuvenate...It is practical if you were on a business trip for example. Moreover, Tai-Chi is a low-impact sport.

I can't believe I spent so many years wasting time on boring ellipticals that hardly garner any results. Now I'm stronger than ever and have a great time doing it.

I signed up to take six weeks of classes and it was generally alright for my first couple of clases. I didn't enjoy having to set up the mats and move everything out of the way due to the space we were working with but I'm a team player so I went with it. When it came to learning, there were certain fundamentals I was having issues with. One of them is a forward roll -- almost like a somersault but you tuck your head in a particular way and roll on your shoulder. I did not grasp how to do what I was supposed to do. I asked for help. I asked for more help. I was given the same instructions repeatedly. I just needed to know where to put my body so I did this right. I'm not a small person so I was concerned for my own safety. Despite being uncomfortable with what I was doing, I relented and did what I thought was a forward roll..what's the worst that could happen? The noise my shoulder made sounded like a bag of ritz crackers being stepped on. The pain grew substantially hours after that. I emailed with the Sensei, Heather, about my issue and she wrote me back. Twice, calling me the wrong students name. When my shoulder was still in massive pain a week later, I pulled the plug and emailed Heather that I wasn't coming back and wished I'd received proper instruction. I heard nothing back. Not even an I'm sorry. Months went by and then I got a LinkedIn connection request last week. Save yourself the trouble and do not give this organization your time or money or you will regret it.

I moved to Boston a little over a year ago. I continue to travel back to CT once or twice a week…read moreto teach and train at my home martial arts studio. I've missed having a community in Boston, so I decided to try this school. Aikido is related to one of the arts I practice (Hapkido) and I have always wanted more time to explore the Aikido side of the art form. I registered online and left a message saying I was coming in for a trial class. The Sensei was late which given the snow storm last week is understandable. What followed, I cannot explain. I was never welcomed by Sensei Randolph, not during or after class. She never asked about my previous training, how I found class or if I was interested in returning. I have trained in the martial arts for nearly 10 years and have never felt so unwelcomed in another school as I did here. In our school if we had a visiting student of any rank from another school or art form, we actually would stop and inquire. We would ask about their training, level of comfort and experience. It is just a simple code across art forms, especially with a visiting black belt of which I am one. I am an easy going human being who is genuinely curious about other martial art forms and absolutely do not subscribe to the competition that my art form is the better one. I genuinely think Aikido would have been an awesome addition to my current training. In addition, I found the style of instruction to be stiff, unclear and unfocused. I didn't find it to be physically safe either. I can see exactly how another reviewer was seriously injured and did not receive any follow up or even basic care and concern. Please train in a martial art, try Aikido or any other art that suits you, but do it at a school that is safe, inspiring, and holistic. Do not train here. I do not say that lightly.

I took a chance and emailed Kink and within minutes I got the warmest reply welcoming me in. Modifications are never an afterthought here; they're offered with intention. I never feel singled out and I am included in every class exactly as I am. I started my journey by taking private lessons with Foetini (highly recommend). After my very first group class, she hugged me and told me how proud she was of me. Sarah, the owner, has personally emailed me after class to celebrate my progress on tough movements. Marissa knows to adjust the foot bar and put the foot strap on for me without having to ask. When I began taking her classes, Marissa always checked in after to make sure I felt comfortable and supported. I never knew a place like this could actually exist. Be forewarned, when you come to Kink, you're joining more than just a Pilates studio. You don't just get stronger but become apart of a community of badass people who root for your success.
