    It's a great place to learn and while everybody is serious about Aikido there, they're super-friendly, too.

    Love training at Qi Tao. I arrived as a total tai chi newbie, and Sifu Tzyann started me with the…read morefundamentals (posture, the "tai chi walk," breathing), which was fun in itself, and then quickly started me on my first form. Alongside an all-ages group of welcoming students, I was able to learn the 24-move form, the 40, and the beautiful sword form. The forms are like calming, moving meditations I can settle back into whenever I'm feeling tense or anxious. Sifu is caring and attentive - she takes tai chi seriously but not herself, and she loves to crack a joke.

    Granted, it's been some time since I've been there, but i recall wanting to find out more about…read morethis school since it was only a few blocks from my home in the Slope (this is when they were at their old location on 7th Avenue.) Sad to say, the phrase "you never get a second chance to make a first impression" rings true. I walked down the stairs hoping for a welcoming greeting and someone who could answer questions. What I recieved was an indifferent stare from a woman who pointed me towards the wall with the class schedule and information, who then went back to whatever she was reading. I walked back up the stairs and tossed the brochure in the trash at the first corner garbage can. For the sake of their other students, hopefully their customer service has improved. Or perhaps they're following the "36 Chambers of Shaolin" style of recruitment, where one has to walk across a barrel bobbing in water to be accepted.

    I only took one trial class here, but I got a really good first impression. There were two Shifus…read more(teachers). They taught some basic ideas about self defense which immediately just made sense to me. They taught some really good techniques to block punches, as well as different ways to throw punches and kicks (which are not what I'd naturally do). They had good mats, equipment, and protective gear to practice these techniques on other people (and I think that's important, as I don't believe that just practicing punching thin air is enough to help train yourself for a real fight situation). They also went over basic ways to try to calm situations down and try to avoid fights. It's a fairly small class (less than 15 students, I think) so you get a lot of individual attention. They were very clear and polite. I decided not to sign up for two reasons: 1. The prices were more than I personally could comfortably afford at this time (I don't wish to state the precise price here, myself, if it's not posted on their web site). 2. They have a rule that all students are required to wear masks at all times during practice. And although I respect caution for Covid, I personally feel that I need the freedom to breathe to the fullest whenever I'm exercising. But I otherwise loved this place a lot. I regret that those two above factors kept me from joining.

    I am so grateful to have found Brooklyn Wing Tsun. Sifu Ethan is a wonderful teacher who has…read morecreated a challenging and supportive environment. This school is also a part of the City Wing Tsun association which means you have the opportunity to interact with a large community of teachers and students from around the city. If you are thinking about learning a martial art or are just curious about Wing Tsun you should not hesitate to come by.

    I've been training at Grey's for almost 5 months and its been great! I go consistently twice a week…read moreand have definitely started to see improvement in terms of muscle development, strength and weight-loss. At the moment I am only doing 30 min sessions and although they are quick, they are fast-paced and effective (i.e. I now have a butt!) Like a few other commenters, I supplement my training with other activities like walking/running, etc. I could probably benefit from class pass or something else, but at the moment my schedule is only really suited for a twice a week thing. That being said, if you're like me and can only do this training as your means of working out, you WILL still see great improvements. I also do love the solo sessions verse being around other people who are watching you sweat and grunt in weird positions...unless you're into that.

    The gym is small but well maintained and has solid equipment. And the trainers that I had: Brad…read morethen Charles were both great. So you might be wondering, why the two stars? The owner. He churns through trainers like nobody's business. He went through at least 6 of them in the 15 months I worked out there. There was a point at which he got into a dispute with the landlord of the building that resulted in a cease and desist from the city for failure to have proper permitting. I'm told it was over a leak that had not been fixed, and indeed for at least 6 months, there has been a jury-rigged funnel and tube to deal with a leak coming from the apartment above. Despite the owner, I enjoyed the trainers and continued working out there twice a week until I moved.
