I have been taking Brazillian Jiu Jitsu classes at Sun Dojo for about 6 months now. There is so…read moremuch to this place! Community - This is a very welcoming dojo. I was super intimidated before joining but once I worked up the nerve, what I found was a group of positive, friendly people who are here to learn, to get better at Jiu Jitsu and at life. Many people who train here have recommended it to friends or family, or Windsor Terrace neighbors, and there really is a community feel to it. Teachers - It's a special thing to find teachers who can meet you where you are, be supportive and patient, but who also push you to do better, show up for yourself, set big goals and put in 100%. Different instructors have different styles, but all are all great at breaking down complicated techniques, while encouraging you to think deeper about why something works. Everyone gets equal guidance during class. As a beginner, you will be helped, not ignored. Fitness (physical/mental) - Jiu Jitsu is a very challenging workout and it WILL improve your fitness. Classes include intense bursts or agility drills and you will sweat and your heart will pump! But it engages your mind as well as your body. You start to think about things like anatomy and leverage and gravity (even if you don't yet know how to put it all together). No treadmill workout is going to give you that. Heart - Sun Dojo encourages you to take the principals you learn on the mat into the rest of your life. What could you do with more self-knowledge, courage, discipline, less ego and a healthier body? I know I want to find out! Special shout to Professor Laurel who was my first contact at Sun Dojo and who really helped (and still helps!) to ease me into things.

Very happy I joined. My experience (as a beginner) has been overwhelming positive. Big thanks to…read moreProf. Carroll and the community of instructors + students for being so welcoming during my first few weeks at the dojo. Looking forward to more. The basic classes are gentle (i.e. you won't get injured), but challenging enough to improve overall fitness and to make some widely applicable self-defense techniques second-nature to the students. An unexpected benefit at Sun Dojo is the attendance of some advanced students in the basic classes (advanced classes typically follow basic classes on the schedule, so the basic classes probably serve as a refresher for the advanced students). The benefit to beginners like me is that we often get to partner with some seasoned (and patient) people who are already comfortable with the techniques, and often help reinforce the correct way to practice.

Some facts about me for background: I am moody and can get super cranky, I was never athletic, I'm…read morenot even coordinated enough to tie my shoes the right way (I still do double-bunny ears, whatever, it gets the job done). Basically, I'm a joy to be around and clearly destined for the Olympics someday. Or whatever the complete and total opposite of that is. That said, I still am able to enjoy, push, and be proud of myself here. The instructors' patience will probably get them canonized someday, and the students are all really supportive and friendly, so it makes it a lot less nerve-wracking for beginners. The school is also really involved with the community and everyone seems invested in making the world at least a slightly better place. The instructors will work with you and whatever limitations you may have. Trust me. I have plenty. And thanks to BBJJ, I now also have sick abs and can throw my much larger boyfriend around a bit better when he acts out.

Here's the deal. The teachers were great - especially Miss Parish who is excellent with the kids…read more(and quite cute and knowledgeable to boot) - but I feel we were misdirected by the management. We signed our 8 yr old son up for the "Junior Basic" class because he's a kid but what we didn't know at the time was that meant he would learn a VERY limited number of techniques (limited enough to bore the crap out of him in just a few months) and that they'd attempt to up-sell us very quickly. When we signed up we were under the impression he would be in the Junior Basic class for closer to a year at least. Now, because of our busy schedules our son didn't go very often per week (maybe 2x per week and not every week) so clearly he had a lot more practice and classes to go to. Yet within about 3-4 months they were not only trying to up-sell us but asked our son, "Would you like to be a black belt some day?" (Who says "No" to this question?) and followed that up by explaining that he would never get one unless he upgraded to a more advanced class for more money. Even my son was very disappointed by this and personally felt mislead by the school (never mind us). So he got bored with the limited techniques and since the school now left a bad taste in his mouth he quit. He stopped wanting to go. Nice going BBJJ! Not just my wife and I, but even my 8 yr old son left feeling wronged. There was also a vibe of constantly trying to get more people to join (bring your friend day for instance - they have a lot of these types of things) to an already full school with over-packed classes. Another thing they do which is strange is they give the kids belt credit by how many classes they go to. After each class they get a stripe for going and x-amount of stripes equals advancement. Now I'm sure this is just a technique to keep the kids excited but it is a far cry from what I experienced when I took martial arts. It didn't matter how often I went - it mattered if I could correctly perform the techniques taught. I was tested for my belts. I didn't just get one for showing up 10-20x. So sadly, I cannot recommend this school since they seem more concerned with numbers than technique. It is unfortunate to say the least.

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.
