    I have two teenage boys (a senior and a freshmen in high school) that have been training with…read moreSensei Mac since they were each about 4 years old. They are continuing their Shukokai journey at the Pearl River dojo, currently getting ready for a World Tournament in South Africa. Each of my boys has benefitted from their training with Sensei Mac in ways that every parent would want to have their child learn. Sensei Mac has given them the confidence and strength of character that they would not have had, if they were not exposed to his tutelage and the experiences the Kimura Shukokai Karate has exposed them to. While there may be other places in and near Pearl River, NY that teach martial arts, none can come close to providing the opportunity that is afforded by this internationally affiliated community that feels like family. Sensei Mac has developed many World Champions, of which my older son became one in 2012. Yet, I treasure that achievement less than the extended family attachment that my children have found in the Pearl River, NY dojo. As a parent, I could not recommend more the Shukokai Karate Center in Pearl River, NY to everyone - young and old.

    The Mac Albus Shukokai Karate Center in Pearl River NY is something very special in the sea of…read moremartial arts centers. Grading of belts is earned by the student and there are no contracts. Regional and international competitions are available to all students ( every age group) with a very high success rate but mastering the art of Shukokai Karate is at the core of Shihan Mac's teaching style. It's a way of life as well as a great workout.

    I had just realized that my daughter, a new kindergartner, was getting home from school full of…read moreenergy and needed a constructive outlet for it. I hadn't given it any serious thought yet when I came across an advertisement for Elite Chinese Martial Arts Academy in a glossy circular I was leafing through as I ate a bowl of cereal. Why not call and find out what it's all about? I left a message and got a call back quickly and was invited to come let my daughter try a Tiger Team class (for the pre-K through early elementary ages) to see what we thought. My daughter loved it, and still loves it two months later, three times a week. Elite Chinese Martial Arts Academy is, as the name says, a Chinese martial arts school. Kung fu, tai chi, Chinese kickboxing, and weapons training for adults are all part of the curriculum. There are classes all through the week for young kids (Tiger Team), juniors (older elementary through teens), and adults. Sifu Reynolds, who operates the school and teaches the Tiger Team classes on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, is a young man himself and the kind of All-American good guy you feel you could naturally count on to do the right thing in a crisis. (Sifu, I learned, is a Chinese word meaning master and is a title of respect for a student's kung fu teacher.) Beginning students can join in from their first class. Sifu Reynolds makes sure to give every student the necessary attention for them to assimilate and advance. Everybody learns (even the parents watching) and all the kids have fun. The Tiger Team classes are only 30 minutes long, but wow! do they ever accomplish a lot in that time. They warm up, stretch, and do some strengthening exercises like push-ups and sit-ups. New students quickly learn common exercises like the Monks' Punching Drill and Punch, Palm, Hook. Over the course of a couple months, students learn a full set of stances, blocks, punches, kicks, and defensive maneuvers like how to escape from grabs and holds. In addition to general fitness and kung fu skill building, Sifu Reynolds very thoughtfully and effectively teaches the children respect for their peers and adults, self confidence, discipline, concentration and focus, and good manners in social situations. I feel like we're getting a lot more out of this program than we ever expected, and it's totally affordable. My daughter has made a lot of progress in just two months. She's much more focused and coordinated now than before we started. Knowing what I know now, if it ever came down to a choice between keeping my cable service or continuing at ECMA, I'd cancel the cable in a heartbeat. Other details, let's see ... There's a seating area for friends and relatives to watch classes. Uniforms are provided. They offer a deal where the whole family can join the school for a fairly small incremental price over the cost of a single person (my daughter is begging me to start classes). There are social events sometimes, like the kung fu Halloween party for kids coming up my daughter is so excited about. They sometimes have free public workshops like keeping safe from bullies, and paid workshops like Hsing-I Chinese mind-body boxing (no idea what that is, to be honest). There are other martial arts schools in the area teaching other styles, and no doubt many of them are also very good. But before there was anything else, there was kung fu. And this particular school of kung fu has been a great benefit to my little girl. An added bonus for us is it's right around the corner from where we live. Couldn't be happier.

    ECMA in Pomona NY has been a blessing for me over the years, keeping me in tip top shape while…read moreteaching me life saving techniques if I were to find my self confronted by violent situations. Everyone there is kind and courteous, setting the standard of mutual respect between students. It is this atmosphere that has made Shaolin Kung Fu my favorite martial art form. Tai Chi is also available at ECMA 3 times a week, and a variety of seminars in Kempo, Suai Jiao, Hsing I, Wing Chun and many more to help round out your practice.
