The school is fairly small and individual attention is given to all students. Every class is lead and overseen by Shifu Hengxin, Shimu Arlene, or in most cases by both. What I noticed right away when I began training at the SKFTC is that Shifu Hengxin has no interest in convincing you, or selling you on his martial arts practice. There are no frills or exciting welcomes when walking into the school.. it's simply a matter of getting to work. To me this was refreshing, and says a lot about the sincerity Shifu has in his teaching, and the type of students he wants to acquire. The vibe is true, the vibe is authentic, those who are interested can stay, those who are not can leave. It sounds cold but I think in reality it is a warm and genuine way to teach. No student receives praise, you never hear "great job!", and your always asked to do more. They treat every student the same, which keeps everyone humble and connected.. not divided. Trying the free introductory class at the SKFTC was the best decision I have made in a long time. Being a student has revitalized me, and brought so much more balance into my life. The classes are very demanding and Shifu and Shimu work together to bring the best out of every student. This place has become a second home for me and will continue to be for a long time. p.s. Read the filtered reviews. You can find them in the bottom left of the page. Yelp needs to relax with the censoring. What's the point of having a review site if you can't leave a review???

    I love this place! I've been coming here for Practical Wing Chun Kung Fu for almost two years, and…read moreI have to say the atmosphere here is like a second home to me. The instructors here are amazing! Sifu Kwok has an attentiveness to detail that seems rare in today's distracted world, and his dedication to the success of his students, paired with a very organized and structured curriculum, creates an atmosphere conducive to optimized learning. As his standards are high, it naturally follows that everyone teaching at the school is very knowledgeable, patient, friendly, and fantastic at imparting their knowledge. The school truly embodies its mottos, "Improvement of Mind and Body", "Ethical Self-Conduct", and "Unity Among Members" which are printed across the top beams of the dojo where people entering can easily read them. It is emphasized that one should use their heads when practicing self-defense. This flows into conducting oneself ethically, and learning what amount of force is necessary to mitigate a potential threat (learning that, perhaps, it isn't necessary to break this person's arm and blind him/her, maybe I can just put my arms up non-threateningly and say "Sorry! [Didn't mean to bump you]!", or even, "Get away from me!"). Ethical self-conduct also falls in line with Unity Among Members in that there is a strong emphasis within the school that the fellow students are your training partners: treat them with respect, both inside and outside the classroom. The classes are all mixed-level, and within the curriculum, everyone is encouraged to work with one another, whether a first-day beginner to a seasoned, 10-year practitioner. Because the school and its members are collectively interested in each individual's improvement and learning, this creates a safe space that fosters empathy for everyone. As for the physical setting, GMA has a nice front lobby for checking in/ collecting your attendance card, clean facilities for the changing rooms (one room for male, one for female). The dojo itself has nice padded floors, as well as the walls with many mirrors on 2 sides to check your stances-- all of which allow for a very helpful learning environment! All in all, I highly recommend this place!

If you want to learn from the best, try Master Kwok's class. His students are friendly, and no egos are welcome. It's a great atmosphere and a great learning opportunity to learn practical wing chun.

The (volunteer) Kung Fu Masters are paying forward a priceless gift bequeathed them (& to countless others) by Grandmaster Alan Lee, himself a figure of unquestionable international repute atop the martial arts world. The boot-camp style old-school physical workout would (admittedly) challenge an 18 y/o marine recruit (I know, I was one half-century ago), but the lessons in breathing, form, and movement have improved my bearing, overall confidence, health awareness, and inner strength. "Fighting" is 10% of Kung Fu, mental and physical health being the main goal. Most priceless of all, students are allowed to attend the rare Sunday afternoon health lectures offered by (92 years old) world renowned Grandmaster Lee as he shares 3000 years of Chinese martial arts & health wisdom accumulated by his 8 decades + of vigorous research, pursuit, and practice. IMHO this "once-in-a-lifetime" (albeit under-the-radar) treasure to be VIGOROUSLY pursued by anyone seeking an alternative to doctors, drugs, and expensive "gyms".

I tried out everyplace that offered judo in the city and wasn't happy. Almost giving up on finding the perfect dojo, I decided to pop into Kokushi Budo. It was an incredible first day and every day since has only gotten better. They were so welcoming. I was greeted by Sensei Andy who showed me the ropes and made sure I felt welcome and comfortable. He answered all of my questions and really helped me connect with the dojo. Sensei Shintaro Higashi is an unmatched Judoka in skill and finesse. He's an amazing teacher who all of us admire and can really look up to. I can honestly say that I feel safer in the streets of NYC from what I have learned from Sensei and everyone else at Kokushi. As my schedule allows, I sometimes make it early to class and wait as the kid's program finishes. Andy and Shintaro are easily the the best Sensei's I have ever seen with young people - they're outstanding role models and you can see how much they care for their students. KBI is not just a dojo, it's a family who cares about the success and well being of ALL its members. And that my friends is priceless.
