Its been a few years since taking our last class in Johnstown. We've moved twice, first to NYC then…read moreto rural Vermont, and have not found any kind of training opportunities that come close in terms of quality or value. The way AZDK teaches is a well proven model. Students learn to be patient and respectful as a starting point. They learn to focus on the task at hand and to work well with others so that everyone in the group improves. Most important of all, they learn to be honest with themselves. They learn to appreciate standards. They learn and how established performance criteria do help them to work harder than they would otherwise to achieve their goals. No student is pushed through to levels beyond their abilities. No student is held back by anything other than themselves. Students are actively encouraged to compete, not only in tournaments and within the their local school, but most of all with themselves. As time passes in training and the instructors get to know their students each student is taught based upon their Their program was started by Sensei (Japanese word meaning teacher) Campos who spent a career as a professional educator. Some of the best memories we have are road trips with Senseis Camos and D'Amico to different martial arts conventions and seminars to expand our own understandings of what works and how to faithfully incorporate the good into a greater whole. When you sign a child up for a program at AZDK, you are introducing him or her to what will in time become very much a new extended family. Like any family AZDK members will cheer them on to success, but not hesitate a moment to point out and help work to overcome any shortcomings. It's what families do. Oh and Moms and Dads out there, If you start training too, you will be far better informed and able to help your child progress.

My daughter has been going to American Zen do Kai for the past three years now. I can't say enough…read moreabout the training she has received so far. She has excelled and looks forward to the classes each week. Aside from teaching martial arts, Zen Do Kai teaches numerous important life values, such as respect, perseverance, loyalty, trustworthiness, and kindness. I see her using these values in and out of the dojo. Learning martial arts is an invaluable part of our daughter's life, and deciding on Zen Do Kai as her dojo was the smartest decision we could have ever made! I recommend them to any one who asks, and even some who don't

My son, 9, is active and athletic. Every year, we have been sending him for different sport…read moreactivities, such as baseball, soccer, basketball, swimming, ... Most of the time, he was passive about the training. I've never thought Wushu is "his thing" until one day he visited CMAA. He has been so dedicated to the sport that he doesn't want to miss any training - very much proactive. As the result, he has excelled well and won gold medals in recent regional and national competitions. I have been trying to figure out the "hooks." First of all, the amazing coach. Lucas is the owner and instructor. He's Caucasian, but he knows Chinese martial arts no less than Chines athletes. He studied in China for a few years and is able to read the Kong Fu code book that most Chinese could not even comprehend. Above all, he knows how to teach. He motivates not pushing. He paces each student's progress based on individual readiness. He not only teaches moves, but ethics and discipline. My son constantly paraphrases the words Lucas uses, like "early is on-time, on-time is late, and late is unacceptable...""virtuosity is doing common things uncommonly well..." The training facility is new (a year and half) and tastefully decorated. The schedule is flexible and you can find proper time slots easier than many other schools. The students there are also amazing. My son is friend with almost every student; some of them are years older. In class, they help each other. After school, they are buddies. Considering after almost a year training at CMAA, my son is still so crazy about Wushu, Lucas must be doing something right!

I started training in Tai Chi at a later point in my life. What I've found is that tai chi…read moreenhances most aspects of my daily life. Specifically, my balance and coordination have improved allowing me to do other sports with more confidence and success. My other sports include cycling and skiing. In addition, the Qigong practice helps me with calmness, clear thinking and patience as I go through each day. I highly recommend the Chinese Martial Arts Academy because of the experience, caring and kindness of the people who provide teaching there. It is a very friendly and homey environment for all.
