Master Sonny Le has infused very refined and skilled techniques into the art of Kung Fu. Disciples of the Academy are actively engaging their physical bodies while grasping mental concepts such as deeper concentration, critical thinking and coordination between the mind and body. Throughout my time under the teachings of Master Sonny Le, I have developed a better sense of my strengths, abilities and self-confidence. The Academy provides a welcoming environment with other students which recognizes our weaknesses in order to overcome them, encouragement to keep us moving forward and the knowledge necessary in order to achieve our own personal goals. My time at North York Kung Fu Academy has enabled me to fulfill my own ambitions and I have successfully completed the Single Kung Fu nunchuku (Shao Zi Gun) and am currently pursuing the intermediate level for the Kung Fu nunchaku and Wing Chun self-defense system.

When we met, he was humble and had an air of wisdom, but clearly wasn't someone you would want to mess with. He was down to earth and down to business, no bull, I really liked that. After a few months of training, I realized why so many people quit traditional martial arts. It pits you against your own ego. The dojo doesn`t have fancy rings or aisles of clothing, it is a place of the way, as humble and strong as the master who calls it home. There were no 10 page contracts or $1600 fees. This was the real deal. I spent nearly 2 years searching all over Toronto and Vaughan for a traditional teacher and school that embodied the spirit of martial arts. One who would do justice to the forefathers of Karate and Kung-Fu, and one who I would proudly call my Sensei. For me that search is over. I will be a Zen Warrior until the day I die. I would recommend our school to anyone who is seeking the way...

Not only did I sweat out the pounds much quicker than I did running on a treadmill at the gym, my core got much stronger and noticed that I had much more energy in my day. They have very traditional methods of teaching. You learn to train not only physically, you learn to take control of your mind too. I can honestly say that this helped me in other aspects of my life like my career. It helped me relieve stress and remove all my 'brain-noise' and made my mind more efficient. Also, helped a lot with confidence, and moving up the corporate ranks. I will definitely signing my kids up in the next few years when they are old enough, and wish I had started sooner in my life as it taught me much needed discipline.

All started off well with my two boys attending the summer week-long programs. When school was…read morearound the corner, I enrolled them in the after-school bus pick-up program. In a very short period of time, I noticed my children were begging to stop the program. After many talks with my children, I learned that a boy older than my boys was bullying my oldest son as soon as the group was left UNSUPERVISED! The instructors would go into their office where there is no line of sight to the children and sometimes even CLOSE THE DOOR!! This is when the bullying would take place. The same day I found out that my son finally stood up for himself by kicking the other boy after a chair was thrown at him, I told him I was going to speak with the instructors and he said not to at that moment because the instructors said they were going to be calling me when they had time. NO ONE EVER CALLED! And they even acknowledged by email some time later on that there was an altercation! When I tried to stop the services, they said I couldn't (I was on a month-to-month payment plan) and that we had to take other steps first. I cited the contracted that I had signed (which by the way, they don't give you a copy of, I happened to take a quick picture with my phone the day I signed it of the payment plan I was agreeing to). Finally, after much back and forth, they agreed to stop the program for my boys - BUT WOULD NOT release my DEPOSIT, which by agreement wasn't even supposed to be taken for the month-to-month option. I repeatedly asked for a copy of my contract and am still working on this so that I can get my $600 deposit back - YES $600!! I will likely be taking them to small claims court.

Turns out the schedule they give you and the schedule posted online is barely followed. I was paying 68 biweekly to train alone basically expecting there would be a class but wasn't. Most ethical gyms understand when a member has to move 80kms away that they cannot train anymore and cancel their membership so long the member can provide proof that they moved. At matador they will send a collection agency that has lots of complaints for harassment after you with an inflated number and threats to take legal action. I am reviewing this matter and will figure out a way to settle this. But I will use every platform I can to share my experience. I should ask for my money back for having to workout alone because the scheduled given wasnt followed. The more the collection company harasses me the more I will expose it. Would never recommend this place, maybe the instructors but not the business itself.
