I don't know if the same teachers work there (at the time it was these two Olympic-level teachers that were phenomenal) but that year of learning Tae Kwon Do was one of the best and most important experiences/lessons of my life. Of course you learn the techniques, but they also taught me how to be respectful, discipline and be an overall good person (sounds cliche but it's true). I guess after looking at all the great reviews about 25 years after my experience with this place, their integrity has never wavered and I would recommend this place for sure. I think they also opened a new place in my hometown (next town over from Norwalk) New Canaan.

The gym has a friendly, inviting atmosphere and Jonesly has created a culture that promotes encouragement and cooperation. He is happy to answer questions and explain techniques - I really appreciate his patience. His focus on safety is important to me; he wants members to understand the equipment and use it properly, and how to keep themselves and others safe (as safe as you can practicing a combat sport). My overall confidence has grown through his program.

I recently moved to Glen Cove and was pleased to find that there is authentic Muay Thai being taught in the neighborhood. I checked it out for myself and quickly appreciated it. Signing up for a monthly membership was an easy decision. Master Garcia is knowledgable and caring. He will take the time and put in the effort to train you whether you are a seasoned fighter or someone who has zero martial arts training. If you're reading this review, I suggest you find the class schedule, message the owner, and come in to try it for yourself. I hope that more people in the neighborhood will begin training Muay Thai and that it fosters a greater sense of community.
