I was looking for a way to change my life when I found Authentic Kung Fu. I left a message so I…read morecould ask questions and got an immediate response. I was invited to come to 2 days of classes to decide which style would suit me. The building isn't in the greatest neighborhood and the school was ok. The impressive thing about the school was the quantity and diversity of weapons around the school. Sifu Cottrell, the owner and teacher at the school greeted me warmly. Classes were in session and Sifu took the time to give me a tour. He Started with his lineage, who his teachers were and who his teacher's teachers were. In Sifu's lineage, Ip man had taught his teacher! We sat for a while, while he educated me on Wing Chun and how Bruce Lee was the most famous practitioner. I came the next day to see Praying Mantis style, which even for a lay person was vastly different than Wing Chun. I had never seen anything quite like it, especially after watching so many Kung Fu movies. Sifu and I agreed Mantis would suit me best and it has. The instructors are top of the line. So patient, will explain and demonstrate techniques 100 million ways until you get it. I always felt supported and inspired to learn from the community of students. I never heard anyone speak an ill word or treat anyone poorly. The community of students welcomed me and I felt safe to both succeed and feel failure. Truly, I could go on and on, but there really is no greater place to learn Kung Fu and to embrace your potential.

I cannot say enough positive words about Authentic Kung Fu. My 8 year old son loves to go to his…read moreclasses, as does my husband for the evening (packed) adult class. Sifu Cotrell is the epitome of what I would look for in a martial arts educator. He is patient and soft spoken with the children. However, his expectations of their ability to learn movements with discipline and precision creates excellent students with a solid foundation of praying mantis Kung Fu. I love the fact that this is not just another "belt factory" establishment with a free uniform for joining. It is a fabulous school intended to enlighten and enhance any humans life from 8 to 88..... 5 Stars!!

Joining Team Lutter has been profoundly beneficial physically and mentally…read more The training partners are extremely helpful and supportive, always taking the time to answer questions or drill techniques after class. Most classes have 5-10 black belts in addition to Coach Travis, plus many more upper belts who take the mentorship of lower belts seriously. This means you have exponentially more people passing on knowledge they learned at Team Lutter. If you show up on time, be humble and coachable, you will eventually reap the life-changing benefits from Team Lutter's tight-knit community.

On these mats, he learned the grit and discipline that became the foundation of his character; he is now serving as an officer in the United States Marine Corps. I credit this gym with helping him find the internal strength to achieve that. For me, I have continued training into my late 50s. This isn't just a place to exercise; it's a place to find true camaraderie, learn an amazing life skill, and find a support system that truly wants you to succeed. Whether you are a parent looking to give your child a head start in life, or an adult looking for a challenge in a supportive environment, this is the place to be. World-class instruction and a world-class community.
