All of the coaches there from the jiu-jitsu coaches, boxing coach, Muay Thai coach they're all great and very helpful if you ask. I would highly recommend going here. It's $160 a month for unlimited classes. It's totally worth it in my opinion if you're a fan of mixed martial arts, gyms don't get much better than this. I really don't see what they could do much better than what they already have so John, good job, and I look forward to meeting you in the future.

Our family was offered Kenpo through the Elementary school. We started to enroll two children 5 and…read more3 for before and aftercare. Donna who was nice did let us know about vouchers-however once I got them sent theme in , they were incorrect. Noone called to let us know or say that they were wrong-so we ended up having to pull the 3-year-old and keep my 5 year old. The day when we went to enroll them, Lisa gave such an attitude, like she was not happy that we were there. We were treated as an inconvience. Lisa was huffing and puffin through my visist there. She did not even ask if we wanted to walk around the center. There is no structure, kids are just running free. FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL for my 5year old- I called Tuesday to see if we could start her on Wednesday due to the fee's. I was told yes, that it would be pro-rated. I paid the fee, confirmed that Kenpo was to pick my child up from school..4pm. My child was sent home on a regular school bus and dropped off to a home with no adults. Kenpo had her on a hold list-so, they would not take her even though we had made the appointment. My 5 year old was left crying on the side of a road. when we called kenpo to see what happened, lisa one of the directors did not seem to care. She was saying things like "well, shes okay right?" " Nothing is wrong with her" like it was okay to leave my child and i should be happy she was okay. my child could have been taken or kidnapped and they did not care. Lisa was so monotone and told us this was a "simple human error"--that could have costed my daughters life. Done with these people. Don't send your little ones! We went to the kenpo same day to withdraw my 5-year-old and to speak with management. I literally just got a voice mail from Kenpo blaming the school for my daughter's mishap. School followed protocol, kenpo was negligent.

Sifu Tim and Sifu Wayne and everyone else made us feel welcome from the start. You can more or less learn at your own pace, and the teachers and their assistants (Andrew, Alec, Ian, etc) are all very nice folks. I and my wife are really enjoying it. We go in for something different to do, and for physical wellbeing, and we are very happy we did. The school is easy to find, right off Harford Road. Parking is easy, and the facilities are clean and first rate. We've only just started, and we are thoroughly enoying ourselves. Give it a try!

I hate to make this an issue, but the neighborhood is sketchy, and I kind of value my life and…read morelimbs -- can't punch and kick without those, you know? The sifus do make sure someone walks me to my car when my husband doesn't come to class with me, and Sifu Wayne likes to show women some self-defense moves early on. However, I get to class by myself, and because another school shares the building, I have to park farther and walk when they have class. Entry also requires a key card (which I don't have), so I've had to wait... and been approached by undesirable elements. Everything else about this place is great, if it's what you're looking for. What it's not: (1) A traditional martial arts studio with all of the formality, decorum, and strict discipline. Nobody cares if you come late, leave early, or check your phone because everybody knows everybody else has lives. There's also a lot of laughing. It may be jarring for those coming from more traditional backgrounds. (2) Large. Class size is small and varies on a daily basis (about 2-15 people). You'll get individual attention from a sifu / assistant, but there are fewer different people to practice with, and it's an adjustment if you prefer big classes. However, those who come do so because they enjoy it, and they won't let you slack. (3) Aggressive. If you mistake a lack of chest-pounding for being weak, I think you'll be missing out if you don't at least give this place a chance. (4) Cardio-intensive; I still maintain a gym membership for that reason. Instead, they work on strength, via drills of actual techniques (as opposed to push-ups and suicides, which never helped anybody in a fight). Between shoulder workouts (to maintain your guard) and chain punches (I counted 675 punches during a typical warm-up... on one side), you will get some awesome arms. Kicks, stances, and shuffles will work on your legs. Why I like it: (1) This is the 5th martial arts school I've trained with (including a very good and well-respected one), but the first to actively encourage taking notes. Whereas others focused on techniques and dominating your opponent through sheer speed and strength, this place emphasizes -- from day 1 -- the principles behind why things are the way they are. They also welcome questions, and constantly ask if you have any. Nitpick: They talk about the science of wing chun as if it's unique; I don't think it is. By definition, all martial arts were originally about physically confronting another person, and they all had to work, i.e., science. The sports emphasis of many martial arts these days often results in individuals who miss key things about self-defense, but if you find someone who knows what they're doing, you'll be fine. With that said, I think these people know what they're doing, and they make a point of communicating it. The eye training fills a gap for me that the vague "Watch your opponent" or only slightly better "Watch your opponent's shoulders" never did. They do this frequently (and actively check that you're watching what you're supposed to be watching), so a month in, I was better able to identify the strikes being thrown at me. (2) The sifus work with my husband in class, then give us exercises to practice at home since he can't come regularly. They don't withhold martial arts "secrets"; they want you to learn, and they work within your limitations. (3) The instructors push you with good humor, not by yelling or punishment. However, they want you to train safely and leave it up to you to decide if you need to sit out. They also lighten up their strikes as your body is still adapting, and you're welcome to use their arm guards. (4) Sifu Wayne fights with you at your level. He'll push you enough to expose holes in your guard or understanding so that you think about what you're doing, rather than mindlessly perform techniques. (5) I'm laughing at the review comparing this place to the United Nations. While there is more diversity here than on the street, for a while, I thought I was the first of my kind, and I have only seen 2 other women at practice. I don't mind so long as the guys use deodorant and aren't testosterone-y, but I know some women like a higher ratio of their own. I do think they try to make this a comfortable environment for girls, though. A guy checking this place out used some crass language (he called it "being blunt," but it was misogynstic). The sifu politely asked him to watch his language in mixed company. (6) Sifu Wayne and Alec also teach the kung fu club at JHU. Alec said it's a legacy from Sifu Wayne's instructor. I've met people with a lack of respect for the culture from which their martial art derives, who thought they were self-made martial artists, or were just plain arrogant, so this nod to his roots is refreshing. Students at the Harford studio are welcome here.
