It's been 6 months although I still get nervous like I did for exams in school but I'm glad I stuck to this.

I'm a little older but not that old to get back in shape and stay that way. Right now it's Covid-19 time so we haven't moved on to BJJ and hard core Muay Thai, but as soon as this virus dies I'm looking forward to learning all of it. We do practice the kicks and punches though. I love how I feel after coming out of the place. But you have to push yourself or you will get nothing from what they have to offer. I want to be healthy in my old age, with the ability to fight for me and my family, if I need to defend myself.

This is one of the best places to be if you or your children depend on structured routines. I was…read morestruggling to get my kids adjusted to a routine since covid 19 hit and everyone was laid back by working at their own pace. Since I wasn't brought up in an environment where family members engaged in after school activities. I always thought that all of these activities such as boxing, dancing, yoga, martial arts, swimming, gymnastics are for those folks who just don't know where to throw their money. Upon discussing options with my partner. We finally made the call to sign them up to marital arts, so that they'd have some structure and discipline. I was quite surprised to see my kids transformed within a few weeks. They started following instructions around the house. Additionally, I would have to admit that my kids no longer sit at the couch for 20 mins in front of the TV set, when we tell them it's dinner time, shower time, etc... They take action instantly. As far as sensei goes. He may not be for everyone. However, he'd definitely someone down my alley. I like the fact that he's tough with his students and walks around the room to do adjustments in postures or moves that he's teaching during the lesson. He explains why your technique would fail you during a fight. He's one of those that will tell you how it is. Which I love! If someone doesn't pay attention or becomes disruptive, he has different variations of discipline techniques that he applies throughout the session to keep the flow going, which doesn't impede with the class. I believe this is a huge investment in your kids! They're more confident, determined, focused and most of all, I believe they will use their knowledge from this sensei down the line during the course of their life.

It's sort of hidden away along Northern Blvd, but definitely close enough to main st to commute to. This is the first school I've been to that actually enables you to apply what you learned in action. During class there is legit hand-to-hand combat. I was awkward about it at first, but slowly got the hang of it. If you're not careful you might break a finger #js. Not only will you use your body, but also your brain. My teacher is David and he teaches M & W from 7:00-10:00PM. He teaches not only kung fu, but also explains the science and physics behind a movement. I took lessons here for a short while but stopped going because the time is a bit too late for me. However, I am planning on going back in the future. The students here, especially the black belts, are friendly and willing to help if you're confused. If you're looking to learn self-defense, then def check out Wu Tang.
