Everyone is super helpful and patient and awesome to work with. Being able to get some really amazing knowledge from Dana, Chris and everyone else who stops in is incredible. I was a very intimidated at first with the lack of a "beginners" class, but once you get to drilling and learning from these everyone, you'll start picking it up. It's not easy, and you absolutely will be humbled when you're starting, but you just have to keep coming back and learning more. It's 100% worth it. If you're on the fence or just thinking about it, just come on in and try it out.

It's very convenient to where we live (by greenwich hospital), which was a huge plus. We signed up for the summer special after trying Greenwich kempo and devita karate (both of those places are great as well, and suggest you try them out too). We joined white tiger because the people are friendly, my daughter and I can do classes together, and the instructors are great. The summer special was a great deal, and I'll definitely be signing my daughter up afterwards. The instructors will take you out for a one on one if other classmates are more advanced. They are very patient in teaching, add humor but very firm at the same time. The other classmates watch you and also go gentle on you and have been extremely friendly. Those of you looking to increase cardio but dont want to sit on a bike in a gym, and also learn patience and body control, this seems to be the place. Very satisfied.

Unfortunately, I couldn't even attend for a month to try it out... I got beaten senseless by half of a class of 10-12 people during beginner class "light/technical" sparring. I hit everyone half speed in the head once (pulling all my punches besides maybe 1 or 2) and they flipped out like I had just slapped their mothers. After the sparring, I got ceremoniously bopped in the head by Coach Eddie the Magnificent. On my 5th day of class to boot... I basically paid $300+ just to get a concussion and have my SPINE damaged. Very disturbing experience... I did not enjoy these furious 'ommpa loompa's' and SIR PETTY EDDIE slapping me in the head while I was dazed and confused. #LeaveYourNapoleanComplexesHome #NoBueno #InPainaYearLater #TheDirtyDozen #CheaperbytheDozen #CheckingTeeps #RabbitPunchMadness #HadtoSupermanThatYouKnowWhat #GotPunchedintheBackoftheHeadsooooManyTimes

I emailed Sitan Gym in advance because I was going to be in Norwalk for work. Some of my fellow…read moreYelpers know that I've been taking Muay Thai, and I didn't want to miss while I was away. I was excited to hear that there was a champion fighter only a mile from the hotel I was staying at so I asked if I could come in and try the class. They emailed me back fairly quickly saying that they'd love to have me, which made me happy to go. My instructor told me to sign up for a beginner class. When I got there we did some warmups, but no jump rope like I'm used to. I was definitely the oldest in class. According to the schedule, it was a beginner class, but it seemed more like a kids class to me. During the time I was there, we did technical sparring. I was happy to be paired with more advanced, older students (the one girl won her last fight), and then also some kids. I felt a little out of my element, and I def. got punched in the face by a teenage boy at least once lol. I had cut my eye earlier in the day so it was bloodshot and kept watering. Def. not a good look, and maybe I shouldn't have even taken class. Oh well. After class, I got asked for a payment of $30, which I would have liked to have known up front, but nonetheless, I think it's a reasonable price for sure. I would have appreciated having more instruction on skills and technique though. Coach Eddie was walking around making suggestions, but my more advanced partners were pretty quiet. I did learn a defense move and quick, follow up counter attack to kicks, but it was mostly sparring and not so much instruction at this particular session. I'd say this class is really intense. So if you are looking to fight, this would def. be the place for you. Also, take it seriously. I stayed after to watch the advanced class and I have to say it was pretty intimidating, and Coach Eddie doesn't accept anything less than your best. If you are in town temporarily, def. talk to the gym about trying a class, but maybe call and get more details first so you know what to expect.

During this time he has demonstrated a unique proficiency to instruct students of all age groups and skills. He is always aware of a student's abilities. Although students have a wide range of talent, safety is the number one concern in the studio. Excessive force is never tolerated and students are free to demonstrate the various techniques that they have learned. In addition to learning self-defense, my family has learned self-confidence and awareness. These skills have been a benefit in both the workplace and school life. I recommend Master Devita both personally and professionally.

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.

I felt welcomed by everyone there. You can truly tell that the staff cares for each child that walks in the door.

Since he's been attending East Coast Academy of Tae Kwon Do his teachers have noticed such a huge improvement in his behavior & with focusing.
