I've seen a drastic boost of confidence in my son and he actually enjoys going to Kickboxing now. I truly appreciate the smaller classes and the fact that they pay close attention to every child there regardless of their skill level / age. Jason (the owner) is extremely accommodating and understanding. He did an amazing job with the coaches that he selected to work at Funk! My son looks forward to hands on training every week with his coaches, Manny & Justin! They even have weekends! Give them a try, they also have adult classes, you won't be disappointed!

I trust them implicitly with every other instructor in the school and hope they will benefit from it even half as much as I have.

Overall this school is well rounded to help create a strong base for my kids confidence and core mechanics. Bonus, the sensei's are quite funny.

Full disclosure; I started practicing with LIA in 1987. I moved to Maryland in 2011, but whenever I…read moreget back to LI, I practice there. This is THE place to practice on Long Island. Hagihara sensei (a first generation aikidoist) has been teaching since 1964. All the instructors at LIA are his students, and they are all extremely talented, yet each has a different approach. Some are trained in multiple martial arts. All care deeply about teaching. The mat space is big (except when there are huge seminars), and cleaned daily by the students. There are even "lounging areas" to accommodate parties (which occur often), or just the times when people want to chill after class with a drink. The only downside - it doesn't *look* like a dojo from outside. So if you're casually driving by, you might miss it.

As a new student they were not welcoming at all, The instructor actually said to my 4 year old son "if your scared go sit down with mommy." At his first class! Makes no sense for him to speak about bullies and yet he's bullying my 4 year old.. At the Krav Maga class My son was told to punch and kick.. was never taught how to so he got confused..but then he was told to sit down again.. The classes are also very large cause they want to pack as many students in as possible so the students spend most of the time sitting...there's also no room for the parents to sit and watch either..

I always wanted to do martial arts but never had the chance when I was young. So when I got older I…read morestarted looking at different martial arts schools just for a good workout. I checked out Ju Jitsu, Karate, Tae Kwon Do schools not knowing what to expect and found myself talking to a lot of "martial arts factory salesmen" running the schools. When I met MASTER MA for the first time he immediately struck me as a REAL instructor and the friendliest person you'll ever meet. I did a trial lesson and, although I was very intimidated, they explained things in a way that made sense and made me more confident and comfortable as it went. I joined and built myself up over the years. I'm very happy I picked this school. The lineage and the instruction you receive is undoubtedly authentic as you can trace the instructors training through Grandmaster Kang the owner of the schools (who's father trained in the FIRST Tae Kwon Do school in Korea). Some students go to class almost every day and some students go once a week or so but the instructors keep everyone on pace for their goals and there are many black belts that help out as well. I'm in the adult classes but seeing the kids classes everyday, I'm amazed how far the kids come no matter what their skill level and maturity is when they start, the instructors do a great job of keeping everyone in line, in shape, and having fun, all while imparting knowledge. Tae Kwon Do is such a great work out, the system has a generous learning curve, and you find yourself in great shape overall (cardio endurance and strength) with increased physical ability, this school is the best choice and the classes ranging from traditional, sparring, cardio, stretching, etc.. are always fun and different.

To comment on the other reviewer Alexander S... perhaps you had such a bad experience with TKT…read morebecause youre such a Dumbass... TKANG is the best taekwondo school you can find. They don't just hire instructors off the street,. Each instructor was a student and have been with TKT for at least 15 years.They only hire from within and are very particular about how they conduct their business. They take particular interest in each of their students which is a high feat in itself. If you are dedicated to the art of taekwondo and show you take it seriously the instructors make it a point to work on every aspect to ensure you will improve in your strengths and perfect what you excel at. If you are lacking in any particular aspect perhaps it s because you need to work harder at it or put more practice in. By the way what other martial arts school encourages you to attend every day? TKT is an elite school.
