When you come to this school, you will get a wealth of knowledge from Pai Lum martial arts that will teach you health, balance, strength, confidence, discipline, comradery, and several other qualities. Since it is a fulltime school, you are able to have the option to train on several days, stop in on off hours to use some space to train and do different type of classes during the week. There is Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Arnis. Another benefit is that it is about self-defense, but what I love is the drive on health and fitness you get from it too. Sifu teaches how to build strength and healthiness during the process of learning a traditional art. He is dedicated to your wellbeing, health and martial art experience with passion. -Dan P

I'm 75 and my wife and I started tai chi this year at the palmyra Kung fu academy. The sifu…read more(leader/master/trainer) is very knowledgeable yet considerate of us old timers who need low impact exercise. My wife has balance issues and he encourages her to do as much as possible from a folding chair. This is proving quite effective, my wife sits much less as time goes by. There is a nice mix of ages in the classes: late teen through us old fogies, all together working on the same forms. Very encouraging for my wife and I. Please come and join us, the more the merrier.

I saw KickHouse on Facebook and decided to try an intro class before committing to a membership and…read moreI'm so glad I did. The instructor was super nice, knowledgeable, and really encouraging the entire time, which made it easy to jump right in even as a beginner. I loved the overall feel of KickHouse. It's such a positive, high-energy environment. The class itself was definitely a workout. I was sweating like crazy, but the music was high-vibe and kept me going the whole time. The 45 minutes flew by so fast. The location is in a plaza, so just keep in mind that parking is shared, but it wasn't an issue when I went. The studio itself is a really good size, with about 15-16 stations (bags/spots) set up for the class, so it didn't feel overcrowded.

I saw an ad for a free kickboxing class and was able to talk a friend into trying it out with me…read more We both are now members and cannot find enough good things to say about the staff, equipment, classes, and camaraderie. Kick House is a wonderful place with dedicated trainers. During everyone's first class, the trainer takes time out to show you the moves. Every trainer at the Hershey location has been amazing! You sign up for classes in advance, but they do offer "drop-ins" for $25 as space allows. They only have 17 bags, so once they are full that's it! The website and app to sign up for classes are both very easy to use. They offer loaner gloves that you can use until you get your own. They currently offer about 5 different classes for all skill levels. Classes are either 30 minutes or 45 minutes in length. I have never enjoyed working out, but I am addicted to this. You leave fully drenched in sweat and feeling like you can take on anything!

Before last week I most likely would have recommended this center but after what transpired the…read moreother night I will be taking all 3 of my kids out. My daughter began having an asthma attack and went to the party room to change her clothes so she could leave. She was cornered by 3 older girls who started making fun of her and calling her names like ugly and stupid. I confronted the kids and told them to get away from my kid. The second I turned my back to go to the office they did it again! And the office's response to all this? They say oh it must have been a misunderstanding, I'm sure they didn't mean it. This is why we don't allow parents in here. I'm sure she's sorry. NO! I watched her straight up bully my kid who couldn't breathe! Then act like I'm the bad guy for protecting my daughter. Shame on all of you!
