Shaolin Institute

15.0 mi

GENERAL ASSESSMENT Our overall assessment is that Shaolin…read moreInstitute does an amazingly successful job fulfilling its promise as a learning experience for both the body and mind. As we have so far experienced it, Shaolin Institute indeed teaches a "way of life" in which students can experience gratifying physical achievement, whether in Tai Chi or Kung Fu, while also exercising and expanding mindfulness. One of the most appealing aspects of Shaolin Institute is the frequent reference before and after classes regarding how specific cultural, historical, medical, and scientific achievements are directly relevant for learning and appreciating martial arts. TEACHING ASSESSMENT It is impressive that Shaolin Institute exceeds expectations in basically every category used to evaluate teachers. Below are our summaries of Shaolin Institute's multifaceted teaching strengths. CURRICULUM * SI teachers follow the SI curriculum. * SI teachers choose activities for each student relevant to the SI curriculum and each student's level of achievement. * When feasible, SI teachers sometimes helpfully group students together to learn and practice as a group the forms they have previously learned. INSTRUCTION * SI teachers provide direction so that each student knows what to focus on during class. * SI teachers present new forms clearly and logically, and helpfully demonstrate new forms. * SI teachers provide feedback and re-teach forms when necessary. Teachers provide opportunities for students to practice new forms both with and without supervision. MOTIVATION * SI teachers show genuine concern for the students. * SI teachers project a positive, encouraging tone for the classroom experience. * SI teachers establish a level of difficulty, suited for each student's level, which encourages success. SI teachers provide good verbal praise, as well as critique as needed. COMMUNICATION * SI teachers always demonstrate enthusiasm in what they are teaching. * SI teachers explain and demonstrate forms clearly. * SI teachers respond graciously and substantively to questions. EXPECTATIONS * SI teachers communicate expectations to students. * SI teachers listen to students' feedback during class and adjust their teaching pace and content accordingly. * SI teachers encourage students to participate inextracurricular community opportunities, which isimportant for the students' confidence as well as the school's exposure. METHODOLOGY & MATERIALS * SI teachers often vary how they conduct classes, for example by describing the forms, including their origins, applications, etc., and/or by physically demonstrating the forms. Both methods are helpful, especially for students who learn in different ways. * SI teachers sometimes provide supplemental resources, such as video recordings of the classes, which can be exceptionally helpful for students who want to practice at home. EVALUATIVE ACTIVITIES * SI teachers monitor and give feedback on student progressduring each individual class. * SI teachers give oral evaluative comments, as well as sometimes grades or scores. * SI teachers are available for and sometimes proactively create opportunities for one-on-one progress discussions with students. CLASS ENVIRONMENT * SI teachers clearly communicate requirements for attitude and behavior, notably by emphasizing the SI student creed and the rituals of class beginnings and endings. TEACHER-STUDENT INTERACTIONS * SI teachers make an effort to know each student as an individual. * SI teachers routinely work to promote positive self-image in students. * SI teachers routinely create a classroom climate in which students are encouraged to grow and assume personal responsibility for their growth. LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR * SI teachers are observed routinely cooperating graciously with their teaching peers, demonstrating authentic respect for one another. * SI teachers are often observed sharing ideas and methods with their fellow teachers. * SI teachers are observed regularly seeking to advance their own growth. This continuing education, observed by the students, is motivating to the students and demonstrates how we are all learning and growing.

At four years old he is a bit young for martial arts, but I have been amazed by how much he has already learned. The instructors are so knowledgable about what is age appropriate for him to be picking up, and the atmosphere of the classes is very positive. The older students are always so kind and willing to help work with him. I am excited to watch him grow and learn in such a great environment. I was so impressed by what I saw in his classes, I decided to take kickboxing myself. Like my son, I started at the "bottom" of the learning curve (but not the youngest, ha!). But just like with his class, I got such great instruction, and the support from the other ladies and guys in class was so positive, I didn't feel out of place. Instructors modified everything to my level as I was learning. I am now the most fit I have ever been in my life. And the stress relief from hitting the heavy bags if worth everything! If you are looking for Aiki or Kickboxing in an extremely family friendly environment in either Acworth or Smyrna, Atlanta Budokan is an excellent place.

This review is for TOCA which operates inside D-Bat…read more Our family has had a mixed experience at TOCA Marietta. When we first joined, sessions started right on the hour and ran smoothly. Over time, though, the start times have drifted -- sometimes beginning 10-15 minutes late and wrapping up early before the next session. It's frustrating not knowing when the actual instruction time begins or ends. Another issue is the inconsistency with the coaching. The coaches seem to rotate frequently, and there doesn't appear to be a clear, consistent curriculum from week to week. Some coaches focus more on warm-ups and running than on skill development, while others (like Odell and Ronaldo) do an excellent job teaching technique and engaging the kids. Unfortunately, we haven't seen them in a while, and switching days hasn't helped us find them again. We've also noticed that while the club doesn't require cleats or shin guards, several kids wear them, which gives them an advantage during drills and scrimmages. It would be helpful if TOCA clarified equipment expectations so all players can participate on an even playing field. Overall, TOCA Marietta has potential -- especially when led by strong coaches -- but the inconsistency in scheduling, coaching style, and structure has made our experience uneven. With more stability and clearer communication, this could be a great program.

They responded to my message, apologizing and stating that my first class would be free. However, they didn't take the time to answer my other questions. I attended my first class this month, and unfortunately, the front desk lady was not very informative during my initial visit.

Therefore, my concerns are not directly related to him.He asked me if I wanted to schedule a phone consultation with him and a man named Jonathan. I did so the next day, but I never received any communication from them, not even a phone call, message, or email, despite the fact that they had been completely unresponsive for days. I'm not surprised by this, considering their initial behavior. As I was leaving, the front desk lady with extremely short hair asked me if I had a card on file and to pay for the number of classes I wanted. It appeared to be a blatant attempt to make a quick buck, which deeply offended me and made it abundantly clear that I would never return to this gym or recommend it to anyone. With that being said, I believe the facility and business as a whole are extremely disorganized, unprofessional, and unorderly in their operations.

In the past, I have tried to stay active by running about 1 mile/day and as far as food went-- the word DIET was never in my vocabulary. By the end of the challenge, I had moved up from running 1 mile/day to over 3 miles/day in the same time frame. During the 6 week challenge, besides going into the studio AT LEAST 3 times a week, I would do cardio at home for about 45 minutes about 4 times a week. Personally, the meal plan was the hardest for me to follow because I LOVE SWEETS. And I would be lying if I said I didn't cheat during the 6 weeks (I had cake on my sister's birthday) And knowing that I am about to sound corny BUT: it's not about how you fall, it's about how you get back up! Even when I fell off the meal plan, I had to put that behind me. I began to get more creative with my meals to help with that (made cauliflower pizza to fight the cravings)! Week 1- I saw some results, nothing impressive but the scale moved down a little. Week 2- I saw ZERO results (and I had pushed myself harder than week 1). It would have so easy to say, I can't do it at that point and just quit. One thing the trainers share is "How bad do you want it? How hard are you willingly to work for it?". My experience with all the trainers was positive, they would walk around during the sessions, and if you were struggling, they were right there, giving you the encouragement you needed to keep going. Yes, there is a deposit you pay with added guidelines but at no point is the challenge 100% guaranteed unless you put in the work and dedication to complete it. I believe during my orientation, one of the trainers said they had a 90% success rate. Most of the 10% were participants who didn't commit to the diet plan. This challenge is not easy! It is hard to not cheat while on a meal plan, and I would walk out of the studio feeling sore everyday- the good kind of sore. You have to really push yourself. If you push yourself, and stay committed, you will reach your goals. I did it! Initial Review: Perfect Gym for Women! I love going to the classes! They always changed up their routines so you continue to challenge your body and you stay engaged! The trainers are very interactive and they pushed me to work harder than I thought I could! Once I began the journey, it showed how much a balanced diet and exercise can contribute to a healthy life and body! I lost 20 lbs and 7% body fat in only 6 weeks!

My only qualm was that it was very much a cardio/fitness class and I was really looking for something more technical. That was frustrating because I get very little free time from work to get my training in and it would have been great if they communicated this to me ahead of time.
