I feel so fortunate to have found him as my first coach--he's very welcoming and understanding and cares a lot about the wellbeing of his students. He is encouraging and makes class fun, while pushing us to work our hardest and to stay consistent with our progress. Coach Ken is also an excellent teacher. He really helps folks fine tune details of certain moves and find what works well for their body type and style. I'm looking forward to the growth of our program with a new women's class starting next week! Everyone on our team are very considerate training partners, but it will be great to have a women's only space as well. Drop by for an open mat--Friday evenings or Saturday mornings!

I emailed with the director, Professor Sonya Richardson, who thoroughly answered my questions about their teaching techniques and welcomed us to observe a class. When I entered Hand-to-Hand I was greeted as a new person with such warmth by multiple teachers/Sifus. Women, men, gender non-binary people are actively welcomed in this space. It is clearly a special place of community.

I will start off by saying this is the most practical application of self-defense I have seen…read more Anyone can learn this discipline. It's pure self-defense and the training is based on balance and using your natural physiological and psychological response to fear and stress. Through training, students learn to use these responses in a powerful and explosive way. While it can appear rough, and frankly, it is in many ways, the staff and students alike are mindful and caring in the way they implement the tools they're teaching/learning. I sought out a practical school for my son to learn to defend himself and this is a perfect fit for him. Knowing that my son is entering his teenage years with the correct mindset about the reality of violence is priceless. The school is kid-friendly, but it's best if your child is able to focus for over an hour for it to really be a benefit for all. I'm a big fan of International Academy of Wing Chun!

It's very meditative, and they really care about being in the proper form and stance. Everyone there is really dedicated to the martial art, and believe in its benefits. Personally it wasn't my thing so I didn't go back (I was expecting more cardio/activity, and there IS a lot of standing around learning the form and all that). That being said, if you DO like it I think it's a small, intimate atmosphere that will provide lots of one-on-one help. If you're considering it, I would drop by and give it a try.

The adult professional instructors are really engaged and invested in the growth of the kids. The focus on discipline is fantastic; the motivation to add bars to their belt (or eventually the next belt) really gets them going. And they're clearly just having more fun than gymnastics. We were just at an event there, and noticed afterwards how happy all the kids seemed (not just ours). There's a real positive energy. I don't know anything about Jiu Jitzu, but I know this place is a great for the kids to get exercise and personal growth, and maybe even community.
