Obviously, I can not…read morespeak about the instruction in the Tae Kwon Do classes, as she is not old enough for them yet- but if they are anything like the instruction they provide towards younger children, I'm sure they are excellent classes. For anyone with younger children, I would DEFINITELY check out their open gym time to get a feel for the place. The facility is extremely clean and well-run, the equipment is in excellent condition, and I am conststantly impressed with how professional, creative, and genuinely happy to be there the instructors are- from Master Chung himself down, they all seem to LOVE teaching skills to children. (And not in a cheesy way!) I would definitely recommend the sports skills class to anyone with a child in the 2.5-5 year range. My niece is learning so much and becoming so much more confident in her abilities. Unlike other similar classes I've observed at other locations, Bruce Chung's makes sure that all the children in the class are engaged, with minimal time just sitting around waiting their turn. VERY pleased with this class!

This is a small, non competitive school, with various instructors, all incredibly proficient and caring. The intro trial, 5 classes for $50 is by far the best way to see if KOMAA is the right place to learn and train. As I said, I study both Yang and Chen Tai Chi as a senior man, but there are classes for kids and adults in other martial arts. I have not participated in these, but I have observed, and the philosophy is constant; learn in a safe, caring and non judgmental environment and improve you life. As far as my Tai Chi journey, all I can say is to quote Lou Reed: "Tai Chi puts you in touch with the invisible power of -yes- the universe. Change your energy, change your mind." If that resonates with you, then KOMAA is the place to learn and grow.

No matter what level you start at with Carlos, he makes you feel like you belong and helps you see your potential to become even better. Everybody at the gym is really positive and friendly. It's a beautiful training space too.

I am a woman that has trained under Carlos for about 6 years. I love his gym and the way he trains…read morehis students. He is a talented coach that puts his all into his fighters. I have NEVER felt disrespected as a woman in his gym, I was always treated as an equal. I think what he is trying to do for men's mental health is a must needed. The reason he does not want to coach women fighters is NOT because he is a "misogynist pig", the reason he has chosen not to train female fighters is because the strain that a human body is put under when preparing for a fight is very harsh. The process can affect our ability to carry a child in the future, it effects our periods and the constant hits to our bodies can affect our bones in a very negative way which we would especially feel after going through menopause. Women now days do have a lot of different "outlets", whereas men do not have as many "outlet" opportunities and definitely need them (just look at men's mental health). He has stated in many of his videos that he hates how in other gyms, women have been used solely as a "sale" for the gym by using photos of hot women, instead of just focusing on the fighters (be men or women). Carlos has the kindest sole for humans and has often trained people for free if they have not been able to pay. He has helped countless amounts of men from killing themselves by being there for them. He has given fighters an opportunity to fight and grow. He has done so much for the Muay thai community and has a gift for teaching it. His wording in his videos may be misleading of what he is trying to say and English is not his first language, but if you actually sit down with him and talk to him you may actually understand what he is really trying to say.

Classes are offered primarily in the late afternoon/evening with a couple on M & W at 6AM thrown in there to satisfy the early risers. Owner is friendly but tough in a good way - he knows the fine line between when you are struggling and need a lighter weight to do the move properly and when you are just being lazy. WoD's have been challenging but doable - the two Ive done so far have been 20 and 30 min each so between that and a warm up/cool down you get in your hour of exercise. I have never been as sore as I was after my first class and can already tell after todays class I am in for another round of soreness. I don't mind too much and I know I'm getting a good workout. People have been friendly and I felt welcome right away. There are modifications (ring rows instead of pull ups, sit ups instead of toe to bars etc) for newbies/beginners so you are always able to participate. Our WoD today had a group challenge for the last round and despite my best round my team lost and our punishment was 20 burpees for each rep we lost by - or 44 burpees for the 5 of us since we lost by 11 reps to equal 220 burpees total. Love the team atmosphere and ability to track your progress and see improvement. Now, here is where I am torn, like most Crossfit gyms is not cheap. There is definitely value in the small group training atmosphere and coach's attention though. It's $180/mo unlimited or $130/mo for 2x week classes. I could see myself doing the foundation program and getting a 10 class pass or something if they had that to go once every week or two and then just doing my own 'work in the Equinox studio when there were no classes going on.

There are a few picnic tables and grills on the lawn. No pool lounge chairs or towel service so bring your own chairs, picnic blankets, food/snacks and other accoutrements to enjoy a leisurely summer day. Facilities are clean and well-maintained. Very kids/toddler-friendly. The sizeable shallow end has several sprinklers/splash fountains for children to play in, and there are slides on both the kiddie and adult sides. Also a playground in the back (not affiliated with the pool). There are always many life guards on duty every time I've gone. The pool is accessible only to Clarkstown residents and their guests, so if you're not a resident befriend someone who is. You must obtain a Clarkstown resident ID card first at the registration office at 31 Zukor Road in New City. (The pool won't simply accept a driver's license.)

It's no exaggeration that these monsters from the deep probably kept a legion of child psychiatrists in full time employment. On a recent visit it was nice to see that the previous snake-ridden den of iniquity has long been been replaced with a legitimate pool and that the mythological beasts of years past have been slayed by chlorine and actual cement walls. You can even see right to the bottom. What a concept. This is what Nanuet Lake should have been like all along... no thanks whatsoever to my parents who thought this was some tough love version of Shangri La, albeit minus the all consuming bliss one often finds in paradise.
