Grandmaster Dasifu knows WAY more than the typical shaolin kung fu monk, and he is a pretty pleasant person to deal with. Very knowledgeable and very nice. Kids especially learn a lot here and get a lot of discipline and social skills.

He is patient and doesn't seem to mind repeating one more time the thing he has already told me several times. At some point I get it and am always grateful. Classes are small with emphasis on lots of personal attention. He genuinely cares about his students and gets visibly excited when we are excited to learn something new. There are many lineages of Wing Tsun. I won't knock any of the others but will say WT is solid Wing Tsun. Techniques always conform to basic principles and everything you learn will be explained in reference to these core principles. It is a great system being taught right here in Houston! Blows my mind. Thanks Sifu!

Chen Tai Chi is also an incredible martial art, which unfortunately it seems, many who claim to know Chen Tai Chi have no concept of. There are hundreds of self-defense applications within Tai Chi, not to mention the health benefits.... Despite his young appearance, Edward has been training in martial arts and Tai Chi for over 30 years. Class curriculums can include: Yang and Chen Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Meditation, Tai Chi weapons, Chin Na, and self-defense with Tai Chi. Private Lessons are also offered.. Yoga is also offered at the location by Jana Zacek a certified (Joy Yoga Center) instructor..

They later told me it was "miscommunication". Well then communicate better..? To our surprise the class had almost 15 kids aged 4-12 today. They expected our 4 year old to keep up with everyone when he clearly didn't know what he was doing and was intimidated. As excited as my kid was to attend class, he broke down during class. My issue comes in when rather than comforting my kid who was 20 mins into his karate lesson or giving him some individual attention or helping him with the moves, the employees told me I was "interrupting" my crying 4 year old. Also how do you expect a kid to just come in, be thrown in a group 15 older kids and know how to do each move or how to kick or how to punch or how to do ANYTHING? Isnt that what we're paying you to teach? Absolutely ridiculous.

I've been described as a pretty quiet, meek, introvert, which is debatable, but mostly true. But…read moresomewhere deep inside of me, I guess I had some pent up anger and frustration to kick someone's ass to let out! Kickboxing here definitely brought out the badass in me. And I must warn you, it is definitely not for the faint of heart! I'm always on the lookout to mix up my workout regimen with new things to keep me interested and challenged, in addition to a boot camp I do twice a week, so a friend pointed me in the direction of a Groupon deal for "I Love Kickboxing.com" housed here at the American Martial Arts Academy. It's about an hour workout consisting of various stretching, ab excercises, upper body, and tons of cardio all at rapid fire speed, mixed in with punch/kick work --- it's the ultimate workout. The most important thing I learned was an awareness of my breathing to tie everything together. This is definitely a challenging workout and one that gets the job done. The instructors were very encouraging and I received more one-on-one work with an instructor/facilitator that was assisting. The most surprising thing? I can't remember the last time I had sweat as much as I did from that one class. And it felt pretty damn good. I've only been to one class, so I'll have to update once I've been to a few more classes.
