I had really enjoyed my classes there when I opted for their 6 month membership. The class itself…read moreand the instructors that I've had were great, so I did not mind driving 30-40 minutes to the classes. Compared to other places I've been to, it was a really effective work-out class and they really helped improve on your kickboxing skills. They're serious about the lessons, not just focusing on cardio. During the summer, you'd see a lot of regulars and also new members joining. My rating for the gym would be 2.5 stars. The reason for the rating is for its customer service and miscommunication. When I decided to start and opt in for 6 months, I felt really welcomed as a new member for the first month. Normally I never sign up for long term memberships, however, I decided to opt in because I was told I could hold the membership if I go out of town or am not able to go even with the membership I'm getting. Two months went by and I contacted the owner directly via e-mail and text informing him that I would like to put it on hold for July, but I was not able to due to short notice. I then requested for September to be on hold during August. I finally hear back requesting for more information, and had responded to it. FOUR months went by without a word, so I decided to follow-up. It was then he informed me that I had to sign a form to change the status of my membership. When I went the same weekend, the owner was not available but had told another instructor to attend to me, that I was there to cancel the membership, which was not my intent at all as I have been requesting for it to be on hold. I contacted the owner wanting to clarify, but it was not until then that I was provided for all the information that I needed over August until January. I wasn't given proper information I needed and wasted my membership for the last couple of months, and no accommodations were made. Great class.. but I felt like the customer service could improve by a lot, and definitely felt the information could have been provided more clearly and much more efficiently.

We started here with just my son taking the initial lessons. But, after I saw how great Steve was with the kid's classes, I decided to join and I'm glad I did. Steve blends most every practical martial art out there into a complete system that encompasses ground fighting, "stand up" and weapons training. And the best thing is Steve is certified by the most recognized big name martial artists out there Like Dan Inosanto ( one of the most famous senior students of Bruce Lee).

Whether you are looking to compete, learn street fighting, or just looking to get fit, this place is it.  Steve is patient, humble and his positive energy will help students take their skills to the next level regardless of age, gender or skill level.

Most people who bother with the matter at all would agree that the reputation of Chinese martial…read morearts (kung fu) is in a bad way. Perceived as being either whimsical or esoteric beyond good measure, many dispel kung-fu as a serious fighting art. The above-mentionned is not the case at Bamboo Kung Fu, the best martial arts school I have been to. After 3 years of previous training, I realized that although I had acquired some vague physical base, I had only foggy ideas as to how these techniques could be applied. The rigorous training at Bamboo is geared towards the essence of techniques (that is what cannot not be for the technique to work); this avoids plateaux, meaningless training, or even worse, training that is harmful. The bottom line is that Bamboo Kung Fu successfully combines pragmatism, tradition and gruelling physical regimens. Pragmatism because techniques must retain martial value. Tradition...Why throw out the window what has been passed down, refined, and proven to work? Finally, gruelling because a physical base is essential. All this is done under the umbrella of comprehensive, inclusive and friendly coaching.

I went to check out this place with a girl friend as we both already do taekwondo (both of us are…read moreblack belts), so we wanted to add something new to our training. We went in and were greeted by a female (forgot her name), and she took us on a tour of the facilities, as well explained the programs offered. Needless to say we were both very disappointed, with the facility and overall focus. The facility for the female side was disappointing. The changeroom was dirty and not well ventilated, so it had a moldy smell. Huge turn off from coming here for long workouts. (Keeping in mind, our dojo is 1/3 the size and never smells that bad). From looking around they seem to put a lot more into the male side of the facility then females. Not sure why but personally it turned me off from wanting to workout here. As for the programs yes they offer a lot but course is a little bit of everything. There is no class with direct focus on one thing. If I wanted to focus on self defence aspect I would have to wait for that part to rotate through again in the program to learn more. Example given was a 1 hour class will consist of cardio, strength training and than 1 form martial arts. For in a 3 day a week program the area you would want to focus on would happen once a week, not ever class. When learning taekwondo the focus on that form helped me to train better. If I were to learn it once a week while learning 2 other forms of martial arts my form and focus wouldn't be as strong. Keep that in mind if your looking to gear your mind and body in a specific direction. If you really don't care and just want to sweat with no real goal in mind than yes this is the place for you.
