Defence Lab Millbury is a fantastic school to study martial arts including traditional kung fu, tai chi, kali and practical modern self-defense with the Defence Lab DNA system (same style Liam Neeson and Tom Cruise use in their recent movies!!) . As soon as you walk in the door, you feel the the warm, inviting nature of the students and staff. Even after nearly 2 decades of training in different martial arts styles, not only do I feel welcomed into the school, but I feel like there's still so much to learn! The programs offered are diverse enough to keep people of all physical abilities and experiences in martial arts and fitness interested and inspired. For the younger crowd, the family class teaches traditional kung fu and fitness training, where the kids can study with their parents, which is a great bonding experience, and great for learning discipline and respect. At Family Kung Fu, they even teach Bruce Lee's style Jeet Kune Do, which is great for fitness workouts and self-defense for adults and teenagers. For people looking strictly for modern practical self-defence, they can also check out the new Defence Lab program. If you're looking to work at a slower pace while still developing coordination, balance, strength, and focus, the tai chi program is second to none, and a great work out too. read more

After having lumbar spine surgery and being told by my Neurologist there were no more medications they can give me to help with the pain (aside from more narcotics), I sought out alternative forms of medicine, and that led me to Tai Chi and Family Kung Fu Centers. When I joined, I was in bad shape, incapable of bending my back without excruciating pain. In my time at Family Kung Fu Centers, the severity and frequency of those pains has diminished, my balance has improved, my strength and energy levels have increased, and I am more physically fit. I owe all of these wonderful benefits to the training I received at Family Kung Fu Centers. Family Kung Fu Centers provides a fun, safe, family-friendly approach to learning martial arts, and that martial art training provides students with a vehicle for learning confidence, focus, and self-defense, as well as health benefits such as increased balance, flexibility, fitness and energy. I highly recommend it to everyone, after all, it doesn't cost you anything to try the 30-day free trial! I look forward to seeing you there!

Horrible/ Poor Quality Do you know how it feels when a slimy used-car salesman tries to trick you into buying a lemon car? That's exactly how I felt at family kung fu centers; like I was being sold a used car that was broken. I think it feels like cult tactics and peer pressure trying to get more and more money from you. For me, I felt that they were more of a marketing school with no lineage at all in kung fu. Worse than the worst mcdojo I've ever heard about. I did have two friends warn me about this place, warning me that 'family kung fu centers has a reputation for treating people like dollar signs.' But now I know for sure and I left that place because it made me feel like I was getting sucked into to a marketing cult. That's why I'm writing this review. To warn others of this horrible mcdojo. It's bad enough that you feel like used car salemen, but it's worse when they use slogans, like mindless robot sales people. After a while and all the sales slogans I just had to quit them permanently. Warning to everyone about the worst mcdojo of all time. read more

Life skill martial arts in Millbury Massachusetts has provided an incredible opportunity for me and my children. Not only do we get the obvious benefits have a great workout karma but my children are also learning public speaking and leadership through the amazing Legacy program a life skill. The supplementary programs, including summer and vacation camps plus after school martial arts are comprable and price to other options. As a parent I love the life skill curriculum because it puts the character trait teachings into simple language that is easy to implement into everyday parenting. This helps parents, teachers and the team at life skill send a consistent and unified message. It's a great program and if you ever met my children you to understand why I'm such a big fan. read more

I've been going to this school for over 10 years, and the place is like a second home to me with a great, extended family. With 3 different offerings (Traditional Kung Fu, Taiji, or the more modern Defence Lab), there's something for everybody. The classes are fun, dynamic, and practical. The curriculum is always evolving to provide more practical, concise instruction in a manner that every student can follow and allows them to develop their abilities at their own rate. I can't imagine going to another school and learning from anyone else. The teacher, Mr. Tabor, has a wealth of knowledge, and is continuously learning, researching, and honing his own skills, passing on his insights to his students. read more

My wife, children, and I attend this school regularly. The learning never ends and the fellowship is so strong students from decades ago return to continue their studies. I am proud to train with the strong students who inspire me and am proud to see the transformation in students who seek it out. 5 years of arthritic hip and foot pain came to an end after training here for a year. 11 years ago I tore both knees and had to walk down stairs sideways. Nearly 10 years of yoga did not offer this depth of recovery. There is nothing better for knee issues than consistent kung-fu. To all of those who drive by and yell 'Hi Yah!' while we practice: I look forward to training with you someday! read more

The staff is very helpful and nice. I've never felt out of place or uncomfortable in the 3 years that me and my family have gone to this school. There are classes for every skill level and if you need extra help there are always instructors to lend a hand. I also love that the whole family can take class together cutting down on travel time and over scheduling for us. We love being a "Kung Fu Family" and feel fortunate to have such an awesome school in town. read more
