When I first started…read moretraining here 13 years ago, I had tried several schools in the area and SMAC was the only place that I got a truly familial vibe. The entire teaching staff is encouraging and helpful, so much so that I began teaching there after several years of training. The style of karate is straight forward and direct with little in the way of frills or fancy technique. Equal emphasis is placed on self-defense and competition style fighting. If you want to learn to fight, Sensei Avi is the man to go to, if you want to compete, well he's still the right man to go to. Now the school is also offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu through Soca BJJ. The instructor, Cristian Buitron, is a very dynamic teacher who has competed and medaled internationally at numerous IBJJF competitions.

My son has been training for over a year, he's now 4 and there's never been a day where he's not super excited to go to class! The cubs program is absolutely adorable, and teaches kids coordination, discipline, to work as team, and focus. I've seen my little boy flourish, and I'm looking forward to his progress in the years to come. My husband and I were so impressed with the instructors that we signed up too! We've now been training for under a year and it's been such a life changing experience. Grateful for the team at Tiger Schulmanns. My child is not held in a 1 year contract as another reviewer mentioned. I'm certain that programs change depending on age. However, karate is a commitment and teaches accountability. In which, I'd gladly sign him up for a year bc I didn't raise a quitter. My honest review, and the countless 5 star reviews speak for themselves. Truly the best! Also, regarding another reviewer not sure how many MMA schools, or businesses for that matter, would honor the same program 20 years later. Programs expire and prices change.

Martial arts was a perfect fit and was helping him. When we moved to Syosset, we knew we wanted him to continue with martial arts so we spent some time trying to find a school that would be a good fit. He was three at the time so a lot of schools were hesitant to take him. Then we met Sensei Karen at Zanshin Self Defense. From the first sample class we knew her and her school would be perfect for our son. The classes are well structured and no one in the class is left behind. Each class flows from physical fitness to running, skills, and finally ending with some kind of fun game that the kids love. The best part is my son's muscular development is markedly improved and he is now doing drills with ease that used to give him troubles. Sensei Karen is great at empowering the kids and making them proud when they earn a "stripe" or their next colored belt. My son was so proud when he made yellow belt that I couldn't wipe the smile off of his face. Truly a joy to behold. Highly recommended and the first class is free. Give Sensei Karen a try, you won't be disappointed.

Prices are a bit steep but it gets better if you go on a family plan. They also provide a lot of gym amenities to make the pricetag worth it. From pickleball courts to rock climbing. Basketball courts as well. There are so many things to do at the facility beyond normal gym and fitness. They also have an indoor and outdoor pool. Both of them are very large and spacious. The outdoor one also has waterslides and a poolside bar and grill. It really feels like a resort. The indoor amenities are good as well. You can relax in the hot tub or sit in a sauna/steam room. There are also cold plunge pools. I love the unlimited studio classes. Xtreme intervals and maxout upper/lower body are my favorites. The instructors are energetic and motivating. They always keep me on my toes while keeping the overall class still fun and entertaining. If you're looking for more than just a basic gym, Life Time is the place to be.

Individual attention to each student by name and rigorous structure to give the children some of the very best building blocks for a strong foundation in life. I was very impressed by the control and orderliness of the class by the master and his junior assistant. Non-stop activity keeps the students engaged and glued attentively to the next requests for form and exercise. The classroom is very well lit and two or more groups act in unison with individuals floating in or out of one group to another when requested to do so. Strict adherence to form makes the classroom even more serious, as the students strive to maintain the approval of the master. Overall, We are encouraging our daughter to continue to grow in the process and learn the behaviors necessary to excel in this art form.

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.) Rates can be either daily or seasonal for individuals or family, and are very reasonable compared to similar community pools.

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. I kid about my parents (almost) and am happy to bestow five easy stars for a childhood reclaimed. I still hate snakes.
