There are no words that I can put on this review that will encapsulate what Sifu and Simo mean to…read moreme. They welcomed me with open arms when I first pulled up and when I had no idea what I was truly walking into. What was and continues to be poured into me has helped cultivate a change in my life that I always dreamed of...to fully be aware of self and sufficient in all aspects and areas by maximizing effort. Master Lambert has been one of the greatest Teachers in my forty years of being on this planet. What he and his disciples have provided to me could never be repaid. I strive to have a life of peace and prosperity that Sifu and Simo share. As I said before there are no words that will encapsulate what these people mean to me. Everyone has different experiences and I will say this is one you would have to see yourself because "Shaolin Wing Chun is a living, breathing, entity."

I started out looking for something different than just the punching and kicking martial arts…read moreschool that you can find anywhere. My search led me to Meng's Martial Arts of Cincinnati and Shaolin Wing Chun taught by Master John Lambert. Master Lambert is an excellent teacher and human being. He will teach you to punch and kick, but also will teach you so much more about yourself. Master Lambert's depth of knowledge of martial arts, Shaolin Wing Chun, meditation, and self-defense is second to none. If you are looking for an authentic and genuine experience then this is the place for you.

Be careful with this school. There is a reason there are no women here. Mr. Norman will always…read morequestion your virtue. It's even on both doors, "Virtue is the Essence ", however he does not display much of his own. He will be very kind and use up your resources then treat you so badly that you can no longer tolerate attending. But no worries. . . He will be sure to tell everyone that you were in the wrong and just would not listen. As for children, he can be kind at times but watch out if your child is gifted. . .he will stifle your child with unfair obstacles. And if your child has too much fun, then prepare yourself. Your child will not be treated kindly. As for children with disabilities, he can be helpful and he'll pat himself on the back for any accomplishments you child makes. He never gives receipts so be prepared to pay for things and never receive them. Mr. Norman always has an excuse for not getting your item to you. It could be years or it could be never.

In January 2015 everyone in the class was notified by a phone call from Sandi that the class was on hold for the month of January because Mr. Norman had some training to do. After 3 months ,none of the members have been contacted with any information about the class. It is our belief that we were lied to! This is a very unprofessional and inconsiderate way to end a class of nearly 4 years! Neither Mr. Norman or Sandi contacted any of the students in the class to tell them it was ending! This kind of noncommunication is disrespectful to someone who has invested in your school for almost 4 years. I would never recommend this school to anyone after being treated so poorly in the end and neither will any of the other students that I have been in contact with!

Some of the instructors have trained in Okinawa, and have a deep respect for the culture and the art of Shuri-Ryu karate. At the same time, they are extremely approachable and down to earth. They're some of the kindest and most patient people I've met, and they care deeply about their students. They will meet you at whatever level you're at, whether you're young, old, fit, or out of shape (even if maybe you've never formally exercised your whole adult life...). They will push you to improve, but they are mindful of your limits. I've always felt challenged, but never singled out or left behind. I recommend them regardless of your age or experience level.
