I've been taking hapkido at this dojang for about five months now and I am still enjoying every minute of it. I've learned so much, not only self defense techniques but also Korean culture and self discipline.

Once upon a time they cared about the kids and Josh was a hands on, skilled and caring instructor. It was very rare that Todd the owner would ever stop in. Maybe he couldn't be bothered? Who knows. It sure felt like he couldn't be bothered. Josh made that place tolerable. Again, it once felt half way decent, until Josh left. That was a huge loss.

While maintaining a focus on physical activity and skill in taekwondo, the focus on values including respect, responsibility, and perseverance go far beyond just what is written on their walls. The staff work with the parents and families as a team to reinforce positive behavior and good character not just within their facility, but also at school and at home. There is a constant narrative of commitment to self improvement and to invest into helping to better our surrounding community as well. One of our children has had some trying behavior and over the past two years the staff has poured their effort into support and structure to help us guide him the right way. This is the type of community and environment all families want their children raised in. We genuinely send thanks to Grandmaster Kim and his team for all they do.

There are a variety of instructors who teach over the course of the week, and all of them bring their own innovative approaches to the art, while keeping the classes friendly and safe. I would highly recommend the free drop-in class for anyone who is thinking about trying a martial art. Aikido focuses on maximum effect for minimum effort, which means it is ideal for women, people of all ages, and the vertically-challenged (like me).

Sifu Brian Bateman is an excellent teacher who adapts to the ability of those present, customizing each class as needed. He has produced several outstanding black sash students over the years in Rochester. Traditional martial arts are often disrespected because they are commercialized for children, pressure testing and free sparring are often removed, and worse, MMA people often demand large puffy boxing gloves not suited for this style that constantly mixes grabs and yanks to setup brutal strikes. Don't let it fool you -- this is a fantastic system for self defense you will learn traditional weapons. Grandmaster Lee Kam Wing has co-written a book with Sifu Bateman, showing his dedication as an excellent disciple. I loved taking my kids to Rochester Shaolin.

She really liked it and moved up quickly. In the end of January of 14, I had enough of watching and decided to join officially in February. By mid summer, I was surprised that I had lost 25 pounds and that my clothes fit differently. I knew I wasn't "toned", but I never thought of myself as overweight. That October I turned 39 and decided that I wanted to be in the best shape of my life before I turned 40. I seeked advice and a meal plan from a personal trainer, and continued Kung-Fu 3 times a week, with HIIT training on the off days. By my 40th birthday, I had lost almost 60 pounds and lost 6" around my waist (according to my pants size)! I've since discontinued my restrictive meal plan and settled in at 45 pounds lost - even a year later. Kung-Fu kick started my entire health reformation, and continues to be fun! Bottom line: fun, better health, more confidence, lower blood pressure, new friends, more energy, probable longer life expectancy

Students also have required reading on the psychology of achievement, good habits, positive self talk, etc. If you are a parent, this place will supplement your efforts with community support in a fantastic way I've never seen elsewhere. (Adult students are also required to fill out very pedantic paperwork about TV time and food habits along with the kids, something that I can see time strapped, mature adults balking at). However, don't this fool you. Sifu Paul Gruschow teaches an eclectic mixture of Praying Mantis Kung Fu styles from different lineages under Grandmaster Raymond Fogg. Grandmaster Fogg has letters of recommendation from many Kung Fu legends such as Lily Lau and Shih Kien who played Han in "Enter the Dragon". Expensive, but good for families.
