He's a great dude as well and it's rare to find that combo. No ego either for such a wealth of knowledge. Definitely try a class if you are interested in self defense training.

Master Sonny Le has infused very refined and skilled techniques into the art of Kung Fu. Disciples of the Academy are actively engaging their physical bodies while grasping mental concepts such as deeper concentration, critical thinking and coordination between the mind and body. Throughout my time under the teachings of Master Sonny Le, I have developed a better sense of my strengths, abilities and self-confidence. The Academy provides a welcoming environment with other students which recognizes our weaknesses in order to overcome them, encouragement to keep us moving forward and the knowledge necessary in order to achieve our own personal goals. My time at North York Kung Fu Academy has enabled me to fulfill my own ambitions and I have successfully completed the Single Kung Fu nunchuku (Shao Zi Gun) and am currently pursuing the intermediate level for the Kung Fu nunchaku and Wing Chun self-defense system.

I've been doing Judo for many years in different countries and dojos including Japan. What I like…read moreabout Budokai Judo Club is this: It has a great atmosphere and knowledgeable friendly Judo teachers. They are patient and understanding, especially when it comes to kids and beginners. If you are looking do judo for fun, recreation ,fitness or tournament Budokai give you the tools. As well, the sensei to student ratio is about 1:10 .The result is the students get the attention they need to progress faster than they normally would at other dojos. I highly recommend it. Lorne E.

I had an absolutely terrible experience at Action Reaction MMA North York. I honestly cannot stress…read moreenough how terrible the experience was. I would never recommend this gym to anyone, and I would advise anyone currently training there to leave immediately. If you are thinking about joining, never come here. I started there at only 16 years old as a minor, and Fernando Zulick intentionally and illegally forced me to work for 22 straight months without being paid a single penny while I was an employee. I witnessed so many crimes that Fernando Zulick and the gym committed. They illegally had people sleeping inside the facility even though it was not zoned for residential use. Over the years, they had minors, a pregnant woman, and dozens of adults living there in literally life-threatening, rat-infested conditions. They also hosted ACE Jiu Jitsu Pro Cup shows, and I worked at these events. They cooked food out of a rat-infested kitchen with no permits and no legal authority to operate, and they illegally sold this food to the public, including children and women. The people selling this food were on visitor visas illegally working and getting paid illegally low wages. Do not come here ever. If you are there, leave immediately.

I have trained in over 8 different gyms around the world (US, Canada, Brazil) and I have to say…read morethat Lin MMA is probably in my top 2. Probably top BJJ school on my list but not top MMA school. In my opinion, the BJJ here is top notch and the instructors are fantastic. They have a game plan scheduled out for the entire year and the drills and techniques are done so that you can learn and get a great understanding and grasp of the moves. Professor Lin is a black belt BJJ artist who is easy to get along with and holds the respect of the entire class. The instructors are top notch and champions. The decor of the gym is more BJJ oriented. There are 3 big areas for classes along with heavy bags along the edges for the Muay Thai/Kick Boxing classes. There is also a small gym with free weights. Everybody who trains here are extremely respectful of you and if you are a beginner, you won't get thrown to the wolves like some of the other gyms that I've trained at. As a beginner, you will get brought along slowly until you have enough understanding to defend yourself against more advanced guys. There are beginner and more advanced classes. The new guys to this sport will be placed in the beginner classes before graduating to the more advanced classes. They are open on Saturdays which is a great thing because I like to train as often as possible. If you do end up getting hurt, there is an incident report that they file for their records. I ended up tearing the meniscus in my right knee while rolling so that pretty much ended my training here because I was sent back to Brazil for work so am training in Brazil now. Price-wise, this is a little more expensive than what I usually pay (compared to US prices because in Brazil, I pay pretty much next to nothing). I was only signed up for 3 months because I was on vacation during this time and wanted to continue training but as a monthly fee, it was a little pricier than what I had wanted to pay. However, I definitely have to say that I got more out of training here than I ended up paying for so that is a plus! Now, I have trained at Rev MMA and I have to say that the BJJ at Lin MMA is significantly better. The guys at Rev are less respectful of you and will go all out on rookies. Also, Lin MMA is cheaper!! Rev MMA is associated with Carlos Newton which is probably why they say they can jack up the prices. I have only trained at these two gyms in Toronto but can say that Lin MMA is probably the best in Toronto. Thank you Professor Lin and all of the coaches. If I am ever back in town for an extended period, I will be coming back to continue training after my knee heals up.
