A key point I would like to touch on is that Cindy makes an emphasis on seeing what's going on with you before the session- a mental wellness check before tackling any physical issues. Unlike most masseuses she makes sure you are connected to your breath during the session.. definitely something thats not done enough in most massages. She also included some Reiki technique to my session and it added a whole new layer to my experience. Overall the experience and vibe of the room gave way to one of the best wellness experiences I've had. I would recommend to anyone who is really trying to get a sense of relaxation in their Life.

I've tried going to a chiropractor, physical therapy, hand massages, etc and nothing gave me long term relief. I was hopeless at a point thinking I would never fully recover from my injury and my mom recommended me to Alan saying he may be able to help me. Within the first 5 minutes of our first session, he pinpointed the muscle that was bothering me for over a year and instantly knew how to get it to release. I have just completed my 4th session with him and mind you I just started earlier this month, my back almost feels back to normal at 100%. I will now recommend my friends, family, and colleagues to try Alan out as he is truly a miracle worker. Thank you again Alan, you made this 23 year old feel like I can finally get my life back to normal. I appreciate the fun conversations and all the hospitality you've shown me. I wish you the best of luck, you deserve all the success!!!

[Review #800] 2023-088…read more On my 800th review, coincidentally it's also my 88th for 2023, I'm giving it to Lion's Pride Kung Fu because Asians/Chinese believe 8 (八) sounds like fortune (發). I learned of the kung fu (功夫) studio through my son's classmate's mom, Lisa W., who takes classes with her son. I was really impressed with a video of her in a recent competition so I had my son take a couple of trial lessons to garner his interest, especially since he's been going to Chinese school to learn Cantonese... he's been interested in all things Chinese. We met Aaron on the first trial day; super friendly guy, answering all my questions & sharing his personal experience that I want to sign-up too (sadly, I injured my neck & most recently my shoulder that I'm holding off for now). During the week long trial sessions, M was literally learning trial by fire during the 2 days he attended. I thought I knew my son's capabilities & limitations, but he proved me wrong. I thought 師傅 (Sifu) Jeremy Hector would deconstruct the exercise for the newcomers, instead they're expected to follow along with 師傅 providing the necessary adjustments/corrections. I expected M to be frustrated (he was), but persevered & pushed through it, as did my husband. 師傅 is strict & professional, yet his teaching style still keeps the kids & adults engaged. Can't say it looks fun, but I'm very impressed with the class work ethic. In a short month, M learned the "Stance Exercise" ("步法"; 20 moves) & "Salute Act" (42 moves). It's quite impressive for an 8 YO to remember the order of each move & his fluidity as he transitions from one to the next! My husband also signed up so he can get some exercise in; they attend twice per week in the beginner family session on Monday & Wednesday evenings; no Saturday mornings due to Chinese school. I like the idea of combining Chinese school & the kung fu studio's teachings & customs, particularly on morality. In traditional Chinese schools of martial arts, it's not just a means of self-defense, or physical & mental training, but also a system of ethics aka "martial morality" (武德), which focuses on 2 aspects: 1) virtue of mind & 2) virtue of deed. The 1st is meant to cultivate the inner harmony between the emotional mind (心: heart) & the wisdom mind (慧; intelligence); 2) concerns social relations, with the eventual goal of "no extremity" (無極) -- closely related to the Taoist concept -- where both emotions & wisdom are in harmony. In Chinese school, respect (尊重) is taught, to your family, elders, others, & yourself. My rambunctious 8 YO is slowly growing into his own: respectful, dedicated, honorable. I'm so proud of M's recent growth & change for the better. 師傅 Hector has been a martial artist for most of his life, devoting over 2 decades, studying various Chinese Kung Fu styles with well-respected masters. Lion's Pride offers traditional Kung Fu, as well as training in several styles of Chinese martial arts, self-defense, weapons, & Tai Chi. Some styles (as listed on their website): * Northern Shaolin * My-Jong Law Horn * Tai Chi & Seven Star Praying Mantis * Yang, Chen, & Do Gar Tai Chi Chuan * Classical Chinese Weaponry (練兵器) * Chi Kung * Traditional Chinese Lion Dance If you're looking to learn Chinese Kung Fu (功夫) or a change in how you exercise, come check out Lion's Pride Kung Fu. 師傅 Hector provides his guidance & extensive knowledge to exercise your mind, body, & spirit, alongside a whole group of supportive friends to help you succeed!

He attends class 3-4 times a week for the 45 minute training sessions routinely, much like going to a gym, not being relegated to one simple class, but garnering frequency in learning Kung Fu. I like the flexible format of this school. Kung-Fu is a long term martial art, not about belt promotions, nor expediting sparring, competition and the glitzy weapons or flashy moves. It's what I really like about Kung Fu. Our son has leaned how to count in Chinese here. He went from a beginner who knew nothing to a student who can at least memorize the complete 20 sequenced set of positions / moves to do them with fluid grace correctly, which I'm impressed by. I recommend this school still, after being here for a year. I'm sure the best has yet to come and it's a long road for continual development, improvement and new aspects (like Lion Dancing or Ancient Chinese Weapons or even sparring with other students) to patiently await earning a way towards as a student. I'm very satisfied by Sifu Hector's ability to teach my son Kung Fu, given the fact that he's not the best or easiest student of anything at age 6 when it comes to focus, discipline and putting forth focused efforts.
