As a parent with a young child in the school, I will not present this as a long-term relationship with the school, but as the impression of someone new. My child is new there and new to martial arts. I have read some of the other comments that criticize the techniques that some of the students may be learning and that they are moving through the belt system too fast. I will look at it from an opposite view. I too was a young martial artist. I had some instructors that actually made me scared to go to class. They were too harsh for someone my age and as a beginner. With years of martial arts under my belt, I also walked in with criticisms in my mind forgetting that I once was a child. I want to walked as a very young boy not even a teenager yet into very intimidating schools run by adults. Although the unnecessarily hard hits, bad breath yells in my face and general "cold" dispositions may have made me tougher, but did not encourage my preteen self to want to go to class. This school has employees that are warm and embracing to the youth. In addition to the martial arts they encourage character growth in young children. For me, it's important for children to learn the foundations of martial arts Young. Proper stances, proper ways to punch, proper blocks and so on. As my son gets older, I will direct them more towards a specific discipline that he can master. He currently likes attending this school and is motivated to go . When that changes, the school is going to change. I will offer a long-term review later based on his training results. For now I am comfortable with this environment for a young boy. read more

This martial arts center is the cream of the crop! Professional staff, tremendous reputation and the most highly skilled instructors. This establishment is one of the very few elite that teach multiple disciplines. The most important in my opinion is the teachings of the King..Bruce Lee Geet kun do! I don't need to say anymore! Chi's Martial Arts has two locations, the Deer Park one and their Lindenhurst location. They also have Krav Magna. Sifu Chi is a black belt in numerous disciplines and is also a PhD. Everyone calls me sir! The discipline is second to none. Best martial Arts center ever! I highly recommend it! read more

I am so disappointed. When I signed up they were so nice but they didn't explain about the contract detail. My son couldn't continue but I still paying the monthly fee... So please be careful when you signup. read more

My child's contract ended and we did not renew due to covid-19 and the billing company continued to bill my account in full. I noticed the deduction right away and called Educational Funding (the billing co. used by the school) and was told it was an error. I made certain to explain that we were not going to renew until the school was fully opened again and that my account was not to be billed further than this "error". Unfortunately it happened again after with the billing company giving me the same story. I tried to contact the owner of the school (several times) however he Never returned my phone calls. I went to one of the employees who then went to his boss only to be told "you have to go through the billing co." I wanted the boss and owner to know that this was happening but his disregard and complete avoidance and pushing the message onto his employee "you have to deal with the billing co. i have nothing to do with billing" implies to me that he DOES have something to do with billing. I will never return to this school! A phone call back to me showing concern about the "mistakes" his billing company made and maybe (stretching far here) an apology would have made me think differently, but the whole thing is shady and he will never receive a dime from me again. Its very unfortunate because he has a great group of instructors there. I don't think much of him though. read more

Seems like a nice work out for kids but, if you're looking for a place to learn actual technique and proper form, this isn't it. Everyone is very friendly but, they seem very focused on the running time of the class, with a timer clock that runs, letting the instructor know when the 45 minutes is up. There are many places that focus on getting a lot of bodies in to the place to make money but, don't focus on much else; that's what this looks like. I saw Orange belt kids who didn't know how to throw a proper punch or snap kick, making it look like they probably charge a lot of extra money for promotions and promote kids pretty much just for showing up to classes, to get that extra money. They have what looks like kids teaching kids and based on the skill level of the Orange belt kids, even though the young people teaching supposedly hold black belts, I suspect those belts are about as legit as the ones held by the Orange belts I saw. As a former practitioner, it was very dissapointing and sad to see a place like this and parents who probably have absolutely no clue that their kids are having fun but, not learning much of anything. $200 per month to have a good workout a few days per week and extra money come "promotion" time; if that's what you're looking for, it would probably be cheaper to sign your kid up for fitness classes at a gym. read more
