Martial arts was a perfect fit and was helping him. When we moved to Syosset, we knew we wanted him to continue with martial arts so we spent some time trying to find a school that would be a good fit. He was three at the time so a lot of schools were hesitant to take him. Then we met Sensei Karen at Zanshin Self Defense. From the first sample class we knew her and her school would be perfect for our son. The classes are well structured and no one in the class is left behind. Each class flows from physical fitness to running, skills, and finally ending with some kind of fun game that the kids love. The best part is my son's muscular development is markedly improved and he is now doing drills with ease that used to give him troubles. Sensei Karen is great at empowering the kids and making them proud when they earn a "stripe" or their next colored belt. My son was so proud when he made yellow belt that I couldn't wipe the smile off of his face. Truly a joy to behold. Highly recommended and the first class is free. Give Sensei Karen a try, you won't be disappointed.

If you want to learn how to defend yourself and your family, this is the place to be. How do I know? Simple. I've been training here for the past three years in Krav Maga. The instructor (we call him Soke), Tony Morrison is a martial arts practitioner for the past 40 years. He is the best teacher I've ever experienced. He motivates you. He guides you and helps you understand how to use these techniques and strategies to protect yourself. Adult Krav Classes are held five days a week. You can come once a week, twice a week or five days a week, all for the same price. Personally, I come five days a week. (I wish he had classes seven days a week as I'd be there every day.) Soke Morrison is a 4th degree black belt in Krav Maga and the drills and training are amazing. That's why so many of us keep returning every day and every week. By the way, you get a great workout by the end of each class in addition to learning great skills to help you go about your daily life. Note, when reading reviews online, make sure you separate out reviews about the training and instruction as opposed to perceived injustices from people who have nothing to do with the training or the principles being taught at this excellent Krav Maga school. I wish I had known about Top Gun Krav Maga years ago, and I'm honored to be training with the best instructor in the business. What are you waiting for? Come down and see for yourself.

In 2 months, my daughters focus, discipline, academics, soccer, and maturity have all improved tremendously. The school is caring, and they make sure to keep the family involved as your child embarks on their journey. She made yellow belt in 2 months, and will be graduating to it next month. She was promoted into the black belt academy program with her white belt. The foundation and structure they provide is a great blue print which you can enact at home to keep consistency. If you're on the fence about registering, I would encourage you to do it. They have been extremely flexible with me, and to me the cost of the school vs investing into my daughter is a non-consideration as I believe this program will allow my daughter to grow into the person we see : loving, caring, hardworking, smart, and dedicated. Thank you Go For It for helping us develop our daughter into a leader.
