With the most recent relocation to San Diego, I was blessed to find Wang Ho. Master King and the other instructors a re clear masters of their craft. Depending on the class, the average student age can hover in the early teens to late 20s, which for a man in his 30s can be slightly intimidating when trying to acquire new skills. Master King and Master Daniel have never let me get away with trying to "fake it until I make it," but their positivity and clear guidance have never embarrassed me, either. I highly recommend for anyone new to their offered disciplines or, like me, is more interested in adding a few skills to their existing repertoire.

He will observe his environment before jumping in and Sifu does not pressure him but makes him feel comfortable to join. He is incredibly patient with him and gives him the confidence he needs.

I'm so happy we found this studio and look forward to staying here as well as enrolling my other son in a few years!

It's not just another studio, it's a family, and not like Cobra Kai, but more like The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. You don't wear a shell, and you don't fight an Asian dude with a shiny metal helmet and razor sharp gauntlets, but you do train with the best and practice Northern Green Dragon Shaolin Kung Fu. So when people ask if you're kung fu is good, you can say, "hell yea." Training here is always a blast, and quite a workout. Before CMAI, I never really worked with weapons. Well, I did used bo staffs, because I got serious bo staff skills, but I never practiced with swords. You get swords here. That's how hard core they are about showing you the power of ass kickery. Sifu Dwight Love is one of the most awesome practitioners of the art, and an accomplished instructor. He's an older black man with a face that says he don't take crap from no one, but he's very kind and always patient with his students. Just think of Samuel L Jackson and replace his guns with Chuck Norris' ass kicking fists of fury and round house kicks of death--that's Sifu Dwight. Going to CMAI, I've learned 2 things: How to kick ass and how to take names. It's a great studio and they have lessons for all ages.
