There are not enough words or stars to express my gratitude to Sensei Jeff Hunt. This karate school…read moreis a hidden gem in Jamaica Queens. I have been bringing my children here for over 12 years. Both of my sons have accelerated to the level of black belt but not without hard work and determination. Jeff Hunt is not just a karate teacher he is a mentor, father figure and an Elder. Jeff Hunt has created a professional nurturing and loving environment. This school is a family the children have a bond and a sense of community. They have not only learned to respect each other, carry themselves inside and outside the dojo with godly character but to also share and give back the tools they have learned. One of my boys has a learning disability and through the discipline of Jeff Hunt he has learned to listen focus pay attention which has impacted his social emotional and educational learning. Most important each child walks away with a sense of accomplishment knowing that it's not how you start it's how you FINISH! Thank you Jeff for all you're hard work and investment into our children, community and village.

My son was 4yrs old when I enrolled him in a prominent Karate Dojo outside of my neighborhood in…read more2019. My hope was that the class would help to build his self-confidence and help with discipline. This place had many kids with lots of instructors but there was no structure as to what was being taught, no accountability and lots of confusion. We also tried another dojo within my community and that still didn't work out for my son. Each morning after dropping my son at school, I would pass this karate studio not knowing that this was the same guy I heard about almost 2 years prior. We met one morning, I shared with him my goals for my son, did the trial and now my son is one of his students. Jeff serious and focus when it comes to teaching this art form of Karate that he passionate about. If you are looking for a place for your child to play then this is not it. Jeff is skilled in Shotokan and as such, your child will be taught in an organized and structured environment. They will be held accountable to learn their kata while being encouraged to focus and do their best not only in karate but in school. He encourages reading, he motivates and affirms his students. They don't just rank up, they put the work in. This teaches them the importance of hardwork and dedication. Seeing them move in unison is amazing!!! I have seen such a difference in my son as he works towards getting his next belt. As a Christian man, Jeff is well respected not only by his students and parents, but within his community. One of the things that I love about him is that he goes above and beyond his calling. He knows his students strengths and weaknesses and never hesitates to let them know how to improve. My son is learning valuable skills that will last a life time. Jeff always say " its not me, it's God". It doesn't get any better than this.

Cedric Battle is the true definition of a teacher/role model. I had the honor of training under his…read morebrother Curtis Battle for many years, and I trained under Cedric as well. He's been nothing but a stand up guy and a great positive influence for me over the years. Battle Mixed Martial Arts is more than just a place for kids/adults to train and learn how to defend themselves. It's a way of life, and the principles I've learned here will carry with me for the rest of my life. I truly mean that in the most sincerest way.

Decent overnight gym. I train late using OnePass, so I rarely interact with staff. Overall, it's a…read moresolid setup ..all the essential machines are there and the facility is generally clean. Music can be hit or miss (the Zoes keep it lively, but a little kompa never hurt anyone). Big downside: the water fountains weren't working, which is frustrating during workouts. Still, the gym itself is not bad and the overall concept is good.

My gym in Valley Stream was closed today due to upgrades I received email I can go to any Puregym…read morein the NY, NJ area. So this location is close so I wanted to check it out. There's no check in at the desk when you come up the stairs/elevator you have to scan your phone and the new pod doors open to gain access. They have different equipment that the other location in Valley Stream does not have. One thing I noticed the machines are very close together there's not alot of spaces between certain machines. Other than that I had a good workout.
