This is the best martial arts school I have experienced. The instructors are great, and each student receives plenty of one-on-one attention. Each class is a workout of intensity proportional to the student's effort. This school has a strong emphasis on correctness of form.

I enrolled my daughter in this dojo seeking a positive female role model for my daughter after a tough divorce. Linda was always a great teacher and a wind in my daughters sails. We recently moved and subsequently had to stop attending class. Linda was very graceful and understanding about it and wished us well without any bitterness or angst. I consider her a friend despite compensating her for teaching my daughter. There simply are not enough good role models out there that lead by example and positivity like she did. Linda is a true class act. She will be missed.

Fantastic family run, history laden dojo. A great place to learn real Kenpo and is not a belt factory, you have to earn your colors. I highly recommend Linda and her staff!
