Monica M. says, "I like that the instructor is very friendly and always ready to help. He takes the time to explain every step as well as correct us individually as we do it ourselves. We do drills and real life scenarios. Sometimes we meet at Crunch fitness to practice with more intensity. It is very helpful so we can practice what we learn without hurting our partners and get more of a workout. Definitely recommend!" Read more

Sifu Moy is a great instructor. Letting us know why we are doing things and showing us why we are doing things. Lots of times to attend classes, and many ways to pay for classes. Really enjoy the classes and instruction. I feel like I’m learning the true form of Wing Chun.

I love how knowledgeable Aaron is. I'm a very technical person and had a lot of questions. Aaron was very patient and answered all of them. His technique is also great and I feel as though I can defend myself better than I've ever have because of what Aaron taught me.
