Eric S. says, "I just started going to his classes, and missed a few weeks during vacation, but I look forward to getting back to class. Sifu is very understanding of different backgrounds, and styles. He teaches you using your style of learning, and is firm but fair in his training. He expects you to study at home, and when you don't, you don't move forward; you practice prior moves. When you do, you learn new techniques. He rewards dedication and commitment. As someone who has taken three different arts, I highly recommend Sifu Greene." Read more
