Wonderful experience! The assignments and trainings are structured to help students to grow, learn and excel physically and mentally. The program required consistency on training. My child was quite shy when he first started the program. Since the program, he developed confident and grit to set goals to achieve. The instructors are very supportive, patient and knowledgeable. They are willing to help the students to succeed in variety of levels and goals. Of course parents support is still one of the most important elements to succeed.

Niagara Kung Fu Academy has been a saving grace for our family. For the last two years, my children and I have trained in a positive and supportive environment, and have grown immensely; both physically and mentally.NKFA has provided my children with a safe environment that has helped to foster self-control, self-awareness, self-discipline, accountability and self-respect.Sifu and all of the instructors have always been very professional, caring and invested in providing us with the best experience possible. We are proud to train at Niagara Kung Fu Academy and are thankful for such a life enriching experience.

I am far from a traditional martial arts student. I went to NKFA desperate for an exercise program that I would not grow bored of and would challenge my mind as much as my body. In the last few years, NKFA has provided just that and so much more. The community they have created is supportive, challenging and creative. I enrolled my children a year after myself. Both of them are thriving in the program. Their coordination has drastically improved, they have gained both confidence and discipline, but most importantly they are overall happier children. I strongly recommend both the kids and adults classes. Its truly a family experience.

Mostly is cut and paste from my Yelp Account 3/08/2020This review is from a parent and not instructors, like most before mine.To me this was very expensive for what you get. My child found it very frustrating having to sit around other kids who would roll around, talk, sit with there parents when they got bored and show up late. And there was no discipline at all. It didnt really matter at all during your testing what you did, EVERYBODY gets a passing grade. I watch my child doing all the proper moves and then watch other children with a higher belt degree barely do the routine, but if you are paid up your kid will pass, I guess thats how it works.When you sign up sifu is there to take your credit card info, and they will PUSH the black sash to your child steady.THEN when you ask for a meeting to discuss leaving the program it gets interesting.We showed up, entered the office, Sifu Rob leaves. He actually leaves the property, gone. Cant handle the situation I guess.This is when BRE ( I think she gave a positive review in 2012 and is an instructor there) enters and the lovely demeanor of her changes. Her tactics start with her sitting in front of your child and asking them questions. She doesnt actually talk to us, the parents. Everything is directed to the child. When we ask a question, she would cut us off. My child was very young when they said they would stay threw any turmoil and get their black sash. BRE will bring this up to our child steady, very good guilt tactic to use on a child.I stated that do to monetary restraints our family could not afford the high price of the program. She didnt care to here that, didnt even offer a reduction.Toward the end of this meeting my child asked to stay for her last class, BRE wouldnt have any of that. She said to my child your sending me mixed signals, do you want to stay or leave? well what is it? BRE decided not to let our child participate in the last class, we even said they want to do the last class because Daniel N ( another person who gave a review is an instructor) is my childs favorite instructor and really wanted to say goodbye.In the end our family was very upset on how this place makes you feel when you can no longer afford their high cost.They are all lovely Dovey there,but just dont try and to leave.Lately we have spoken to other families who have left this place and have had the same experience ( BRE experience) or worse.

Niagara Kung Fu Academy classes are our children favorite after school activity. The instructors are very professional and very talented. Our children have practiced all kind of sports before but Kung Fu has enhanced not only their strength but the importance of hard work and respect. Even their school teachers have noticed a progress on their listening and concentration in the classroom. If your are a parent and want the best for your children, Niagara Kung Fu Academy could be what you have been looking for.

I have only just joined at NKFA, and so far my experience has been nothing but pleasant. I originally went in to sign up my eldest minion only to end up signing up myself, starting with two introductory lessons, and now my first class. Even at moments when I was lost, there was always someone available encouraging with their fist times and tips. I am so happy I made this choice, as it is a promise to myself to a healthier and happier lifestyle for myself and my family. Def recommend!

Niagara Kung Fu Academy has literally changed my life physically, mentally, and spiritually.The instructors are friendly and knowledgeable, utilizing care and compassion in a fun, nurturing, and healthy environment.The students are from all walks of life, and are open and accepting, eager to learn and help.It is not just a great environment for families and individuals, but a community where egos are checked at the door, and a passion for the martial arts and self-improvement is always welcome.

I have grown as a student here for almost a decade, and my experience: completely life altering from the very beginning to this very day. Kung fu and self-defense, the way its taught here, is so much more than just physical skill or good fitness - its a state of mind, a way of life, and a method by which you can improve and master every aspect of your life. Added health bonuses of my low blood pressure disappeared, tendonitis and carpal tunnel in both wrists completely healed within a year, and gained 30 pounds of grip strength in each hand.

My son has been attending Niagara Kung Fu Academy now for 2 years, he has channeled a lot of his unused energy into the program. The program helps with development along side school and does not promote violence or bad behavior. I highly recommend Niagara Kung Fu Academy if you are interested in enrolling your children into Martial Arts.

Ive been doing kung fu here for almost four years and keeping with it this long has been the best decision ive ever made. In fact, I love it so much I go every day they are open. Theyve taught me self-defense, discipline, confidence and so much more all while pushing me to my best in the most fun way possible. Im so glad to be a part of this amazing kung fu family that has helped me grow so much over the past four years. The instructors are so kind, respectful and supportive and I am so excited for what will happen in the future.

I was in great shape when I joined NKFA, yet after a very short time I realized EVERYTHING I DO has gotten much better. We learn, and learn to practice, forms that sharpen every part of our selves. Thank you NKFA !

Review №32

Let me preface this with the fact that I didnt actually enroll here... because no one working a minimum wage job with any sort of bills could afford to.I went online looking for somewhere to learn tradition chinese martial arts and to my good fortune there was a school in NF teaching just that and even crazier an old co worker teaches there (a fantastic guy btw). So I leave my contact info and they send me an email saying theyll contact me. Neat. They call me the next day to set up a free lesson. I think, hell yeah Id love to check it out and meet the instructors. Im an incredibly anxious person so Id like to meet the people to see if Id even be comfortable learning there. I dont ask about price and the nice lady on the phone didnt feel it was important enough to discuss. I figure, hey whatever Im sure its not too bad. lets see what they have to offer.They send me a free video including a breathing exercise. The Sifu explains that if I were to stick with their techniques and classes I could possibly cure my anxiety and eliminate the need for medication.... right here I already felt a bit off. First of all, dont stop taking your anxiety medication just because youre doing techniques that can aid you in your incredibly uphill and unending battle. Anyone who actually deals with this daily struggle could tell you just how horrible that advice would be. Also you can pay for the video lessons. they run about 80 dollars... I am now worried about what Im getting myself into.I go to my first free lesson with the head instructor. An extremely nice gentleman, very softspoken and friendly. A lot like myself. I have an amazing first lesson and cant believe how excited I am to enroll here. An anxious person like me finally has an activity that he feels comfortable driving a half hour just to take part in a short lesson?? My lesson comes to an end and I ask I didnt see your pricing on the website and didnt catch it over the phone, whats it like? Sifu: We still need to do your second free lesson and see what classes you qualify for and then well talk about that.In my car im thinking... Im a beginner... I qualify for nothing. What does that even mean?? but hey I really like this place so I dont put much more thought into it. I get sent a review video in my email about what i just learned. I review it excitedly and think wow this place is great. And dont get me wrong. It is. Im not being sarcastic at all. It genuinely seems like a fantastic place to learn and a great style of martial arts. It even actually seems as encouraging an environment as advertised.I go to my second lesson. Im very shy and nervous but also very excited. The gentlemen talks about how he likes to have these one on ones to really get to know each student and make sure they are not ego maniacs, or tough guys that would ruin the environment. I think YESSSSS!!! I hate bros, bullies, and every other type of egotistical pretentious jerkwad! this place is perfect!Class ends. FINALLY i can find out if I can afford to even go here on my minimum wage paycheck. He sits down and shows me the schedule. there are ZERO morning classes except saturday which is a review class for techniques you should know from the previous lessons. I work afternoon to nights most days. I cant make any classes. Im beyond upset. He then proceeds to tell me that it costs $300 A MONTH to enroll. Not to mention theres a one time registration fee of DOUBLE THAT. oh but hes going to offer me a deal right now if I sign up today... Let me spare you minimum wagers, its not much of a deal. Needless to say I could not afford this at the moment.When I came into the club he shook my hand and said nice to see you. As I awkwardly left the club that second day there was no handshake and he had a look in his eye that said Ill probably never see you again.To have the balls to talk to me about ego... When you apparently only teach rich kids. I dont care how rare or effective your techniques are... Youre not worth what you think you are.

Enrolling in Niagara Kung Fu Academy has been an amazing experience. As a person suffering from an anxiety disorder I was very apprehensive about joining. But my fears were for naught as this place is simply filled with support and positivity! There is never any pressure or judgement. The classes are so fun and the instructors all have a great sense of humor!In the short time I have been enrolled I have noticed my Co ordination is getting better, my confidence is starting to improve, I am getting in better shape both physically and mentally and I always have fun! The head instructor ( Sifu ) helps you set and acheive the goals you are trying to reach.And on top of all this you are learning great self defence! I cant think of any other place that offers so much.Join Niagara Kung Fu Academy now!!!
