Sifu Mark presented the fundamentals of Tai Chi stance clearly. My husband Joe and I needed basic training prior to advancing through the 108 steps of the Yang Long form style. Mark Moys approach to Tai Chi is the safest we have ever experienced. This will be our forever Tai Chi dojo.

Sifu Mark Moy is a wonderful teacher. He not only instructs my son in the martial arts but also teaches him life skills and techniques that will serve my son throughout his life. Sifu Moy is direct and clear. He teaches his class to be decisive and holds the class to a standard of excellence. He shows grace when needed and is an excellent instructor and communicator with great values. We feel very fortunate to have found his school.

I have had 2 kids go through KF at Moy Martial Arts. Mark and Victoria are amazing people. Mark does such a great job teaching about core life values like family, community, respect, etc., it’s so much more than simply Kung Fu. Highly recommended!

My son has been attending Moy Martial Arts for the past year and half, and I cant say enough great things about Mark Moy and the way he teaches the children. My 7 year old son has grown in strength, confidence and character during his time with Sifu Mark. Mark not only teaches them self-defense, but he infuses character development into each class, skills that translate into their life outside the class. Highly recommend!

Mark Moy is an excellent teacher and example, both. My grandson has been taking kajukembo (a combination of several martial arts) lessons for about 3 years, since age 5. Levi has shown much improvement in self confidence and attitude. I recommend Sifu Mark with no reservation. He teaches life principles along with martial arts.

Professor Moy has an excellent teaching style that is great for children, teens and adults. Anyone from the experienced martial artist to the total newbie can benefit from training in this street-wise program which emphasizes on self-defense. Training with Professor Moy has improved my life in so many ways and I would recommend both the Tai-Chi and Kajukenbo programs to anyone

I have been training at this school for over 20 years now and have started teaching my own students. There is never a day that gos by where Prof. Moy doesnt surprise me with a new and innovated way of not only learning, but in how to teach as well.

My son has been doing Kung fu with Mark Moys academy since kindergarten and now he is in seventh grade. He is stronger, more compassionate, and speaks up for whats right for his fellow people. Before he was so shy, I was afraid he would have life pass him by. Now he volunteers to be a part of descussions and, as a whole, seems to be more confident in himself. I am so happy that my son has gone through training with Mark. Markis a wonderful role model. Firm and kind and patient.

I found Moy Martial Arts after trying 2 other schools. I found them on Google and decided to give them a try...First off, it took me a month to get the courage to walk in there. I asked myself, Can I do this? Whats going to happen?, Who is this Im getting training from are they legit or some self inflated ego maniac?The first thing that struck me (not a kick) was how welcoming Professor Moy was. Before the initial workout Professor Moy took me aside and told me about his approach to the martial arts. His joy for life and his attitude of the martial arts was apparent, honest and contagious. My first class was friendly and exhausting experience. The classes are small, with no pretense the other students welcomed me and introduced themselves to me before and after class.Next I started wondering will this stuff Im learning really work? Will I be able to stop a surprise attack by some meth head or some thugs who try to grab my wife when were out at the movies.This is not one of those commercial karate schools where they toss you a uniform and you sit in on a 40 min class of drills and then go home. One where you pay your class fee$ to get promoted to an ever higher belt rank. This is a place where you will work out hard, sometimes youll feel great and sometimes youll want to cry, but when you come out of it you will be amazed at how your confidence, spirit and body have grown!My wondering is over, even though you will feel always welcomed and occasionally silly, you will not be getting trained in sports or tournament fighting. The skills you will be learning are serious and focused and grounded in reality. GOD forbid, in the case you are forced into a situation you cannot escape from, Professor Moy will be teaching you how to apply a This Ends Now mindset upon your attackers by providing you expert instruction developed by over 20 years of Martial Arts experience.You will soon learn like I did that there is a real mind-body-spirit approach to martial arts here. Professor Moy is the real deal! The training is tough and practical but also has a primary focus on the Martial in martial arts, so it provides a space for people to train at different levels and always be challenged.When my wife and I have kids we want them to train here. As a helper in the KungFu Kids class Ive talked with many parents who have remarked how this school has given their kids so much more. By improved overall behavior at home and school. Or how training has helped them with discipline at school and home, where they apply the things learned such as patience and respect etc. Its a great place for a child not just to be physically involved in a martial art but also to learn values and morals that are important in everyday life. Professor Moy has created a format for integrating family life into the martial arts curriculum.Ill warn you here and let the uninitiated know that the workouts are brutal... In a good way!I didnt know if Id survive the first one, and that thought was multiplied by the pain Id felt a couple days later. Though, I now get through the work outs the strength and flexibility I feel is uplifting beyond description.I cant say enough wonderful things about Professor Moy and his Wife Victoria and their school. I am inspired by him, because he defines authenticity -- He walks the walk. The concepts he speaks about and teaches are clearly the principles he lives by in his own life. I dreamt of a martial arts school where I would find both technical and spiritual teachings. In the past five years, Ive honestly found myself approaching life in a different way after training with Professor Moy.
