I started training with Sifu Dan 5 months back. Let us say I was not in the best of shape but was enthusiastic. Sifu Dan is one of the teachers that you come across in a while who are dedicated and patient and take great joy in teaching their skills. He makes sure that each class takes you once step further in your skills and conditioning and sets you up for lifelong learning and mastery. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to learn Kung Fu in the Nova region.

Having studied martial arts in a variety of different formats and with several different instructors over the past 15 years, I believe that Sifu Dan provides the optimal environment for the cultivation of the martial arts. If one is studying academics such as mathematics or literature, learning is fairly straight forward and the choice of teacher is not overly important. However, true cultivation of martial arts is a deeply personal journey in which knowledge is transmitted from teacher to student. Each student learns differently and the concepts are often very subtle requiring a unique skill set and patience from the teacher to develop the student. One can be a tremendous martial arts practitioner, but that doesnt always translate to being a successful instructor. Those lucky enough to work with Sifu Dan will find both. While large group classes and videos may be the level of depth that many are looking for today when studying martial arts, those seeking a deeper understanding of the principles and practices that truly lead to advanced knowledge need an instructor like Sifu Dan to receive the full martial arts experience as it was intended.

I've been studying Hung Gar with Sifu Dan for about ten years, and it's been a fantastic experience. I tried other martial arts before: I earned a 1st Dan in The Kwon Do in high school and tried some Karate dojos in college, but I've never had a better teacher or a more authentic experience.
If you come for a sash or a certificate, you'll be disappointed. What you'll find instead will be deep teaching, years of hard work, and the kind of insight that comes from dedicated self-cultivation.
(You'll learn some pretty sweet Kung Fu moves, too.)
