My son loves this class. It is very engaging. The teacher shows them something new at every class. Best class so far. My son is 4 years old, little dragon class. Best thing to do in a rainy or cold day. The location is on UES. I can choose the schedule through the Supreme Martial Art application.
Today was my first class at church street boxing gym and it was AMAZING&INTENSE!! My instructor was Teon, who was very hands on and attentive! He watches your every move and as well as make corrections when your doing a movement wrong which i LOVED because this was my first time in a long time.
