My experience at Niagara Kung Fu Academy was wonderful, I can't thank them enough for the knowledge that I received, the support and guidance. The only reason I left is because I am leaving the province, I would stay as long as possible. I really, really enjoyed it, I will never forget the school, it was aswome! Honestly I only have great things to say about you, keep up the amazing work.

Thank you and I will miss you

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. It's truly a family experience.

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.

My kids and I have been going for 4 years and we love it. It's a great community with a lot going on every week. The instructors are amazing and we are always learning something new.

I've been doing kung fu here for almost four years and keeping with it this long has been the best decision i've ever made. In fact, I love it so much I go every day they are open. They've taught me self-defense, discipline, confidence and so much more all while pushing me to my best in the most fun way possible. I'm 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 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 it's taught here, is so much more than just physical skill or good fitness - it's 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.

Wonderful school! Our family has seen so many benefits, far beyond the obvious "now we can kung all the fu!". Great for establishing some awesome core values in children, for gaining self improvement tools, and improving whole health (physical & mental)!

Words can't express how much of a blessing this place has been in my life. Oldschool values mixed with lighthearted humour and a warm friendly atmoshpere. Sifu rob and his team are so genuine and proffesional.. I only wish I started years ago!

My boyfriend goes here and he's a great guy (now). Before he went, he used to be a fat dumb mean person. But now, he's just dumb.

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!

Let me preface this with the fact that I didn't 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 they'll contact me. Neat. They call me the next day to set up a free lesson. I think, "hell yeah I'd love to check it out and meet the instructors. I'm an incredibly anxious person so I'd like to meet the people to see if I'd even be comfortable learning there." I don't ask about price and the nice lady on the phone didn't feel it was important enough to discuss. I figure, hey whatever I'm sure its not too bad. let's 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, don't stop taking your anxiety medication just because you're 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 I'm 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 can't 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 didn't see your pricing on the website and didnt catch it over the phone, what's it like?" Sifu: "We still need to do your second free lesson and see what classes you qualify for and then we'll talk about that."

In my car im thinking..." I'm a beginner... I qualify for nothing. What does that even mean??" but hey I really like this place so I don't 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 don't get me wrong. It is. I'm 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. I'm 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 can't make any classes. I'm beyond upset. He then proceeds to tell me that it costs $300 A MONTH to enroll. Not to mention there's 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, it's 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 "I'll probably never see you again."

To have the balls to talk to me about ego... When you apparently only teach rich kids. I don't care how rare or effective your techniques are... You're not worth what you think you are.

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.

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.
