Outstanding instructors, exceptional training courses, and great trainers. I learned so much from Dr. Sobel for the past years. His teaching and philosophy are so inspiring and motivating. Highly recommend the Academy of Traditional Asian Fighting Arts!

Great instructors, great curriculum, friendly students - just a great environment to learn and grow. The Pentjak Silat taught here is hard to find on the East Coast, so count yourself lucky it's in your backyard. And the Shingitai Jujitsu and MMA is a blast.

Not always the case in the world of Martial Arts gyms.
