This is a fantastic school. Sifu Joseph Bronson and his family provide a very warm and very intense martial arts experience. I have been a student here for a year, and intend to get my blackbelt in a few more years. The philosophy at the school is that when you attain blackbelt, you are then at the BEGINNING of your path to making your kung fu into your own art form. You have your Bachelor's degree, so to speak, and 2nd degree and up would be like an MFA in Kung Fu. I'm looking forward to that.All students of all levels train together in an "immersion style," one-room schoolhouse of martial arts. This trains you to become sensitive to the styles and energy of different training partners. It's also very instructive to be paired with 2nd degree blackbelt training partners!The school year is broken up into intensive 12 week sections focusing on Joint locking, Punching and Kicking, Weapons (staff, sticks, knife). As an orange belt, I am learning black-belt level kicks and staff work.
