“I am so grateful, after years of searching, to have found such a complete and deep martial arts education at the New York City Shaolin Center. I had tried other schools before and left unsatisfied, but have found that Thad and the other students at the NYCSC are unexpectedly supportive, no matter what your level is. Turning 42 my body was not as responsive as it once was, but there were no judgments. Everyone's achievements are celebrated, everyone's progress is met with Thad's signature cheerfulness and positive support. I can safely say I have never had such an encouraging and enjoyable experience in a training environment before. And I have also never felt so accomplished in such a short time.

The best part is, there is an abundance of material to learn, and as opposed to a gym membership, it is membership in a discipline that is over a thousand years old. Indeed, we are keeping alive something important, and there is a great sense of pride in that, too. I feel better than I ever have, and look forward to Shaolin as a discipline for the rest of my life.”
