Yee’s Hung-Ga Kung Fu Academy

Sifu Peter Berman is very passionate about Hung Ga Kung fu. He takes the time to explain, which makes learning easier and more enjoyable.

I’ve been taking classes as a beginner there and I love it. I get a great workout and learn Kung Fu self-​defense moves but more than techniques it helps me find balance in life, gain confidence and develop awareness, at least I like to believe so :-). That’s why I spend my precious little time without kids there!
It’s a family run school and they teach both Kung Fu and Tai Chi to adults and kids (their own kids are students too). If you’re interested in learning traditional Kung Fu, I highly recommend you go and observe or try a class and see if it’s a good fit.

This place can’t be taken seriously. The staff is beyond rude and one of the instructors was throwing a fit at another adult in front of children. It’s very unprofessional.

Granted, it’s been some time since I’ve been there, but i recall wanting to find out more about this school since it was only a few blocks from my home in the Slope (this is when they were at their old location on 7^th Avenue.)
Sad to say, the phrase «you never get a second chance to make a first impression» rings true. I walked down the stairs hoping for a welcoming greeting and someone who could answer questions. What I recieved was an indifferent stare from a woman who pointed me towards the wall with the class schedule and information, who then went back to whatever she was reading. I walked back up the stairs and tossed the brochure in the trash at the first corner garbage can.
For the sake of their other students, hopefully their customer service has improved. Or perhaps they’re following the «36 Chambers of Shaolin» style of recruitment, where one has to walk across a barrel bobbing in water to be accepted.

The best traditional kung fu school around. Old school training in new school facility.
