Master Ryan is an amazing teacher with a depth of knowledge and patience that makes this a great school. My youngest daughter has spent years in the kids program while I am in the adult classes. I highly recommend checking this school out. Great self defense for women and children! Thanks Master Ryan!
Not your average, run of the mill Tai Chi class! Very warm and knowledgeable teachers who show genuine interest in making sure their students succeed. Where yoga and pilates were too hard on my sport injured joints, Ho-I’s Tai Chi class gives me the same physical and mental challenge while protecting my joints. I have also been pleasantly surprised to learn the martial arts application of Tai Chi along the way!
I joined this studio for both Taichi and Kung Fu when I just moved to Columbus and after haven't been doing martial arts in several years. Master Shumaker and Sifu Paul are extremely friendly and engaging, and Ho-I has established a very nice community for newcomers! I would recommend for all exercise levels, especially Taichi which is done very well here and relaxing for my anxiety!
Our daughter started going to Kung Fu classes at the minimum age of 8 and we could not be happier almost 2 years later. Master Shoemaker is amazing with the kids and it's been so awesome to watch her skills improve. The whole staff are great, patient, disciplined, and teach values beyond just the martial arts. We love Ho-I!
To any adult or parent that is looking into KungFu, this is the most impressive martial arts school in the area. Across the area, there are many schools, but this school is rooted in the historical teachings of generations of Grandmasters. The lineage of a great martial arts school is so important, and many schools have a lack of this lineage. Great teaching and learning of KungFu takes time and dedication. Grandmaster Mollica teaches in an easy-to-understand, positive, and distilled way, that the years pass by so effortlessly. The Youth Classes are so enjoyable, not only for the kids, but for the parents that are watching on the side! I was so impressed, that I, a dad, joined up as well!
