My child has been taking classes here for a month now and she loves it. It’s such a good outlet to learn manners and body control. Mr. Charles and the other instructors are so good with the kids and I’ve been pleased every time we have gone.

My 4-year-old son has been attending ZRC for six months, and we've noticed a tremendous improvement in him. He's become much better at following instructions, which has been helpful at home and in school. He also shows more respect for others, both on and off the mat. Plus, his physical coordination and body control have also improved. We're so grateful for the positive impact ZRC has had on him.

My son Wesley (age 4) has been attending ZRC for several months now, he choses to participate in 2 sessions weekly. He always has a huge smile on his face during class and recently participated in his first graduation ceremony. Some of the things we have noticed in our son's behavior are increased respect and listening skills, time management, and greater physical endurance. We are grateful to Charles and all the instructors for the kindness and care they have shown to Wes and my family. Many thanks to ZRC!

Our experience here at Zhen Ren Chuan has been consistently excellent! All of the instructors are professional, inspiring and supportive of all their students. Our son has been taking lessons here for over a year now and his confidence has grown along with his martial arts abilities. I credit Instructor Charles in particular for my son’s continued enthusiasm, enjoyment, and love of learning karate. I highly recommend this studio for beginners of karate whether you’re a child or adult. I look forward to bringing my son here each week.

My daughter has been attending Zhen Ren Chuan for about 2 years now. She has grown in confidence, skill, and maturity. She uses many of the life lessons she learns in class at home. She feels challenged to not only be a better martial artist, but a better student, friend, and community member. Instructor Charles works hard to create a welcoming environment and community at his school. The classes have been well worth the investment.

So much for the art of the true human being. Charles the instructor has some weird power complex he likes to wield.In an initial phone conversation, I explained my interest in bringing in my two nieces (3 & 6 years old) during their Boston visit to try his 3 lesson introductory package to see how they like martial arts. He says no worries, we can set up an in-person interview when they're in town two weeks later. At the interview, he has a total change of heart saying he needs a minimum 6 month commitment so the 3 lesson intro package is no longer possible. He claims he just got his Pee Wee class to settle in so introducing new students who will take time to adjust would disrupt his work. Proceeds to ask the girls in an intimidating manner to repeat after him, "[his] name is Charles the instructor," to prove his point.Background context: I had called an hour before the interview for rescheduling options but showed up on time anyway which I believe irked him. I also had my 13 month old with me who was exploring the big wooden tiger and beaded curtains in the room that seems to have made him nervous. When I told him the baby was fine, I think he didn't like me telling him that.Not sure how the discipline of martial arts is making him cultivate his "art of the true human being" if this is how he engages with kids. I'm glad we found out we are not a good fit before making a measly $29 commitment with the intro package.

Zhen Ren Chuan Martial Arts is a great program I have been a student for many years and came from np experience with martial arts and have learned so much from my training about not just form and movements but discipline mindfulness patience and persistence. Instructor Charles truly cares about the growth of his students and their experience. I have grown a lot from experiences at the school. The students and community within the school are friendly and welcoming as well which makes it a lot of fun. I highly recommend this program for anyone with the ambition to learn martial arts.

One of a kind place. They challenge you with every move they do. They help you with social skills. Awesome place to go. Instructors are super nice. Curriculum is awesome. This is different then the other martial art studios. They don't just teach punches and kicks, they teach everything from Tai Chi to Muay Thai.

Both of my sons are signed up, one in pee wee and the other in juniors. They both love attending their classes. It’s been amazing to watch them improve in their balance, coordination, discipline and confidence. I can’t say enough about the instructors, all have patience and show such dedication. I would absolutely recommend!!
