It has been amazing to see her grow in confidence and fitness as she has become a black belt. She speaks of the people of Fierce Dragon as her family and her inspiration. This is clearly a great school for adults as well as for teens and children!“

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Master Shin and this TKD center. My son absolutely loves Master Shin and looks forward to every single class.

She is not only an exceptional master, but also an inspiring and patient teacher who truly cares about her students. We’ve seen incredible growth in our son’s confidence, discipline, and respect — not just in his Taekwondo skills, but in his character overall.
We moved to another town, but we still travel back to this TKD center because it’s simply that great. Highly recommend!“

Aside from learning martial arts, it's been awesome for weight loss and weight management, I must say, not boring at all and I actually can't wait to get here every day after work. Highly recommend, you won't regret it... life changing place!“

“This place lives up to the hype the level of training here is second to none. I room of killers. So many years knowledge on the mats and it shows. I very particular style of teaching with a step by step approach while constantly being on the cutting edge of the latest and newest techniques. Yes its stuffy its a basement. They redid the bathrooms much improved. The best gym ever, Master Renzo should he happen to be there is the most charismatic man I ever met and his stories and love for jiujitsu make him the legend he is. Highly recommend.“

The curriculum was comprehensive, well-structured, and provided practical hands-on training. I feel confident and well-prepared to apply the skills I learned in my career. Highly recommended for anyone seeking quality instructor training!“

“Located on one of Brooklyn’s busiest street, you can find a small location but large in life, is Tiger Schulmann’s Bay Ridge. It does not disappoint. Try out a class for free and see it for yourself.“

“Our daughter started attending this summer, and we couldn’t be happier with her progress. The instructors are great, and the center as a whole is warm, professional, and well run. It’s clear they truly care about what they do, and that passion shows in how they work with the kids. We highly recommend this program, especially for families just starting out like we did. For reference, our daughter is 4 years old and began in the Cubs class.“

“My son, (5) is having an incredible time. Mr. Samuels is a wonderful teacher. He shows them how important focus is, all the while still providing a playful atmosphere that keeps young kids engaged. From our personal past experience with different schools, my son was not at all interested in the martial arts, but from day 1 here- he has become quickly obsessed. I am so thankful to have found it, its truly a little Brooklyn gem.“

“Great programing, staff, and trainers. Would recommend this place to any parent or to anyone looking to try something new!“

“Incredible! Everyone here, from the instructors, to the owners are humble and want to help you out. I knew I wanted to be active but was not wanting to go to a traditional gym. Glad I stopped by and signed up. My favorite part is there are other people here in the same boat as me, looking to make a change and be around like minded individuals. There’s no pressure and you are never forced into contact or anything that makes you uncomfortable. It’s nice when your “no face hits” boundary is respected. 5 stars!“

“The best, most authentic, skilled and sacred to art dojo you can go to. Highly recommend.“

“Been going here for some time. A good cardio workout but keep in mind this isn't a serious martial arts school if thats what youre looking for. Its just about burning those calories which is great if that's what you're looking for“

“My wife and I loved training at Square Circle. All the coaches are great and super knowledgable, but we particularly benefitted from Kru Rob's expertise. One thing that set Square Circle apart for us, though, was the community. There was a mix of levels, from folks currently competing to newer athletes, but everyone was super welcoming and eager to help / learn from one another. I definitely felt like it was a safe, fun place to spar, and bonus points for the beautiful space overlooking the Financial District. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to train Muay Thai in the city!“

“Best taekwondo place ever in astoria master alex and master charles and Master James are very nice“

“Sensei Zumo Is the best he has an amazing history as a champion and countless years as a coach. It’s a life changing experience to join his school totally recommend“

“Theeeeee best taekwondo center there is ! My son has been training there since 5 years old….. With the love, support, discipline, and teachings from Master Sasha, he is now a 2nd Dan (black belt ) ! The Masters at United TKD are highly skilled and want only the best for every student that steps onto the mat! I could not recommend this place enough ! More than just a martial arts training facility, the students walk away with many useful skills they will carry through life!“

“My wife and I have been clients for over 3 years now. What we love about Jeff, our trainer at Maceus Studios, is his kind, courteous, and patient personality. You meet first Jeff, the kind and decent human being before you meet Jeff, the sculpted trainer. He motivates you with a courteous firmness to strive towards your fitness goal. He keeps himself informed in health and fitness so he can impart the most tailored advice specific for you. Moreover, his fees are very reasonable. He offers two for one packages for couples and training buddies. This not only helps offset the cost, but it provides motivation for you to be more consistent when you have a training partner to go to the gym with you.

The other trainers at the gym reflect Jeff's courtesy and decency even if they have their own personality and training style. But in sum, we have no regrets about joining Maceus Studios. Thanks to Jeff and Maceus Studios, we have become more consistently health and fitness conscious.“
