“I’ve been a student here for a little over five years and have loved every minute of it. Coach Tara and Professor Carlos run an incredible school. They are patient, caring, and always willing to take the time to walk you through anything you’re struggling with. Both are extremely approachable and never make you feel uncomfortable for asking questions.
The atmosphere here is unmatched — the vibes are great, the music keeps the energy up, and the community is full of professors, coaches, and training partners who quickly become lifelong friends. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have years of experience, I can’t recommend this school enough.“

“If your child is interested in martial arts, the youth programs at Trigon are second to none. The trainers exhibit all the positive traits you would want from a sensei or coach. They combine physical fitness and exercise with uplifting messages of self determination and reflection. The bond they develop with their students enables their pupils to trust the process and reward of hard work and focus. Our son looks forward to class each day!“

“Ten Tiger Kung Fu is absolutely wonderful! The instructors are compassionate, professional, and incredibly thorough in their teaching. They not only focus on technique but also on building confidence, discipline, and respect. Both of my kids truly love and enjoy their classes.

We’ve tried Taekwondo, Jiu Jitsu, and Karate in the past, but nothing has compared to the passion and joy they’ve found in Kung Fu. This is where their hearts are, and it shows—they leave every class feeling energized, proud, and happy.

Since starting Kung Fu, I’ve noticed such positive changes in both of my kids. They’ve become more confident, more active, and much more willing to express themselves. It’s amazing to watch them grow stronger—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.

I couldn’t recommend Ten Tiger Kung Fu enough—it’s been an amazing experience for our family!“

“Our family has been part of the Tiger Shulman’s Huntington studio for 2 years. This experience has been beyond my expectations of when I first sat down with Sensei Castillo to talk about enrolling my child. At the time I was thinking ‘This will help my child face the bus bullies’. Two years later, I can see that what Sensei has given my family goes way beyond my first thought.My review is lengthy. Here are the highlights:1) Sensei Castillo is a truly gifted and exuberant instructor. His energy, wisdom and love permeate the entire studio.2) I have seen my child grow physically and mentally. This new growth is manifested in and outside the studio. In a nutshell: my child is genuinely thriving in life.3) This studio has a warm and welcoming community. And it is spotless clean.5) I was inspired to join the studio and I love it.This studio is owned by Sensei Castillo. He deeply cares about every single person that walks into his studio. This includes all his students and their parents. Moreover, Sensei expertly oscillates between his young students and his older students, keeping his energy constant and to the level of his student. Among the many valuable traits Sensei has is true genuine discipline, which radiates throughout the whole studio. He leads by example. He leads with true love. And he holds the bar deservedly high for everyone to rise and thrive and feel proud. I have seen my child become more mature and attain more self-control and self-love. This was illustrated when my child shared with me how to persist in a difficult physical game: “I kept telling my body positive things to keep going.” These words solidified our commitment to maintain our child learning with Sensei.Sensei micromanages his entire studio. It is impeccably clean and organized. His coaches are trained and monitored by him to preform like him teaching his students. He also is the studio manager, membership administrator, and schedule coordinator. The studio culture is warm and welcoming. Everyone says hi and are happy to see you. It is almost like the show Cheers, but with punching bags. And this is what inspired me to join the studio.My child inspired me to try this studio. Here is how this unfolded for me. I have been active my adult life participating in a plethora of fitness programs. At this point in time something was missing in my fitness need: a sense of community. When I first tried a kickboxing class, I felt so inadequate and weird, and embarrassed. I am a fit person, but I was surprisingly uncomfortable in the studio with other students. So, after that first class I did not go back. Sensei let me be. He was gently waiting on the mat for me to be ready to come back. Months passed by and an email came announcing a 60 day challenge. And with the mind set of “I am changing to be uncomfortable” I returned to the mat to embrace the uncomfortable. Oh boy, I stink at this kickboxing thing. I am the most uncoordinated person in the world, and it takes me a long time to teach my limbs how to move. But, in this new uncomfortable space I have found growth. And I love my adult beginner kickboxing class. First, Coach Antony is a good fit for me. He is a baseball athlete, and he does excellent explaining and demoing the moves. Second, it is at 6 am. I love starting my day punching and kicking and then I can go on with my day and not have to think about: “I have to do my workout”. And my classmates are a pleasure to train with and I look forward to seeing them and punching with them. And it is quite refreshing to do an activity that has a lot of male energy.In summary, this martial arts studio is a gem. Children and adults convey on the same mat to learn and teach the art of being peaceful, which comes when you can defend yourself and hold your ground. Moreover, this studio is populated with members that deeply care for each other and are constantly nourishing their growth as individuals in the community. This studio empowers their members to thrive on and off the mat.“

“We’ve been attending Grand Master KY Lee Tae Kwon Do for about 3 years and we couldn't be happier with the experience! The instructors, especially Master David, are incredibly patient, skilled, and supportive, creating an environment where kids not only learn martial arts but also develop valuable life skills like discipline, focus, and respect. My child has made incredible progress, both physically and mentally. He’s become more confident, disciplined, and it’s clear that the structure of the classes has helped instill these qualities. The classes are always engaging, fun, and challenging in the best possible way. Master David makes sure that each child receives individual attention and encouragement, which helps them succeed at their own pace. The dojang is clean, well-maintained, and the atmosphere is welcoming and inclusive. It's been an amazing experience, and we look forward to many more years of learning and growth here!“

“This Tae Kwon Do center is great. My son loves going. He has been going since he was 5. We saw the demonstration team at one of the Lindenhurst fairs. Started out with Tiger kids and is now in the Child program. Master Sailor and Master Alex are great instructors. Instructor Karen is the first person you see when arriving. They instill the discipline these kids need. You greet all the staff with a bow and either “Hello ma’am” or “Hello sir”. My son is currently on his orange belt. He was invited to join the black belt club and attends a nunchuck class and just received his Dedication pants. If anyone is thinking about joining they usually run a special to tryout it out before committing. Could not give enough praises about everyone.“
