I have been practicing Kungfu at the temple since Jan 2019. I am coming up on 3 years. I still love it and continue to grow. Since then, I have lost 60Lbs and cured type II diabetes and eliminated high cholesterol. This was my intended goal and Sifu and Tom were instrumental in helping me reach my goals.
But the Temple of Kungfu is more than… that. It's about personal growth, being your best self, mentally, spiritually and physically. Your Kungfu travels with you. The Taoist lessons learned apply to everyday life. I am equipped with an array of skills and tools that I apply daily. It's about

I've walked by many times to see kids enjoying martial arts classes here. I've thought my own kids would enjoy, although sadly the times of the classes for their ages have never quite worked out for our busy schedules. Perhaps one day!
I recently planned a scavenger hunt for my daughter's birthday party and was thinking a mini martial arts class may be fun. However, when I looked at their website I noticed they had virtual reality, which I knew would be an even bigger hit among the 3rd grade girls.
I set up a virtual reality station w/ Richard for the scav hunt and it was the highlight

Went to the mall, found the site closed down. No info. We performed a background check on the owner in an effort to seek information. Needless to say we uncovered a rather salacious history. It's unconscionable that the mall would allow such an individual a retail martial arts establishment upon their premise. It's difficult to imagine the few positive reviews are honest. Buyer beware. Check for yourself prior to engaging this individual, the owner Mr. Baron.

5 stars My son has been taking Kung Fu here for almost 8 months and it has been very rewarding. My son looks forward to going twice a week and he has learned discipline & focus and he has gained confidence and strength. His teachers are amazing mentors and I look forward to seeing all of the positive ways that it will continue to provide him with balance and confidence.

It is so nice to be able to find the right setting for our son who works with Master Charles. Our son who is an amazing child but needs special attention since he is high functioning autistic is learned so much in the short time we have been at Temple of Kung Fu. He has been able to learn direction, discipline, and most of all has so much fun. We are beyond thrilled and thankful for being a part of this program.

We went to inquire about lessons and found the place locked up. It was disappointing to learn this business doesn't adhere to mall hours. However, upon speaking to some people in the know from other martial arts venues we learned of the owner's past and decided on Krav Maga. It all worked out for the best for my family.

I have been training here for 3 months and I couldn't be happier ! This is my home away from home . Sifu Richard and Tom are great instructors who truly care about seeing their students succeed in all areas of their lives . Kung Fu translates to excellence through hard work. My confidence has increased since I have started training here. The Temple of Kung Fu is great for fitness, realistic self defense applications, and stress relief !

This place is the real deal. Since beginning my training with sifu Rich I have grown in every aspect of my life. This really is a kung fu family. I highly recommend kung fu power to anyone looking not just to learn to fight, but to embark on a life long amazing journey to become the person you were truly meant to become.

I was in the process of looking for a martial art to study and happened to drive by the sign for Kung Fu Power. When I got home I emailed Sifu Rich and received a response the next day. I set up an appointment for a free introductory lesson a couple of days later. When I got there I was warmly greeted by Sifu Rich. He began to teach me some basic moves and some of the philosophy behind this style of Kung Fu. I was instantly hooked. Since then I have been training religiously with Sifu Rich, Tom, and the rest of the students at Kung Fu Power. 2 months later I have dropped 10 pounds, my strength

My friend got me a groupon this Christmas for tai chi lessons. I had a bad knees injury in January (nothing epic, simply got trapped on my own shoelace and fell on asphalt). So, it took me for ever to finally be able to use it. But I finally did, turns out my knees haven't healed properly. So I can't continue. But I feel horrible. I already like everyone there. Richard and Tom are very passionate and patient teachers. And the rest of the group too... The learning is fun and inspiring. So, I saw their review on yelp and was so surprised-one very very negative comment. I even followed to
