Wu Dao Kung Fu & Tai Chi: what do users think?
Henry Bradford: I'm constantly looking forward to my next class at Wu Dao. Shifu Lindsay Lambert is an excellent teacher with a broad range of martial arts expertise -- she often says that good Tai Chi is relevant to everything, mentioning principles of Choy Lay Fut, Sanda, Shuai Jiao, and other arts. The Tai Chi class environment is friendly and motivating, while also cultivating depth and seriousness when it comes to technique. It feels like the kind of training I want to be doing for a long time. I started attending not long after a surgery, and Shifu Lindsay checked in with me to make sure the training and conditioning was going well and feeling doable as I recovered. Every week I feel more and more natural in the foundational Tai Chi I'm learning, and Qigong and conditioning exercises have been perfect for getting mobile and flexible again after a period of inactivity. Soon I hope to start training in the Kung Fu classes as well. This place is the real deal!
Tony Garita: Martial arts could be intimidating for new students, but I can say that Wo Dao is such a friendly environment that you will love to train and learn, besides that our instructor is amazing patient explain step-by-step inspire you to come back next class!! give it a try it’s life-changing.Tony
Junyi Yang: Best teacher! I’m not very good at sports but here I really enjoyed learning martial arts and I gradually build my muscles and confidence.
Liesbeth van den Berg: I have been studying kung fu at Wu Dao for about 11 years now, and coming to class several times a week is still something I prioritize over everything save life-threatening emergencies.Lindsay has been a wonderful teacher, with both a deep and wide knowledge of the various aspects of Chinese martial arts, from kicking, punching, blocking and locking to throwing. She keeps it varied and fun while at the same time making sure we absolutely nail the foundations such as stances, breathing, and posture.Studying at Wu Dao has kept me fit, strong, and de-stressed!
Carolyn Wilkins: I have been a faithful student of Tai Chi at Wu Dao for over ten years. I have learned so much! Lindsay is a wonderful teacher - knowledgeable, clear, and very patient. She fosters a supportive learning environment where students are encouraged to push their limits and be their very best. If you are ready to expand your horizons and join a supportive community, Wu Dao Kung Fu is the school for you!
Naomi Dworkin: I have been practicing Tai Chi at Wu Dao for over 10 years. The quality of the instructors and classes has been consistently high the whole time. The new space in Watertown is bright and airy, and the other students make it a fun experience. Shifu Lindsay consistently challenges us with new and higher level practices, giving us plenty of time to learn the new material. She also always explains the martial art basis of the movements. Definitely recommend it for people to check out.
Shelby El Otmani: By far the best experience I've had at a martial arts school. If you're interested in developing an in-depth and well-rounded practice, you'll learn a lot from Sifu Lindsay and the entire Wu Dao community. I'm so happy I joined!
Daniel Mirabito: Great tai chi and Kung fu instruction and workouts. Good fundamental instruction for newbie and deep understanding of the art for senior students.
Bhanu Jain: I first joined Wu Dao in 2017 when I was searching for ways to train my mind and body to live a more wholehearted life; I couldn't be more grateful to have found this place! I have been a recurring student at Wu Dao since. Whether your goal is to train and participate in professional martial arts, or just to find a perfect balance of mind/body workout each week, Wu Dao is the place to go. Wu Dao is one of the few schools that teach traditional Kung Fu and Tai Chi in Boston area; our Shifu caters to each student according to their level, while pushing them to unlock their next potential. Our fellow students and members are extremely kind and empathetic, making each class not only educational but also fun! Also, the review is incomplete without special mention of our 'Sojie', who you get to play with at every class. Who's Sojie? Well, there's one way to find out: Sign up today!
Kristin Schaven: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueWu Dao classes are fun and challenging, the ability of the instructor to lead a quality class for students at all different levels is astonishing. The community of students is very friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!
Alex Stoyanov: I have been going here for over 12 years, and I absolutely love it. The instructor (and owner) is amazing and I love the method of training. This is the place to go if you want to learn self defense, or just want a place to train your body (and mind).
J N: I have been a practitioner of traditional kung fu for about 10 years. I am nowhere near being a master, but I definitely feel like I know a legit Chinese Martial Arts school when I see one. Wu Dao is the real deal! I had the pleasure of meeting Sifu Lindsay in person in August and attending one of her classes.The training methodologies are legit, the techniques are practical and feel immediately applicable in a real fight situation, and the experience is just pleasant all around.The CMA community here in the states can really use more practitioners and instructors like Lindsay. She knows how to respect traditional teachings and customs, but also bridge the gap between when the systems were invented way back when and how to train them effectively fit in to the modern world.You're not going to find a dogmatic school stuck in the past in Wu Dao.If you want to learn real kung fu in the greater Boston area with traditional and modern training methodologies, this place is definitely one of your best bets!
Sheppard Ferguson: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI have been a fan of Wu Dao for ten years. Shifu Lindsay (owner and instructor) is able to integrate advanced practitioners with beginners, unlike many studios. She also has introduced me to a variety of techniques and disciplines, broadening my practice.
Samantha: Wu Dao is an excellent school. You will learn to move fluidly, with power and grace, without hurting your body. New students will focus on stances and leg work. The instructors are attentive and will help you develop your body's strength and flexibility. The gong fu curriculum includes qin na. I recommend also taking the tai ji classes offered here for the best development of your body and mind. Correct breathing is emphasized. You will learn qi gong, and how to apply it to your movements.Unlike many other schools, you will actually practice sparring at Wu Dao with MMA-style safety equipment. I can not stress how useful it is to have the movements covered in class put to practice, in a place you can still receive feedback. This helps develop an understanding of spacing and misdirection.They also have a good relationship (discounted classes, overlap in student body) with a nearby sanda gym, Sanda Fighting Arts, where you can learn sanshou and shuai jiao -- Chinese boxing and Mongolian wrestling, respectively.This gym is a hidden gem of the greater Boston region and should be sought out by anyone seeking to become robust in combat sports. Wu Dao is a safe and encouraging place for women and queer folks, as all places should be.My only wish is that the classes were longer than an hour.
Guillaume Gallani: Lots of space (which not all dojos here have), great teachers.
Ron Nigro: Best teachers. Best students. Can't say enough.
최성환: Awesome gym!!!good good

Uechi-Ryu Cambridge Karate: what do users think?
MICHAEL BELLOFATTO: I have been a student of Tim Ford's for 4years now. I am hooked for life. Everyone helps everyone learn here. Great bunch of people I call teachers,brothers and sisters.
Bill Graham: This is a great place to work out !! Tim Ford is by far one of the best Uechi Ryu karate instructors. Tim is a 9th degree Black Belt in the style of Uechi Ryu Karate but you wouldn't know it just talking to him. As the old saying goes, " the students reflect the teacher" , Tim is a very humble man as are the students. We leave the ego at the door. All are welcome to join the class. If you are looking to learn REAL self defense then this is the place. As a beginner or an advanced student you will be working out in an all ranks class. Tim has taught us that no matter what the rank we are all students and we always have something to learn. Personally I have had to deal with multiple spine injuries in my life and it was Sensei Tim Ford , my fellow students, and Uechi Ryu Karate that has helped me through those tough times. I am a 6th Degree Black Belt , I have known Sensei Tim Ford for many years so don't just take my word for it. Come down to the East End House in East Cambridge and try out a class. You will not be disappointed . THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM. And you can't beat the price.
Jose Olivo: I've been a student of Sensei Ford for 20 years. I learned about him from a former student who happened to be my coworker at the time. He heard about my anger issues and suggested it as an outlet. I had my doubts. Well, 20 years later I can tell you I have learned so much and of course there is no doubt. I am currently working on my 5th Degree Blackbelt (Godan). Discipline, confidence, repetition and patience…especially patience will be words you get to know constantly. I assure you, if you give it a fair chance, you won’t be sorry. Sensei Ford says that everyone, including himself, is a student for life. You can be a student as well…just show up!
Daniel Belanger Jr: Have attended when he was younger and living in Cambridge great experience kept me out of trouble
Krishna Patel: A wonderful school - I joined up about a year ago, and have found the instructor, Tim Ford, and all other students (of whom I am the lowest ranked) supportive, excellent teachers. it is an all-ranks class (meaning I, a white belt, am paired with brown and black belts), but it's a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, and I highly recommend it.
