Located in the recently renovated Trevose plaza , this gym is no longer able to be mistaken for a hole in the wall. It has been moved to a much larger commercial space and the cage can be seen from the outside. Compared to the surrounding chain dojos, the pricing is ridiculously reasonable (for MUCH better training).

The head instructor, Jim Wing, is a fourth degree black belt in Shaolin Kempo and a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu under Jucão, with consistent competition victories. His son Chris wing also instructs, and has recently made his pro MMA debut. There's also the co-owner, Steve Austin who has a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, a brown belt in shaolin kempo and one amateur MMA fight. Recently, the gym has also been having guest instructors such as Chris Liguori, the pro MMA fighter, Larry cureton, a kickboxing champion and UFC veteran and Coach Mike Malinconico, the head coach of Rhino Wresling club in New Jersey.

The BJJ class is an hour long and broken up into conditioning, drilling, technique, then sparring. The kempo class is an hour of technical instruction and drilling with occasional sparring. The women's cardio kickboxing is an hour of conditioning similar to that of the fight team.

The gym is very well equipped with seven different bags, multiple sets of thai pads, medicine balls, kettle bells, swiss balls, as well as the previously mentioned cage. The mat space consists of twenty by forty feet of dollamur camo mats.

I walked by this school on a Sunday a few months back. Looks like a well run establishment. The facility looks well equiped and organized. Yes it is in a shopping center that is near death, but the area is on the upswing. I go to one to the "Franchises" that you mentioned. I would love to check it out and have exposure to another school.

Glad to hear you wanna stop in. Check out the internet promo on the website, pretty sure there's some kind of discount there.
