Rochester Kung Fu & Fitness is a friendly, welcoming place that encourages children to learn discipline and character building in addition to physical strength and skills. My son talks about class all week and can’t wait for the next one. Instructor Domenica and Sifu Paul are wonderful teachers and role models and lead a genuinely family-friendly program!

This is a letter of recommendation and testimony for one of my favorite students (Paul Gruschow) and the one and only Rochester student that has completed all of the prerequisites set forth by the United States Kung Fu Exchange licensing him to teach and promote all kung fu taught by the exchange. Mr. Gruschow has completed testing on all levels of the exchange including the rank of a Master Instructor of the exchange. He has studied with the exchange for well over twenty years and obtained an excellent rating on each level of testing. Knowing first hand, the skills that Mr. Gruschow has achieved makes it an honor to write this letter on his behalf.

Master Gruschow has proven himself time after time as a student, competitor and skilled teacher. He runs one of the most successful schools in the Kung Fu Exchange and the country. He has produced top ranked students and is well loved by his students which is evident by his high retention rate. In short, Master Gruschow produces skilled winners. Over the years, I have witnessed Mr. Gruschow raise
young children to adult martial artist with character, morality and strong ethics which has made them patriotic and productive citizens.

When I am asked questions like: Where can I find a good martial arts school in Rochester or hear that students from an Exchange school are moving to the Rochester area and they are interested in continuing their studies. I instantly tell them to go to the best school in the area the Rochester Kung Fu and Fitness school led by Master Paul Gruschow. I can vouch for Master Gruschow and assure you that you will receive the best training and the best of the Seven Star Mantis Style.

My son Adrian is learning so much and his behavior at home and school has been significantly better since he’s been attending Rochester Kung Fu & Fitness. He follows directions much better, is more patient and respectful! His focus is also much better. Because of his character development sheets he has to fill out for class, he’s very eager to be helpful at home and have a good behavior so that it can be recorded on his sheet. Altogether, we are so happy to be a part of such a wonderful family. We are appreciative of being able to take part in such an awesome experience and hope to continue for many years.
