In a recent review of USA Kung Fu Studio, one user had this to say: "This school is great for kids. My daughter has been attending for 5 years now. It really helped her with her physical conditioning for swimming and dancing. She's also able to ace all the physical fitness tests at school. She's more confident and can throw a pretty mean punch. Sifu Jaime, Sifu Chris, Sifu Young, and Sifu Justin, are great with the kids and find ways to motivate them to train. This is like boot camp for kids with a hint of fun."

Another user wrote: "All the Sifu’s (teachers) lead the classes strictly and firmly, but with tongue-in-cheek humor. This studio does not promote their belts freely, which I appreciate. If a student receives a promotional belt, you can bet that they worked hard and EARNED it. Older, more experienced students help out in the Youth classes and you can see their level of maturity and commitment to their studio and their Sifu."

Both gave the studio five stars.
