Dave Gallo is very well versed in many different martial arts. He explains techniques and then shows how to apply them in real combat/fight senerios. I have been training in the Martial arts world for many years and by far Dave is one of the most knowledgeable instructors Ive had.

I love coming to practice very engaging and you can learn different techniques. Great classes and is very nice.

Excellent class tonight. Basic and advanced forms.

Sifu Dave is a really great instructor that wears his passion for Wing Chun on his sleeves. He always wants whats best for his students and is always willing to share his knowledge whenever possible. Classes are very fun, practical, and the students always create a very welcoming environment for anyone looking to learn this martial art.

Great school for both children and adults. Would recommend to anyone interested in learning real martial arts. Diverse and welcoming group of students, fun classes

I love practicing here and look forward to it. All day everyday I think about this martial arts and figure out more ways to apply it. Its very natural and flowing.

My son has been a student at this school for over 4 years. Both my son and I are extremely pleased with the school. If you want to do martial arts I recommend this school.

Learning Traditional Wing Chun has been challenging and rewarding. It challenges the mind and body. It has given me experience and confidence. Thanks to the practical applications of self-defense classes and seminars, I know if I am ever in a situation where I am threatened, I could defend myself against an attacker.

Im a parent of 2 children who have been taking Sifu Gallos classes for about a year and a half. I am beyond satisfied with the quality and quantity of discipline and instruction that my sons receive. They have learned so much in a short period of time. My husband who has experience with Wing Chun is confident our boys are learning proper skills and techniques that will benefit them in real life situations. Def. a school worth checking out!

I highly recommend Sifu Dave Gallo’s Connecticut Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy. From his expert knowledge in the traditional Wing Chun system, to his fully equipped training facility with multiple wooden dummies, heavy bags, and sparring gear, Sifu Dave runs a top notch martial arts studio that’s both friendly and professional. Regardless of your experience level, whether child or adult, if you’re looking to learn a proven martial art system with an authentic and traceable lineage, reach out or visit Sifu Dave. We’re fortunate to have him and his school here in Connecticut.

I went to this school for several months. Overall, good instruction but the version of Wing Chun taught at this school originates from William Cheung; this is not a bad thing but something to keep in mind because the Chum Kiu and Biu Jee taught here are not the same from other grand masters which are commonly taught. The instructor knew his material, open to questions with his point of view. I like the fact he is very much into the art and really wanted you to understand the concepts behind it. The students when I first got there were very welcoming, and helped me get started which was good, you want to be able to blend in, and they just did that.

This is an excellent Traditional Wing Chun Kung-Fu school with realistic street self defense training and great instruction by Sifu Dave Gallo.All students are very welcoming to newcomers and love to train hard and have some fun at the same time.This school also offers kids classes.

Great school, Sifu Dave Gallo is extremely devoted to teaching wing chun and its practical self defense system. classes are morning afternoon and evening, making it ideal for any schedule!

A legitimate, practical street fighting and self defense system with an awesome group of people.

Started almost two years ago with no previous experience in any other martial arts system and have had the best time learning Wing Chun with Sifu Dave. Since the first day I knew this was the place for me a great group of people and a great atmosphere to learn and ancient art. Everyone is welcome and is encourage to learn at their own pace which takes a lot of pressure off students progressing at a certain rate.Started looking into doing Martia Arts to loose weight, was tired of the gym and treadmill, I wanted something fun and different. Not only did it motivate me to work out more and loose weight, but I had fun and learned an effectiv and practical system.First class free 3 classes Monday-Thursday and 2 hour class on Saturday. Now offering Yoga.
