Top 10 Lessons & Workshops in Brooklyn, New York (NY)
It seems like most folks have a grandmother, great-uncle or some other distant relative that used to live in Brooklyn, or perhaps a friend that lives there now. In the early 1900s, it was a mecca for immigrants arriving via Ellis Island. A hundred years later, young professionals and artists left pricey Manhattan digs for Brooklyn's cheaper and more expansive space. Neighborhoods like Brooklyn Heights and Park Slope, which had fallen into disrepair over the years, were restored and reborn as funky enclaves. Walk or bike over the historic Brooklyn Bridge (or ride the subway) to Brooklyn Heights for a stroll along the Promenade and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Meander through Prospect Park and the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for a taste of nature in the urban wilds. Catch a performance at the world-famous Brooklyn Academy of Music. From the delicious Italian restaurants of Bensonhurst to the Irish bars that line the avenues of Bay Ridge, from the hotdogs and rollercoasters of Coney Island to the bagels and handball courts of Greenpoint, Brooklyn is a state of mind as well as a dynamic community. Discover why, no matter where people move on to, they remain Brooklynites at heart.

Some friends of mine invited me to take the Intro Class, and I figured I'd go and try it out. I've been living in quarantine too long, working from home, and I really needed to do something fun, and I'm really glad that I went! We got there and were allowed to choose between tree types of bows to shoot (long-bow, recurve, or compound) and they explained some of the basic differences. I went with Recurve, some buddies went with Compound, we all had fun, don't stress over this decision. They went over some safety information, which is pretty important, but they made it fun. Then we got to shoot! We shot for a few rounds and I started to get the hang of it, but then it was time for the competition, nothing like a little stress to throw you off! haha Well, a friend of mine won and the hour was over before I knew it. I've since gone back after reserving a lane (which you can only do after you complete the intro class) and I've tried different distances out. I'm impressed that the staff will help you out with your form, and give you pointers on technique. It makes it fun to learn along the way! The staff is friendly, safety-conscious, but laid back. It's a fun time with friends, or even by yourself. I strongly suggest you take the opportunity to complete the intro class, and go back for a lane rental, it's a great way to spend an hour or two! If you're worried about COVID, they do a great job. There's plastic between the lanes, and they clean all of the equipment thoroughly between uses. This is a really great activity and very safe. Give it a shot!

6. Brooklyn Wrestling Club & Combat Center
The world is changing quickly and with it, so is our fighting style. This is why Grandmaster Dr. David Furie set out to create a new system of fighting. A system modern enough for today’s modern fighter. More and more people are learning the once highly secretive martial arts. Even more people have been exposed to numerous examples, techniques and ideas from the Internet and popular films. Crime movies and spy thrillers are plentiful. In addition, people tend to be more aggressive and less patient in today’s world. Because of this, today’s fighter needs to be adaptable and modern, not only historical or ancient. They need to learn the Fury system. Today’s fighter needs to be prepared. They need to know more truth than the average person. What happens if someone attacks you or your family, whether they are unarmed or armed? What if the attacker knows martial arts himself? What if there are multiple attackers? What if you are wounded? Fury will teach you how to defend yourself against any attacker, in any situation. How to hit against different parts of your attacker’s anatomy hard, fast and directly, with strikes that will cause distinct and hard paralysis to the human body. Save yourself and your family from any possible attacks, including streetfights or simple aggression. Just because it "might" not happen doesn't mean it won't. Be prepared if you ever find yourself in a situation when it comes your way. Fury combat is a form of mixed martial arts which is used on a professional as well as amateur level. Fury will help you develop almost superhuman skills, and will teach you techniques that have never been used before. Fury will train you not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally.
