Why You Should Go: You've tried to relieve your stress and tension with hot bubble baths, squeezy dolls and a well-placed punch to your pillow. But when nothing is unblocking your chi or unlocking your knots, it's time to call the professionals at Japan House, where you can let out your frustrations or find inner calm with 20 yoga or self-defense classes. 

Why You’ll Love It: You could get fit from pounding the pavement or doing a million push-ups. But at Japan House, you’ll sculpt, tone and burn (calories, duh) while learning to punch, kick, and dodge... thus increasing your ability to defend yourself in any back alley brawls. And thanks to one-hour yoga classes, you’ll be able to relax and breath, so you can stay calm after any unexpected scrapes.

What You’ll Learn: Under the tutelage of an experienced instructor, you’ll learn the beauty of practicing martial arts, yoga, and Qigong. In their upscale facility, you’ll move and groove during sessions of karate, jujitsu, aikido, and other traditional fighting styles, or balance your mind and body during tai chi, yoga or qigong classes.
