They are kinda cultish. I mean, super friendly and sincere...but creepy all the same. I went in with a gift certificate for a month, and only managed to go twice before getting a bit twitchy. What's cultish is the hard sell technique of encouraging you to get more involved by going to these expensive workshops they have...and getting your friends involved...
They are good with energy work, I'll give them that. But it wasn't really like yoga, and it wasn't really like martial arts, and it had little of either's benefits. I did feel good after each class, but it was soon countered by pressure to come back (even if it was so nice and sincere...eek).
I'd say...worth going to check out and get your own feel for the place, but be on guard that they may try to sell you more than you went in for.
