Has anybody checked out this place on Broadway, across the street from Lyndell's?

I stopped by there one evening to watch them practice. They were generally friendly, interested in new people, and civilized. However, there was a bit of the bravado in the instructor, and it's *definitely* a harder style without padding. That said, during the hour I spent watching them practice, nobody got hurt.

They had (as of last May at least) the option to pay by class if you wanted to, or on a more monthly basis. The practice area was clean, but I didn't get a look at the changing rooms.

I looked at their MySpace homepage, and they seemed pretty cool. I didn't get any of the McDojo vibes from what I saw. And contracts are a no-no for me after a terrible experience I had at J. Kim's in Cambridge. As much as I would like to check the place out, I think it would be pointless since their classes are held so late in the evening. Le sigh.
