Here's what our students say
“I had the good fortune to study under Dina Dayal's direction and guidance. Some of the best months of my life were spent being trained by him. He was a constant source of inspiration for me and always had a great quotation to use in response to my questions. Together, we worked out, stretched, and practised the performance, and during those hours, I learned things that I still use today. I'm really glad I had the chance to work with Dina Dayal since he is a fantastic teacher and person.”
- Vaishnav Moskalenko
"Dina Dayal is a great martial arts instructor. Our son Keshto (14) visited him many times in Dublin and took lessons on sword dance as well as other styles of martial arts. After several one-on-one lessons with Dina Dayal, Keshto decided that when he’s a little older, he will travel to wherever Dina is teaching and take additional lessons from his best martial arts guru. We highly recommend Dina Dayal's professional guidance for yourself or your children, as he is not only a great martial arts coach but also a wise life coach."
- Satya Murdoch
"Training with my teacher, Dina Dayal, has been an incredible experience. I had a chance to study the historical martial technique of spinning the chakra. I feel incredibly fortunate and happy to have had a teacher who could guide and train me to my full potential."
- Shukadev Shankier
“Dina Dayal is one of the most focused, disciplined, and positive people I’ve ever met. He truly embodies what it means to be a teacher with his wisdom and ability to explain things simply and clearly. If you learn Wing Chun from him, you will return for more since he is an inspiring instructor to learn from. Dina embodies and practices the skills and concepts he teaches. I couldn't recommend Dina any more highly.”
