Sifu Och is one of the most honest, wise, fair and loving of individuals I know. His training, combined with his ethics are a rarity. His techniques are near perfect yet, he continues his own personal growth. I am honored to be part of this family. I have NO doubt that my growth in Wing Chun (and as a person) has been and will continue to be exponential under his teachings.

We were given tickets to the "suite" level, which is a table with chairs basically at courtside. This level comes with a very nice meal before (and during) the game. The meal was professional quality with some very good pork and chicken dishes, a couple of kinds of pasta, and hot dogs and chips for the kids. Popcorn, veggie trays, and soft drinks were also included. After halftime, they brought out dessert== a couple kinds of cake plus warm churros that were to die for. So, five stars for the food. The game was fun too. Our team won, so that helped. We were hitting all the 3's, so it was a high scoring game, which is always fun to watch. During the breaks there were the little contests for kids that everyone seems to enjoy. After halftime some guest cheerleaders came to our side of the floor and that was a bit unpleasant-- they were painfully loud and made conversation difficult. So I could have done without them, but otherwise, it was a very fun night.

We have been here several times now, both to watch the Orlando Magic and the Orlando Solar Bears (lets go Bears!), and weve had a fantastic experience each and every time. It is about 30-35 minutes (with traffic) away from the Disney resorts and costs around $35 dollars each way. They have some metal detectors which work a lot better than the ones at the Disney resort as they picked up a couple of my things that Disney didnt pick up. Once you are through security, it is a very well signposted arena with escalators and lifts/elevators, and a number of shops/merchandise stands. There are also plenty of places to buy food, drinks and snacks. There are a lot of bathrooms with good, clean facilities. The seating in the area is generous, with really good leg room and comfortable, wide seats which will suit most body sizes and shapes. They have big cup holders for your oversized American drinks and space under the seats for bags etc. It is a relatively compact arena, so, even the seats quite high up would have a decent view. Its always had a good atmosphere when weve been there, and the announcers and the Amway Center staff work hard to make it a good time. I go to watch football/soccer in the UK and i have a season ticket, and i find the American games a lot more interactive and fun; a lot less aggressive amongst fans! Id have no problems recommending either the Orlando Magic or the Orlando Solar Bears to families. If you are getting an Uber/Lyft from the game, there is a special area just 30 seconds walk from the arena to get to. If you are unsure where, once you are outside go to the Orlando Magic shop, have your back facing to the shop as if you were leaving and then just walk forward. 30 Seconds walk and you are there. In short - we love the Amway Center! A great place for a nights entertainment.

Great place for rookies and pro's to ice skate. Location is clean, ice smooth and well maintained. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Snack bar is varied and has soup!!! Wonderful ice experience in sunny Florida. Once you've had your ice "fix" step out into the Florida sun to thaw out!!!
