We accept students from 4 to a 102 (maybe older)! Through Tai Chi , Chi Kung, and Kung Fu, we can accept nearly everyone who is passionate about their desire to study martial arts.

What is the name of the style I’ll be studying?

Our “History” explains this in detail. However, in a way, style is really the teacher(s) running the class. It’s very important to have an easy, engaging relationship with the teacher.
