I searched in and around Denver to find a good Kung Fu School, and I have to say this is by far the…read morebest. I found that the other schools were very focused on profit (aka... buy our unique clothes/shoes which are very high compared to what you find online and lots of pressure to sign a one year contract), didn't have a safe/decent training facility, or weren't really Kung Fu schools. The Sifu at this school charges month-to-month and charges significantly less than other programs. Don't believe me? Check the numbers here and other places. He is also interested in teaching the art and philosophies of Kung Fu. Not teaching you how to beat people up. I actually had a school tell me I would be able to pummel people in a couple months. This isn't what Kung Fu is about. I studied here for a year before being relocated to another state and I have to say it is one of the things I miss most about Colorado.

I can safely say Boulder Kung Fu Academy changed my life. I began training because I did not know…read morehow to channel my anger and frustration, suffered from depression and anxiety, and needed a physical outlet to move my body. Admittedly I also have always been a fan of those cheesy old kung fu movies. In the end, I did not know this would be a life-changing experience. I have moved through many physical challenges, joint issues, and etc through my 8 years of kung fu, qigong and tai chi training. I highly recommend Sifu Wang as a teacher. He is compassionate, knows how to meet his students where they are at, and is a great guide and motivator, seeming to know exactly where your limitations are and how to help you understand your own body, when to push and when to rest. As a side benefit, I am comfortable in a bikini. I am grateful to have an unexpected extended family of brothers and sisters who come from different backgrounds, cultures and experiences and yet we all are in this life and practice together. I am a calmer, more balanced and centered person and I attribute much of this to my martial arts practice at Boulder Kung Fu.

I have know the head Sensei, Kei Izawa Sensei and Mariquita Izawa Sensei for about 6 years and have…read morehad the great opportunity to train with both. IMHO, they are the most skilled Aikido instructors in the State of Colorado, and probably the Western region. Seriously. Kei Izawa Sensei is compassionate, kind, friendly and really gives his students the "True Spirit" of Aikido as well as the skills. Mariquita Sensei does as well. I will say that Aikikai Tanshinjuku is absolutely NOT a "McDojo"...when you progress (and you will), you go forward knowing that you've earned it, and that your progression reflects the skilla you've learned. This is not a dojo designed to "break you into submission"...it is challenging, yes, but never designed to injure or belittle any student at any level. TRAIN HERE!!

Inner Wave Pencak Silat offers something very rare in martial arts schools -- true insight into the…read morenature of fighting without advocating aggression, ego or pretension. Looking at the slight frame of the school's founder, Daniel Prasetya, one would not think he would be someone who is so adept at disarming and manipulating an opponent. The same can be said of his teaching style. It is deceptively potent, but at the same time very accessible. Prior to coming to Inner Wave, I studied several different styles of martial arts under several different instructors. Inner Wave has taught me how to bring together these past experiences and form them into an art of my own. I often joke that that Pencak Silat is my Ph.D. in the martial arts. To be less vague, the school teaches a wide curriculum from basic blocks, kicks, and punches to more advanced forms. Throughout it all, there is an emphasis on practical application of these motions and the principles and body mechanics behind them. One other thing to note is that no material is guarded or held secret. Any student may learn any material at any time, the only difference is the learning he or she will take away from the lesson. While there are belts and belt-appropriate material, this school is no belt-factory. Beyond self-defense, this school teaches breathing techniques and postures (much like Chinese Qi Gong or Indian Yoga) which encourage good circulation. There are also many opportunities to learn Indonesian meditation and healing massage. Even though I no longer live in Fort Collins, I still try to get back for lessons as often as my schedule will allow. More importantly, I still maintain close friendships to Guru Daniel and the other members of the school. If you live in the area, I highly suggest giving it a try. Guru Daniel's exceptional talent and his nearly 30 years of experience in Pencak Silat are truly a rare find in both the U.S. and in Indonesia.

Being not all that familiar with the area I parked…read moredown the road a bit (word to the wise - they do have a lot on the north side of the building) and scurried on over. The building housing the studio is quite large and contains several businesses within it's walls. Don't be tempted by the main door for the building, the studio has it's own door on the north side. Upon entering there's seating, clothing to peruse, free tea, malas, and natural deodorant. Bonus: there's a really funny book on men doing yoga in kilts. You really could spend a whole afternoon here. I checked in with Rose at the front desk, completed my waiver and stowed my belongings in the little cubbies near the changing rooms. The class room itself is just beautiful. Wooden floor, lots of windows, a small stage, and calming artwork. The acoustics are also good. Rose played some sweet jams which set a fun tone for class. Despite years of being upside down (gymnastics, acro yoga, etc.) I felt a bit like a baby horse in this class. Turns out silks don't come naturally to me at all. No worries tho, Rose was there for the rescue. She offered a variety of modifications for how to get into and out of the silks and poses. Classmates were friendly and didn't laugh despite my grunts of discomfort (who knew there'd be a surprise facial release where the silks supported my body). I'll definitely be coming back to check out more of their offerings.

What better way to discover and experience new yoga styles then going with a fellow yoga teacher & taking this awesome class together ;) I do appreciate the 'intro to aerial yoga' session to get acquainted with how things work and basically allowing your body to be comfortable with the silk and suspension. I am use to a more rigorous yoga flow and, though this intro class was pleasant & helpful, I wouldn't recommend it to those wanting an intermediate or advance type session. With that said, it was the perfect pace and difficulty level to gain the basic skills to utilize and build upon to eventually become an aerial expert. After that intro, I feel that I'm personally set to take it up a notch, though one more intro class with the girls would be icing on the learning curve cake. The space is also very welcoming. The layout isn't something I'm use to for a yoga studio but it works out nicely. It's clean and has a homey feel upon entering. They also offer many other courses and special events that may entice you. Just remember to sign up online & save yourself a spot @ the class you'd like to take. It's currently half off for first time visitors and I've also seen a great living social deal for Figure Yoga that may still be available- always a good choice if your local to this place. Definitely go on their site & give them a call for more info.

Besides being a great space to practice yoga, the instructor we had for our Level 2 Vinyasa Flow class this morning was a wonderful guide through our very gentle practice. I also learned a new technique for practicing headstands, which is always fun. Having tried a number of intermediate vinyasa flow classes over the years, the one here was a slower pace than what I'm used to. This what exactly what I wanted on a Sunday after having a strenuous workout yesterday, but I just wanted to share this with my fellow Yelpers. What will definitely get me coming back here is that Yoga Junction allows the never-expiring punch passes to be shared among family members. Yes! True story. I got added to my husband's account and now I can just use classes from his pass. Muahahaha.
