He also has parent & children classes...meaning us parents who typically chart our children around and then sit and wait for them to finish, can actually participate and get in some exercise too.

My daughter, age 13, (and moving at a faster pace than me), has been challenged and is learning self-discipline. Every class is different and amazing-- this isn't a cookie factory martial art school. It's a real gem, and if you're lucky, you'll find it. :)

Let me start by saying that if I could give more than 5 stars to a place, this would be it. Shifu…read moreChris and his wife manage and instruct students in this family-owned dojo. Shifu (master in Chinese) Chris is an excellent teacher. He has been doing martial arts for almost his own life, and he is very knowledgeable. He had spent 13 years in China working with different masters. As a result, he is an expert in different styles of martial arts such as Chinese boxing, Kung fu Shaolin. Following his mission to keep Shaolin kung fu alive in the US, he started this dojo in VA. Currently, they offer two free sessions to let people experience the school before joining. I joined this class after participating in two free sessions. The environment and students in the dojo are great. Everybody is friendly and respects each other. From a covid standpoint, everybody wears a mask throughout the class, and there are sanitizers for both hands and equipment. Each session includes warmup, practicing the basics, form, partner work, and meditation at the end. Shifu Chris changes the structure of the class and always has new activities and challenges in each session. After two months of going to this class, I already feel really accomplished. I am able to do basic techniques and self-defense. It had even effects on my day-to-day life and helps me to be more focused. I recommend this class to whoever is looking for martial arts or even looking for a fun and effective workout class.

The sessions have everything I enjoy --…read morestretches, warm ups, boxing, defense, individual and partner work, meditation, some qi gong... lots of variety and progressive mental/physical challenges so you're never bored and always growing. I started this class three months ago feeling very out of shape -- and as a total beginner to martial arts. Now, I feel like I have energy enough for classes, plus I'm starting to hit the gym more too and feel less stressed during the work week. It's definitely the kind of work out that isn't a chore -- it's energizing. Come take the two free lessons and try it out for yourself to get hooked too. Shifu Chris and Weiwei, who assists, are patient, thoughtful teachers who care about culture, health, and overall wellbeing. Class is always a positive, welcoming environment.

This place is absolutely amazing, and I can't recommend it enough…read more I began taking private lessons at Taichi Kung-Fu Academy to augment my other martial arts studies, and I ended up absolutely loving this place. Sunny and Justin are extremely knowledgeable and talented, and they are able to teach a wide variety of styles and techniques - lessons never get boring. Along those lines, a lot of the forms and skills here are extremely tough, but both Sunny and Justin can break things down and make them digestible and understandable. The facilities here are really nice, too. The main room is massive, and they also have an extremely well-stocked gym. Everything feels clean and professional. I'd strongly recommend checking this place out.

I took it as very expensive lesson as to the kind of business it is. And looking at other reviews, I see it seems to be a pattern. Really great school without business ethics.​​​​

This amounts to you having to pay for an entire month of membership even if you don't want to use it, which is a free charge for no services. Advertised as self defense but no real self defense training which is proven is offered.

I base my rating of 2 on professionality in terms of unjustified fees, and on the undemonstrated claim of self defense.
