My two teen daughters have been taking classes here for a little under a year, and have been very…read morehappy with it. The first enjoyed it so much that she recruited the second to join. They both really like that they are being taught real-life defensive skills as well as the martial "art," and I can see marked growth in their self confidence and assertiveness. The older daughter comes as often as she can. The younger, homebody daughter rarely leaves the house enthusiastically for anything, but is always in a good mood by the end of class. They both tried classes at another martial arts facility in town, but felt that this one was more welcoming and supportive.

I have been an on and off practitioner of several martial arts forms over the past 20 years. Of…read moreall of them, Poekoelan (a form of Indonesian kung fu) is the one that I have found to be the most beautiful, effective, compelling, and mesmerizing. There are only a handful of Poekoelan schools in the entire country, and Corvallis is incredibly lucky to have one. Geoff Wathen, the founder of Golden Naga and the main instructor, has put a ton of personal TLC into the development of the school, and it shows, in the quality of the instruction and the dedication of the students. Geoff himself is an amazing practitioner, a fantastic teacher, and an all around great human being. Definitely check the school out; you will be glad you did.

I think you probably provide a good service. I just wish your people could be more friendly with neighbors. Maybe they were having a bad day, but they didn't have to take it out on me. Really horrible. Just awful. Very rude and disrespectful.

Still, I always felt welcome and received as I popped in and out, especially by the teacher who completely understood my circumstance. Having our own space now allows a more robust schedule, including Thursdays and Sundays, and this means I can train weekly. When I was new, I loved the silent tea service which is offered in the evening on Tuesday. Such a simple ritual, but so full of depth! The free lunch after sitting meditation on Sundays offers a similar opportunity to practice mindfulness while eating and moving. The best part of the practice is the personal guidance that any participant can receive from the teacher. Her words and guidance have allowed me to navigate some terrible storms in my life, and they keep pushing me to open more and more.
