There are many martial arts schools in town, but I have to say this school ranks amongst the…read morehighest of them. The philosophy that is taught towards self-defense is the most realistic and applicable towards real-life situations. Sensei/sifu Paul that owns the school is definitely in his element towards what he teaches. You want to learn real martial arts, and not go to a cookie-cutter mcdojo, Boxers Rebellion is the right choice.

It is humbling to be in the presence of greatness that has been earned through blood, sweat and tears. But that's not what is the best about him or Jesse (and their instructors too), it's their humility and love for their art and compassion & care for their students! It's definitely a give-and-take because there is nothing "soft" about learning skill sets and creating a healthy atmosphere for yourself and those around you, but the respect from teacher to student and student to teacher is definitely what we need more of in this world.

Everybody was kind and helpful to each other and we became a big group of friends. All the techniques taught were genuine and through a lot of fluidity and repetition, I'm proud to say my friends and I still remember everything to the point where it's muscle memory. The instructor believed in teaching without "fluff" and he was, honestly, a great role model. He was great with both the little kids and the adults, though, make no mistake, he was strict. I also loved his stories. If I had to write about someone who influenced me (like for a college essay or anything in the future) I would pick him because he made me better at decision making and faster at learning. My life was so much better after going here, and I'm so thankful for my time here

I Liq Chuan is the martial art of awareness, and as the name suggests it has a heavy emphasis on…read moregetting to know one's mind and body. I wish I had known about it years ago, because there have been so many unexpected benefits during my first year, but this art is relatively new to the US. I Liq Chuan is like tai chi, but those who come to this class with a deep background in tai chi will be blown away by the explicit, de-mystified approach our teacher Kelley Graham provides. Part of that is because I Liq Chuan has a formal curriculum. That said, every class is different, and it has been impossible to be bored. With 30 years of training in various martial arts, Kelley uses select chi gung and nei gung exercises to supplement the curriculum, and uses his own understanding of the moment to decide what we need to advance. See www.ucbprogram.com for more on that. The studio is on Ft. Lowell and everyone who sticks with the class has been really nice. The atmosphere is supportive and welcoming. It needs to be, because this is difficult stuff!

The classroom is decently sized as well. They have all the appropriate mats, some gym equipment to include dumb bells and a bench press, practice manikins, etc. There are both male and female restrooms and personal lockers are offered to you as well. There is a drinking fountain with a step available for the kids to drink, too. They have a giant fan going so it doesn't get uncomfortable in there. Grand Master Kim is an amazing person and very good with all ages, even kids! He is the owner and has personally given my kid a private lesson, as has some of the other Masters. Grand Master Kim prides himself in the little details. Being that my kid is new, he wanted to ensure preparedness before putting him into the bigger class with everyone else, so they spend several days with a personal trainer (Master) learning ahead of time. I am not extremely familiar with the niceties of this Martial Art yet, but I am excited by their strive towards patience, quality, professionalism, and self-defense. As a parent, you are allowed to watch in the seating area by the window, or you may sit in the front room that sort of functions as a waiting room. The amazing thing about this class is that you can come every week night if you would like, and there are some weekend options available on Saturday as well. Grand Master Kim is extremely easy to work with, and very kind hearted. Uniforms are only $25 dollars. All in all, I recommend this school, as well as Master Kim and his teachers.

Some classes I have visited over the years did not focus on this the way (I feel) it needed to be. One of the things that separated this school from others I visited was that if my hand or foot was not in the right position they would move it to where it needed to be and it physically taught me how it was supposed to feel and look. When you only watch while learning sometimes you can miss the detail and not get the full power behind the technical part of the art. I would recommend this school over any school in Tucson. If you're serious about the art, this is the school.
