Tiger Crane Kung Fu provides excellent Tai Chi instruction. Through a series of classes, their…read moreexpert-level instructors have taught me the correct way to do a Tai Chi "form," or dance-like sequence of coordinated upper and lower body moves. They point out and demonstrate martial applications, discuss related philosophy and welcome questions. In addition to the form, we have learned "Tai Chi walking," two-person "push-hands" practices, standing meditation, various "qi gong" movements, diaphragmatic & related breathing techniques, and unique and interesting warm-up exercises. Tiger Crane's studio is well-lit, spacious and inviting in a sparkling new location. Overall, Tiger Crane is a great place to learn Tai Chi. I highly recommend this establishment as well as Tai Chi, in general, for people of all ages and body types to enhance physical fitness and mental ability. As Tiger Crane's full name indicates, they also teach Kung Fu (and they do a good job here, too, as their Kung Fu students win regional tournaments.)

From the owner: Kung Fu -- Self-defense and effective practical applications are the emphasis of Hung Gar, a style…read moreof Kung Fu that originated at the Shaolin Temple in Southern China. The Hung Gar practitioner combines internal and external power, while strengthening the body, bones, tendons, and ligaments. Tai Chi -- Tai Chi is a moving meditation that aids in relaxation and improved health. In addition, the movements have the extra benefit of self-defense applications. The Mayo Clinic states, "Tai chi helps reduce stress and anxiety. And it also helps increase flexibility and balance." Lion Dance -- Lion dance involves the coordinated effort between the performers and musicians. Lion dances are performed during Chinese New Year and special occasions such as festivals, weddings, and business openings, bringing good luck wherever they go. We also offer classes in Weapons and Qi Gong

The classes and teachers are generally pretty good. My…read morebiggest complaint is the incredibly aggressive marketing. Every time I go, they start texting & emailing, a constant barrage of marketing emails. I understand they're trying to hustle, but it's not zen at all. I end up unsubscribing just to get away from the daily dings. I even feel guilty for recommending USMMA to friends because I know what they're getting into with the marketing. It's really tone deaf and speaks to this organization's lack of sensitivity to the more tender spots, which is weird for a yoga studio. Last time I was in a class, the owner snapped a picture of me while I was twisted in a pose with my eyes closed without asking. I assume it's for their marketing campaign. It was a real turnoff and in poor taste. I wish they'd find a happy medium because I'd go more often if they could.

I was intrigued by Krav Maga because of the tenent, "anyone can learn it." After years of being out…read moreof shape and overweight, I decided to give it a try and found ABD on the web. I've stayed away from "traditional" martial arts because I have flexibility issues as well, but I saw people of all ages, sizes and fitness levels doing Krav Maga. The staff and instructors have always been supportive and helpful. If an instructor notices I'm having trouble doing a certain move, they are quick to suggest an alternative. For example, I can't kick quite high enough to reach someone's waist (yet), so they suggested I aim for the knee instead. I've never felt pressured to buy anything or sign up for a long term contract. I signed up for black-belt training because I wanted too, and I look forward to the challenge. I disagree with the"McDojo" comment. In my opinion promotions should a balance between proficiency and motivation. Remember, not everyone is a natural jock or an athlete. Does that mean the rest of us who are not should sit on the couch for our lives? If you only promote those who are the most proficient, the less proficient get frustrated and quit. As with most things, it seems like a bell curve with most falling toward the center, not a line in the sand. My limitations have taken me longer to get where I am, but I still got there with practice and support. I earned my rank with sweat, fatigue and determination. I am proud of it.

Personal Best does a great job on teaching the kids self defense and life lessons. Along with a very good offense & defensive tactical program they teach the kids about honesty, integrity, giving back to others, how to handle bullying, etc. Personal Best also holds events like charity 5k runs, giving out Thanksgiving meals and so on. It really is a very impressive program and if your an adult looking to get into karate or just get in shape, this place is great for that too. In addition, Personal Best has started a Jiu Jitsu program! I feel this is a great skill for women to learn!! It will teach you how to defend yourself with a strong person on the ground on top of you. Check this place out and their other locations!
