The instructors here are beyond intelligent and talented! They are all passionate, kind, helpful,…read moreand determined. I am quite impressed with their level of patience and ability to organize every class as well. We tried their program using the promotion for 1 month. The program not only consisted of an entire month of classes but also a belt and the gee. The establishment was clean but very small. While the mat is the perfect size for the class, it does not have enough space for the parents to sit and the little space that is designated for the parents is far too close to the mat and the little kicks, punches, and loud yells. I loved the story time implemented into every class, and how active they are with the students and their families outside of class (they have weekly events that are fun, engaging, and creative!) **The only issues are as follows**: - The deposit when enrolling/signing up after the promo is $399.00. - The monthly fee is $199.00. - The classes are only 30 minutes each and I believe they can only go to two classes a week.. 1 hour of classes a week for $199.00 a month is not ideal. - Testing. The parents and the children were not made aware that they were testing for their "tip" until the day of. It would have been nice to have that information ahead of time so the child(ren) can be better prepared.

Tai Chi - I suffered a stroke a little over a year ago and thanks to all the blood thiners I take,…read moredue to previous events, the outcome was not as bad as it could have been. The blood clot lodged near my thalmus and affected my right leg. After a lot of PT I can walk fairly well despite having a 'dead' foot - the leg and foot are fine but the brain cells that controlled them are dead. Traditional Physical Therapy taught me how to compensate and retrain them. I returned to Tai Chi this January to further my abilities and enhance my balance but I just recently discover an additional unanticipated benifit. After the stroke my meds were changed which included a doubling in the dose of statins. After that, the cramps in my legs had become a nightly occurance - unbearable at times but mostly just something I would just have to stretch out. However, after just a month of Tai Chi (more likely the Qi Gong stretches demonstrated at the begining of each class) the cramps have stopped visiting me each night. I highly recommend Tai Chi for normal healthy people but for us old folk it is a gift.
