Quote from my daughter who has been taking Kung Fu for 4 years. She is 8 now. We tried, other Martial Arts schools before settling with Thomas Academy. There is no pressure to learn a form, or any yelling, just patience and respect from all that teach the classes. I take Tai Chi, and it is so relaxing and helpful for my back. I feel at ease in the classes to learn the forms at my pace. If I could give this a rating of 10 stars, I so would. I recommend this school for all ages.
