There aren’t enough words to say how special of a place we think Life-Kido is! We have had the honor to get to know Sensei Deven over the past year and we feel so lucky!
I've been studying Tai Chi at Master Gohring's school for several years. The quality of instruction is consistently excellent. The classes are always interesting and fun. With the kind of solid fundamentals we get at Master Gohring's, the physical benefits over time are actually pretty amazing.
A safe place to land. Exceptional and passionate teachers for both children and adults. I joined in March 2024 as a Tai Chi student, seeking something deeper than what I’d found with Jenny Lu’s Tai Chi on YouTube. I quickly felt at home, welcomed as part of a warm and supportive community.
