From the reviews
Very knowledgeable staff who are willing to work with their clients based on their individual needs. I found Ben Fair and Sifu Navarro when I was looking to start learning self defense and they have been able to provide me with certain martial arts training that I don't think I could've found anywhere else in Abilene.
I initially began training with Sifu Navarro in the summer of 2015. Upon our intital meeting he interviewed me to see what my goals were, and my major concerns facing my ability to train. We instantly connected and he helped map out a plan for me to be successful.
Your first tai chi class at A Fair Advantage & Navarro's Combatives
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
