What students say
“It's particularly helpful for me with balance and strength issues due to my central nervous system problems.”
From the reviews
AFC716 is a great place to learn tai-chi. The instructors know their stuff and spend the time and attention to get you to know it, too. It's particularly helpful for me with balance and strength issues due to my central nervous system problems.
The best hour of my week is spent learning and practicing Tai Chi at AFC716. Dan, Kate and everyone in class are warm, welcoming and supportive. I highly recommend!
Excellent teachers with a wealth of experience and a natural, coherent, and fun way of instructing. It's clear they care about the individual student, your individual journey, and your individual goals. The studio itself has an ideal environment (wonderfully welcoming, roomy yet cozy at the same).
New to tai chi? Start at AFC716 - Kung Fu, Tai Chi & More
AFC716 - Kung Fu, Tai Chi & More comes up as a beginner-friendly studio, going by its listing and students' reviews. If you've never tried tai chi, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first session. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — the movements are slow and gentle, you set your own pace, and many can be done seated if standing is hard. Second, there's nothing to buy and nothing to keep up with — wear comfortable clothes and flat, flexible shoes, and simply follow along. Third, all ages and abilities really are welcome — ask whether there's a dedicated beginners or all-levels class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most studios are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first tai chi class at AFC716 - Kung Fu, Tai Chi & More
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.
