From the reviews
I had been searching for a local martial arts school for some time that offered a variety of forms to learn, and I found it at Amalgam Martial Academy. Both my son and I attend and we can’t be happier with the classes.
I have been attending this academy for over a year now. The instructors are very knowledgeable in their area of expertise. Our instructor is Mr Frank D. He is working with us. We are working on belt curriculum. We enjoy attending his classes.
Such an amazing School! Knowledgeable Teachers and Instructors that know a lot about different forms of Martial Arts. The price is very fair for what you receive.

New to tai chi? Start at Amalgam Martial Academy
Amalgam Martial Academy 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 Amalgam Martial Academy
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.
