From the reviews

My 5 year old has been attending the youth classes for about 6 months. I can’t say enough positive things. In addition to teaching physical skills, they make it a priority to develop leadership and character. The instructors strike a perfect balance of hard work and fun, of high expectations and gentle correction.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Sep 2022

We are so lucky to have found EvolveAll after trying several other places. We have been part of the community, Youth Martial Arts, since Jan 2020. Instructors have become great role models for my kid who is challenged and supported on so many levels.

★★★★★ — Joy, Aug 2022

Took a self defense class with Damon and it was everything I was looking for! Damon was prepared every session with things to work on, and was extremely flexible if there was something specific I wanted to work on instead.

★★★★★ — Devon, Mar 2024

My two kids have been taking martial arts classes at Evolve All for a little while and love it! Personally, I am very impressed with the instructors and staff. They are all knowledgeable, professional, fair, caring and positive.

New to tai chi? Start at EvolveAll - Martial Arts & Training Studio

EvolveAll - Martial Arts & Training Studio 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 EvolveAll - Martial Arts & Training Studio

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.

Tai chi is gentle and low-impact, but it's still exercise, and the health notes here are general information, not medical advice. If you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them to the instructor before class, and check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
