Certified Seniors welcome Private lessons

Certified instruction — reviews and the studio's own info point to a recognized tai chi program or lineage (think Tai Chi for Health / Dr. Paul Lam, the Taoist Tai Chi Society, or a named family-style teacher). If credentials matter to you, ask which program the instructor is certified in and which style they teach.

Hands down probably one of the best schools to train at in this town. Very knowledge in Choy Li Fut Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Fitness, Ju Jitsu, and Boxing! You name it this fun cool place and these amazing dedicated instructors can do it all! If you’re looking for a community you can trust, invest, and grow with this is it.

★★★★★ — Rebecca, Jul 2024

I’ve been attending Tai Chi at Extreme Martial Arts in Citrus Heights for eight months under Sifu Dillman, and it has been an outstanding experience. He treats every student with genuine respect and creates a professional, welcoming atmosphere that’s a true escape from daily stress.

★★★★★ — Hunky, Nov 2025

We tried free 1 week class for my 2 kids 6 and 7 yo. They loved it and we signed up right away. They could go everyday with monthly payment, like Brazilian jujitsu and kung fu classes. I see they're getting better every week. It's been only 3 weeks since they started.

Your first tai chi class at Extreme Martial Arts Center

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.
