From the reviews
Jennifer is dead on! Its been nearly 20 years since I've attempted any Martial Art and Goh's totally reminded me of how much fun it is. I look forward to every class, its the highlight of my day. I felt stronger and more flexible after one class!
I studied Kung fu back in College, and always wanted to go back. Needed a family friendly place where I could take classes with my 10 year old son. Wanted someplace with history, great reputation but not a "boot camp" style learning environment, where my son would easily be discouraged.
Goh's Kung Fu offered an amazing, safe, fun experience for my daughters. Both of my girls were incredibly shy and nervous about participating, but every single time, the instructors drew them into class and had them 100% engaged very quickly.
In simple words this place is amazing. I came here with no expectations. They have different classes from Tai Chi to Sanda with instructors that specialize in that class in particular. The instructors make sure that you learn the right way instead of rushing to try and catch up with others.
New to tai chi? Start at Goh's Kung Fu
Goh's Kung Fu 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 Goh's Kung Fu
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.
