From the reviews
Sifu Tom incorporates a real-world and comprehensive approach to training and instruction in integrated martial arts. His years of practical and professional experience are evident in his style of instruction.
I've been practicing martial arts for many years and have had the honor of training under Sifu Tom Lugo at Integrated Kung Fu Academy for the past 8 years. The Adult Tai Chi Class that meets on Saturday is truly a transformative experience.
Most informative martial science class I have ever attended. Being a survivor of two subdural hematomas/brain operations the rehab I have received from getting in and pushing the limit is invaluable.The doubt I have about myself and my abilities are put at ease with every meeting ( class ).
Sifu Tom is knowledgeable and calming, creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone regardless of experience. The class is well-paced and focuses on mindfulness, breathing, and fluid movements, blending the benefits of martial arts, Tai Chi, and Qigong to enhance strength, flexibility, and mental clarity.
New to tai chi? Start at INTEGRATED KUNG FU & MIXED MARTIAL ARTS ACADEMY
INTEGRATED KUNG FU & MIXED MARTIAL ARTS 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 INTEGRATED KUNG FU & MIXED MARTIAL ARTS 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.
