From the reviews

My daughter & I joined Kung Fu for Christ Academy about 8 months ago, at that time I was out of shape 226 lbs but Now I'm down to 204 lbs and losing more daily. my daughter 8 years old and I am 58 years old and we will be testing for our green belts in 2 weeks. Our teacher (Shifu) hands down just plain AWESOME!!

I have 2 boys who attends Kung Fu for christ they both enjoy the class and lessons that Shifu teaches. Shifu is so patient and kind with the students. My oldest son has come out of his Shy shell since attending this class. highly recommended for all kids and adults. Thank you Shifu for being such a great leader of god.

Your first tai chi class at Kung Fu for Christ 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.

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.
