From the reviews

Mine has been a very positive learning experience at Northeastern Martial Arts. I have studied Karate, JuJitsu , and Tai Chi there along with my wife and children who have studied as well.

The staff is amazing here. Our daughter has been attending classes for about 9 months and it’s the only thing she has enjoyed this long! The teachers run a great kids class. They not only teach defense but also when it’s appropriate to use it.

Long-term update: We've become good friends with the senseis and shihan. It's been a great experience not only seeing our family rank up but also other families. The monthly "parents' night out" Friday evening events are a great outlet for kids and allow parents 3 hours of freedom for errands/dates/etc.

★★★★★ — Jake, Jan 2022

Highly recommended NEMA! My son (7 years old) has been attending NEMA for almost a year now and is still loving it. He loves everything about this institute, especially his Senseis – Matt and Aaron - as they create such a fun learning experience for him.

Your first tai chi class at Northeastern Martial Arts

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.
