★★★★★ — Oldwarriorhorse, May 2025

Wonderfully calming exercise to promote mindfulness and improve balance. While seemingly simple and effortless, there is power, strength and a marshal arts application to most moves. Daniel is a patient instructor and makes sure everyone understands the move before adding on the next section of a form.

★★★★★ — Mary, May 2025

Fantastic place to learn and train! Daniel is a great teacher. The rates are very fair. It is a very welcoming environment for someone completely new to martial arts.

Your first tai chi class at Old Warrior Horse Kung Fu 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.
