The classes they run
“Welcoming environment for family and friends, and smaller class size allow for one on one questions and guidance, instead of the cookie cutter instruction of large McDojo schools.”
What students say
“This is a good school with a knowledgeable instructor and an effective training atmosphere”
“The style emphasizes relaxed, theory-based fundamentals, stance training, and rapid Chi Sao (sticky hands) development.”
“Knowledgeable instruction that is focused on concepts and structures and does not get caught up in the pimp and circumstance of many traditional gung fu schools.”
“There is no conditioning here in the traditional martial arts sense (such as strength training) but more so conditioning in the theory and structure of the style.”
From the reviews
Peaceful Mind Wing Chun is a great school. Knowledgeable instruction that is focused on concepts and structures and does not get caught up in the pimp and circumstance of many traditional gung fu schools.
This is a good school with a knowledgeable instructor and an effective training atmosphere
The past year or so I’ve been visiting all the martial arts establishments in Spokane to shave the rust off of my martial arts training. There is a lot to say about this wing chun establishment and the head instructor Sifu Jeff.
Jeff is an excellent Wing Chung & Tai Chi instructor. As a former U.S. Marine with several years of civillian kung fu training under my belt from other schools in LA & Las Vegas, I can very much appreciate the value of his teaching.
New to tai chi? Start at Peaceful Mind Wing Chun
Peaceful Mind Wing Chun 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 Peaceful Mind Wing Chun
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.
