From the reviews

I have never seen more dedication by Renshi Mike and Siji at Phoenix Martial Arts. They are loved and respected by their students, and every class, they will challenge you in mind, body, and in spirit.

Great place! Teachers are wonderful! Regardless of age or skill level, they work with you until you get it. My child LOVES the days they get to go to MMA class at Phoenix Martial Arts! Would absolutely recommend to any parent looking to get their child into a fun, physically active, safe, and nurturing environment.

I attended Phoenix Martial arts tai chi class for a couple years. What I like most is they teach martial applications with their tai chi. The instructor is very good and I enjoyed my time there very much.

I love everyone there to be completely honest. As a student myself I think of everyone as my family. We can joke and have a good time, while also still staying focused and getting stronger. Over all I love Phoenix Martial Arts- Love, Emily Sharpe

Your first tai chi class at Phoenix 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.

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.
