From the reviews

My son started taking classes at Revolutionary Martial Arts in August. We were experiencing many difficulties at both school and home, and his counselor suggested that we try martial arts. In the past school years time, his school teachers and I have witnessed a dramatic change in his attitude toward life.

★★★★★ — Lauren, May 2018

My 5 year old has been taking Master Buck's class for about a year and it has made such an amazing difference with his behavior. He is more polite, respectful and helpful around the house. Not only is Master Buck teaching him to be his best with his physical activity but also with his behavior. It's a win-win for us.

★★★★★ — Adam, Oct 2014

I am grateful to have such a well organized and family friendly martial arts program for my son. The program is consistent and designed for every age and students limits.

★★★★★ — Sandy, Oct 2014

A bit of an unconventional review here. My wife and I regularly used the Friday night date night program and Master Buck would watch our two young children for several hours at the dojo. One such Friday this allowed me the chance to propose to her.

New to tai chi? Start at Revolutionary Martial Arts & Fitness

Revolutionary Martial Arts & Fitness 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 Revolutionary Martial Arts & Fitness

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.
