From the reviews
Rothrocks is an excellent place to learn the martial arts, whether it is active martial arts, like kung fu, or the soft martial art of Tai Chi. Alan, the chief instructor, takes all the time required to learn the moves, but does not overload you in the beginning.
I have been attending classes for about 5 weeks now. I love them. Thai chi is relaxing and great low impact exercise. Sifu Alan is a great instructor. Very down to earth, and patient. He knows his stuff but is gentle and humble.
My name is Ava and I’m seven years old. I’ve been taking kung fu for three years now and I am a second level brown belt. I love Rothrocks kung fu and tai chi Academy because it’s fun. My favorite is when we do obstacle course and I love doing skipping sidekicks!
I Absolutely love it here. I get a fantastic workout along with learning self defense. Kung Fu is definitely suited for women if you want to increase your strength , flexibility, muscle tone and endurance all in one workout with out lifting weights or running.
New to tai chi? Start at Rothrocks Kung Fu & Tai Chi Duryea
Rothrocks Kung Fu & Tai Chi Duryea 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 Rothrocks Kung Fu & Tai Chi Duryea
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.
