From the reviews
My teenage son has been attending Tai Chi classes with Mr. Solito for one year now. Tai Chi seems to be predominately practiced by slightly older people and he was having trouble finding a setting where he felt comfortable. Rothrock's in Wexford was just the right fit for him. It has a very nice, zen atmosphere, Mr.
As a former martial artist, I was looking for a way to reconnect with the discipline, mindfulness, and physical growth that martial arts offer. Enter Rothrock's Kung Fu and Tai Chi, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience.
Tai Chi at Rothrock's is the Best !!! I am over 60 and the benefits of stretching, breathing, and overall movement is so helpful. Instructor Mike Solito is so kind and encouraging. Time spent at Rothrock's is the highlight of my day!
Learning Tai Chi and going to Rothrock's has been a very enjoyable experience. I look forward to every session & practice at home daily. It's a healthy addiction.
New to tai chi? Start at Rothrock's Kung-Fu & Tai Chi Wexford
Rothrock's Kung-Fu & Tai Chi Wexford 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 Rothrock's Kung-Fu & Tai Chi Wexford
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.
