From the reviews
Our family stumbled upon this kung fu academy a couple years ago with no prior exposure to martial arts, and we never looked back. The positive energy and inclusiveness in the team here are fabulous - everyone should give it a try for physical/mental focus, coordination, strength, overall fitness.
Sacred Mountain came into my place of work and taught a self defense class to the women there. It was my first experience with any form of martial arts, and I completely fell in love. I have been attending Kung Fu and Tai Chi classes at the school since, and could not give it a higher recommendation.
I have trained in Kung Fu with Sifu Banks for a long time now at the school he learned from. He has always been one of the most dedicated, hardest working practitioners I know, and I know quite a few. I am so happy to see he has opened his own school now.
I started here several years ago with our family of 4. Each one of us felt welcomed from the start. Sifu Matthew Banks is top notch- him and Laoshi Harrison and Laoshi Walls (kids instructor) are incredible teachers. I have grown so much in strength and confidence as a result of my training here.
Your first tai chi class at Sacred Mountain Fighting and Healing Arts
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.
