From the reviews

I am writing this reply, not as the son the the Instructor and Founder of Spivey Karate, but as a black belt. It is unfortunate that Ms. Rogers, who was a very promising student and worked very hard at both karate and kobudo, would write such a posting.

Mr. Spivey is a strict instructor, but these kids need it. Especially mine, it seems. They are steadily making improvements. He is patient where needed and strict when necessary. But overall, he is a really nice guy and great at what he does. Ms. Linda is super nice and very helpful. They are both great with the kids.

Your first tai chi class at Spivey Karate/Tai Chi

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.
