What students say
“Bev Gustafson is an excellent teacher.”
From the reviews
My experience learning T'ai Chi with Beverly Gustafson was excellent. At St Cloud Karate & T'ai Chi they take an interest in why you are practicing, and what you hope to develop.
Truly an awesome place to learn Tai Chi. Bev Gustafson is an excellent teacher. She takes the time to explain and relate what your doing to real life.
They care and take an active and genuine interest in the lives of their students. Although, paradoxically, as a part of the develpment of a martial artist, they do teach defensive tactics and techniques--in my personal experience, this is by no means their intended focus; rather I feel more of a byproduct, really.
Both of the Sensei at this dojo are very skilled and provide excellent instruction. For them, this is not a hobby, it is their way of life, and it shows. I have stopped in to train at this dojo, when I have time, on and off for the past 20 years and have always been welcome and learned something valuable.
Your first tai chi class at St Cloud Karate & T'Ai 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.
