What students say
“Sifu is a very patient teacher and he is always so happy to see us.”
“Admittedly I visted once so far but Sifu Starling was very friendly and their Tai Chi Instructor (forgive me not remembering his title), Tomas, was fantastic.”
From the reviews
Nice training facility learning the curriculum and learning how to defend yourself against harm was a good start thank you Sifu Starling
This place is the real deal! If you’re looking for a place to learn Wing Chun, Sifu Starling knows the art, the man is amazing. He takes the time necessary to teach not only technique but also life skills, confidence, discipline, patience, self respect, respect for others and much more.
Admittedly I visted once so far but Sifu Starling was very friendly and their Tai Chi Instructor (forgive me not remembering his title), Tomas, was fantastic. Tomas is why I wanted to immediately review. I wanted to let the other ladies know that before he tried to adjust me in any way he asked permission first.
Starlings is a great place to learn wing chun and self defense. He is an awesome instructor and I thank you for all you have been teaching me!
Your first tai chi class at Starlings WingChun KungFu
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.
