From the reviews
Let me start off by saying that the atmosphere within this dojo was very light and positive. Sifu and Shi Mu were very welcoming. And so were their students, as it was my first time visiting. Since I needed a good workout, I decided to try both Kung Fu at 6pm and Tai Chi at 7pm.
I don't have enough words to describe how wonderful my experience has been with Tang Martial Arts studio. Thanks to Sifu Tang's authentic tai chi instruction and lifestyle advice I have healed myself from a debilitating illness to super health. This is truly a priceless experience.
Tang Martial Arts Center is a phenomenal Martial Arts practice with an excellent teacher. I started going to Kung Fu nearly 25 years ago under Sifu because of some minor challenges I had with walking at the time.
My son loves learning kung fu here. The teachers are kind and welcoming, and also very knowledgable, talented, and in it for the right reasons. Alongside learning his form and other kung fu moves, my son has also learned about respect, hard work, and integrity.
New to tai chi? Start at Tang Martial Arts Center | Kung Fu & Tai Chi
Tang Martial Arts Center | Kung Fu & Tai Chi 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 Tang Martial Arts Center | Kung Fu & 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.
