From the reviews
From the moment my son was able to talk he told me he wanted to do kung fu. I took him to check out Tomizakis Champions Kung Fu and he immediately loved it 😍 He also was able to participate in the Chinese New Year celebration with his lion box! He is currently enjoying the grasshopper class!
In 2010 at the age of 55 I became bored with going to the gym and with my son decided to join Tomizaki's Champions Kung Fu school in Concord. The only thing I knew about Kung Fu at the time was the TV show back in the 70's and Of course Bruce Lee.
My sons have been members for the past three years and i can safely say that it has been nothing but an amazing experience for them. The care and attention they have received from their very first day has been superb.
Attended a self-defense course here ("Empowerment") and could not recommend it more highly. Class is taught in a smart, positive way, with lots of practical advice. Teachers are excellent - clear and direct, but also kind and encouraging. Plus, it was fun!
New to tai chi? Start at Tomizaki's Champions Kung Fu
Tomizaki's Champions Kung Fu 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 Tomizaki's Champions Kung Fu
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.
