From the reviews
This place is fantastic. Master sweet is great at what he does. He has great passion for the art. He takes this very serious, yet at the same time he still keeps it fun. He has a lot of patience for the beginners and is tentative to making sure they don’t feel out of place.
A true martial arts dojang (school)! Our family of 5 practicing here for a several years. Master Sweet is a sage and a saint and true to his name. This dojang may not display a fancy martial arts tools and gizmos, but it has the fundamentals (master and mindset) to turn a good student into a life long practitioner of…

Definitely the best martial arts school I've ever trained at. Instructors are extremely educated, professional, helpful, and kind. The building is clean and well-kept. The environment is positive and encouraging. By far, the best.
New to tai chi? Start at True Balance Martial Arts
True Balance Martial Arts 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 True Balance Martial Arts
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.
