From the reviews
The training I have received here has been nothing short of fantastic! I love the school’s emphasis on teaching realistic self-defense, the need for strength and conditioning, and a focus on the betterment of health. I also like that the school is able to teach a wide cross-section of weapons and empty hand forms.
As the name suggests this school specializes in the extremely rare Kung Fu System White Lotus. The training I have received has been excellent. This School also meets you at your ability level no matter where you are at.
I recently started at White Lotus Kung Fu. Sifu Willis is very attentive and makes sure new students get started off quickly with stances and techniques. He is also great at teaching the new material and at getting the students to push themselves.
I've only been going to this wonderful martial art school for a week going on my second week and regardless of what anyone says this school is the real deal everyone is absolutely spectacular and are great people who always offer a helping hand even on top of what they are learning our sifu is truly the nicest and…
New to tai chi? Start at White Lotus Kung Fu
White Lotus 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 White Lotus 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.
