From the reviews
Really great place to learn martial arts! Learn Kung Fu with Sifu Brad or instructor Jason teaches Aikido and Judo as well. Adult classes are fun and show easy to understand techniques in response to real world situations.
Sifu Brad is a super nice guy offering kung fu training here in Lufkin. The new downtown location is amazing. Come check it out!
Took a seminar with Sifu Brad several months back at his old location. This guy knows martial arts. I always thought of kung fu as jumping and spinning in the air, but that isn't what is taught at this school.
Sifu Brad knows more about martial arts than most of the other people that I have ever studied with, and I have studied with several. He goes out of his way to treat people fairly and with compassion.
Your first tai chi class at Wind in the Pines 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.
