From the reviews
This is the best school to offer techniques in multiple programs like Traditional Chinese Archery, Tai Chi, Edge Weapons, Martial Arts, Chinese Yoga and a few others. Me and my husband are lucky to be Master Kyle's students for Traditional Chinese Archery.
I’ve been training at World Pa Kua Martial Arts & Health for about 6 years now, primarily in Tai Chi, and I’ve also taken several other classes during that time. I’ve gotten a lot of value out of my time here, and it’s been a consistent part of my life and personal growth over the years.
I've been coming to this studio for over a year now and it's absolutely fantastic. There are variety of classes based on the Pa Kua (eight changes in Chinese) tradition. My experience is limited to Tai chi and is very positive. It impacted greatly on my physical and mental conditions.
What a wonderful service provided in Burbank! My 7-year old goes to the after school program during the week and absolutely loves it; he sings about it on the way there and never wants to leave! That's a 5-star in my book.
New to tai chi? Start at World Pa Kua Martial Arts & Health
World Pa Kua Martial Arts & Health 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 World Pa Kua Martial Arts & Health
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.
