From the reviews
Zen Wushu School is truly an exceptional place to train. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the positive energy and strong sense of community. The instructors are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but they are also incredibly patient, supportive, and dedicated to helping every student grow at their own…
I love that it is not only an academy for kids, it’s also for adults! I joined Taichi classes on Saturday mornings and I completely loved it. Instructor Eazar is so professional, he cares about our poses and physical health.
Best owner and Shifus ever!!! From the latest competition.My younger son earned the 7-8 male Great Campion cup. And my older son earned the Gold Mandel by the Group competition with high score. I felt so proud to be one of the school member.
My daughter only practiced 2.5 years and became a grand champion for female 9-11 level under coaches instruction. Great coach! Great facilities!!!
New to tai chi? Start at Zen Wushu Academy
Zen Wushu Academy 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 Zen Wushu Academy
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.
