What people have to say....

"Classes with you provide immediate 'proof of concept'. The details and demonstrations allow me to be confident in what I'm learning and cut through self-doubt and 'mysticism'. I know why something works, why it may not be working, how to get there, and why it's worth learning. There's this great balance between nuanced instruction and allowing self discovery that works for me and allows me to see results. I never thought I'd be a great martial artist or particularly strong but I thought Taiji was cool when I saw it in Twin Warriors and I thought it'd be inherently awesome to learn and a potential path to protecting myself without being physically superior. Training and inspiration showed me what's possible and let me expand my horizons and my confidence. Learning the style but also WHY it (and this school) are complete, effective, and different from the rest makes it easy to stay. There is a deep and vast well of information here and a unique camaraderie to go with it."

"I think the things that brought me to the school were related to me wanting to do Martial Arts from high school. I had done TKD for a short bit and it was a lot of kicking, but it didn't really look like the stuff I grew up watching, so it just felt kind of lame. Your use of applications and simple drills kind of connected with that fanrastical sense I had about martial arts, so it felt more in line to what I was looking for. I think if there are people who come to your school/belong in your school it's pribably people who already are hyper interested in Martial Arts, who can immediately see the practicality and effectiveness. I think something else you offer that a lot of people may not necessarily know their looking for is the philosophy that the arts are wrapped on, as well as the discussion around the techniques. It's a very casual environment too, which I think fosters learning better. I've been in the schools that are border line militant, where it's 'respect the grandmaster', 'he's a god'. And he shows up one class a month stares at everyone, says some "smart" shit and leaves. It felt kind of lame. I think people who need to be told what to do all the time don't thrive in that environment, but it's one of those "their loss" kind of things. I stick around because I want to be a good fighter, and finish the systems, learn the philosophy. I enjoy the environment and the community. The simple practicality of the techniques, and the community environment go over well."
