All classes are taught by the head instructor and are kept small and personal to ensure that each and every student receives the direct attention they deserve.  Keeping the classes small also helps to create a close-knit group that supports and encourages one another to train hard and excel on all levels.

Separate Tai Chi Chuan classes are also offered, in a similar manner.  The many aspects of Tai Chi are explored, from the health benefits, to the martial aspects, to meditative philosophies, as well as, how to adapt what is taught in class, into your everyday life.
