Tai Chi Classes
Experience Requirement: None
“Consider Tai Chi (TIE-CHEE) for stress relief and fitness. Originally a martial art, Tai Chi is now practiced as a gentle exercise that promotes relaxation through slow, flowing movements and deep breathing. It’s suitable for all ages and fitness levels, is low-impact, requires no special equipment, and can be done indoors or outdoors, alone or in a group.”
Benefits of Tai Chi
- Stress Reduction: Tai Chi promotes relaxation through its gentle, rhythmic movements and focus on deep breathing.
- Improved Balance: Regular practice can enhance stability and reduce the risk of falls, especially beneficial for older adults.
- Increased Flexibility: Tai Chi movements involve gentle stretching, promoting flexibility and joint mobility.
- Muscle Strength and Endurance: Despite its gentle nature, Tai Chi is effective in improving muscle strength, particularly in the legs and core.
- Mindfulness and Relaxation: It encourages mindfulness through its meditative aspect, helping to reduce anxiety and promote mental clarity.
- Cardiovascular Fitness: Although low-impact, Tai Chi can improve cardiovascular health by enhancing circulation and aerobic capacity.
- Social Interaction: It can be practiced individually or in groups, fostering social connections and support among participants.

I have been taking classes here for about 2 months now. My mind, body, and overall mood has improved from doing this art. If you are thinking of taking lessons here, don’t be nervous, being here is a friendly and compassionate environment. I have gotten to meet so many nice and friendly people here. Overall, the Traditional Wing Chun kung fu and Tai Chi center is a great place to meet new people, expand your mind, and be in a friendly environment.

When you study martial arts, you get the best of both worlds. You are developing the body and the mind. With Wing Chun, there is plenty of both. In my many years of training experience, I have not had many instructors who demonstrated the patience and willingness to teach like Sifu Lou does. You are not only shown how to do an movement/application, it is explained to why you are doing it. In addition, the people in the classes are very friendly and willing to help a newbie. I highly recommend training with Sifu Lou.

Our family takes time to look for the best teachers in all areas for our children (Martial arts, music, swimming, etc.). I am very grateful to have found Sifu Lou for our children. Our children have been studying under him for nearly 1 and a half years. We tried different places before we found him. In my opinion, not only do they get the personal attention from Sifu Lou to learn Wing Chun Kung Fu but they get the teaching to grow up as responsible people, build good character and learn to be team players. Sifu Lou has a strong root learning from the Master of the arts. I highly recommend Sifu’s classes to all parents who want to find an outstanding teacher for Kung Fu.

Sifu Lou is a great instructor who takes the time to teach you the traditional true art and the history behind it. He teaches Wing Chun techniques and forms along with explaining the “why” behind each. The classes are not only an enjoyable workout that improve your strength, agility and flexibility, but they also incorporates breathing and mindful exercises that are appreciated and very beneficial.
You can always look forward to a fun and functional class that teaches you important self-defense skills.
Thank you Sifu!

I have been practicing Tai Chi with Sifu Lou for several months. Although I have never enjoyed exercising in any way, I find the hour spent with Sifu just flies by! Sifu Lou has a great sense of humor and makes every class an entertaining experience. He also has an excellent understanding of the physiology of the body and takes the time to explain why you are making the moves. I have derived numerous physical and mental benefits from practicing Tai Chi with Sifu Lou and can highly recommend his Center without any reservations whatsoever.

The Tai Chi class is excellent! I have been in the class for 18 months and my flexibility and balance have increased significantly. I’m certainly not the youngest person in the class, but I’m not the oldest.
This is a safe place to work and grow at your own pace.
Program & Pricing FAQs
