Usually students from age 5 to 16, we have many more girls than boys. In the adult classes the men and women are fairly evenly split. In our tai chi classes students average from 50 to 90 years old.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
We recently had a fundraiser where we are selling English bulldog calendars to help raise money
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
There are many different types of schools, so I’m very military style and others very loose in their regimentation. Find a school that fits your style. If the school tells you they’re the best system or the only system, run away. Observe classes and see how realistic the techniques being taught are for the real world.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
A student needs asked them selves why they want to take martial arts classes? If it is simply to learn how to fight, they are not the correct frame of mind to truly receive the benefits that come with martial arts training. The mind body and spirit are all affected and need to A desired to be improved. Learning how to defend yourself is very different than learning how to hurt someone else. That happens automatically but the wise practitioner realizes the more they learn the less they need to consider using it.
