I started taking classes with Prof. Szondi in the spring of 2016; it is now one of the highlights…read moreof my week. I just had a bone density test and discovered that I am no longer listed as having osteoporosis, but have improved to having osteopenia! I attribute the change to practicing ChenTaichi for the last four years and for that reason alone, I would continue practicing at home as well as taking classes. Other benefits I've experienced involve my metabolism. Being a very lazy person who hates exercising, I am thrilled that by just practicing TC, I am speeding up my metabolism...and that's a wonderful thing since I love eating. By the way, I find that this was the fastest way to tone legs and buttocks..for me it was just a matter of 3-4 classes before I saw results! Prof. Szondi is the 20th century representative of the Chen family of Chenjiaguo, the originators of Taiji. What he teaches is exactly what is sanctioned by his teacher, Grandmaster Zhu Tiancai, 19th generation of the Chen family. These are not instructors who are certified on a weekend or even in one year, but life-long practitioners who are dedicated to their art, and to the principles of Yin and Yang. I just attended one of Prof. Szondi's workshops geared for new students or would-be-students. I am no longer a 'new' student, but his workshops are always intense and I am still amazed at the complexity of this art. Try to catch one of Prof. Szondi's workshops, and I will see you there! He is on Facebook...search for Florin D. Szondi.

I was training here for about 2-3 years and loved it. If you're serious about martial arts and…read morelike the idea of training in several different styles, this is the best place in the area. Sifu Alan is an intelligent, supportive, and skilled instructor. His staff are qualified professionals, and their kid programs are great without interfering with the adult classes. They have a super flexible schedule and several different levels of membership. Some might quibble that they're pricey, but you are getting what you pay for. The facility is gorgeous, and everyone there is very positive. I know I sound like a bit of a tool for saying this, but you really do get a sense of belonging while being active there. I'd encourage you to try a demo class of each of the different styles. My favorites were Jeet Kun Do and Kung Fu. As a side note, they are one of the only places in the country to teach the Keysi Fighting Method, and if you are looking for realistic combat training against multiple opponents, this is your best bet.

AMAC is more than a place to learn martial arts; it is a new found family. As a "newb" to the world…read moreof martial arts I was very intimidated to sign up, however. Let me assure you these guys and gals welcome you with open arms. I have met some of the nicest and knowledgeable people at AMAC. If you have a question, they have an answer. Any time a student is having a hard time understanding or performing, they go out of their way to assist until you have eliminated your weakness. I personally love the fact that the staff, including Sifu, will take the time to call and check on you if you have been missing class. They really do care and this is what it takes for a leader to ensure your success. AMAC truly is an ego-free environment providing the best martial arts training. If you are willing to apply yourself, you are guaranteed to succeed and the staff/senior students will make sure you do no matter what it takes. I can personally recall multiple times that I have been training and senior students drop everything they are doing in order to correct my flaws. I feel honored to be a part of AMAC.

I am physically and mentally stronger and look forward to enjoying many more years at the school as I end my 50s and start my 60s. Under the Internal Arts system, the academy offers Tai Chi, QiQong, and several others in a structured curriculum that facilitates progression and at the same time allows the student to move at their own speed. This is the real deal. The owner, Master Mike Reid, is excellent and has owned and operated this school for many years. His superb teaching ability and sense of humor make you want to keep coming back. The other teachers (of which I am one) have been studying for at least 5 years and are passionate in helping students progress in their personal journey even as we continue our own. Besides teaching Tai Chi and Kung Fu, Krav Maga and kids Karate are also available onsite. Several students take more than one type of class.
