I wholeheartedly recommend Shifu Gao for his exceptional expertise in both traditional and…read morecontemporary Chinese martial arts. With numerous world Wushu championships in weapons and forms to his name, his skills are truly world-class. You can witness his amazing abilities firsthand on his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@mastersengao. Shifu Gao is extremely knowledgeable about Chinese martial arts. I made the deliberate choice to train with him over other martial arts instructors or schools due to the extreme depth and breadth of his knowledge and skills. I've been a student of Wushu at his academy since its inception in 2014, starting at the age of 70. Aside from the Taichi students, most of the students are kids. I get a good workout each time in class. Wushu training helps me sustain, and even improve, coordination, balance, flexibility, strength, cardio-vascular function, metabolic health, body weight, can-do attitude, determination, and cheerfulness. Also, fighting ability. It helps me to stay young. Training alongside young students is an enjoyable and invigorating experience, which also helps me to stay young. Shifu Gao is good teacher. Many of his students have won medals in domestic and international competitions. He projects an atmosphere of discipline that strikes a balance between traditional Chinese (too harsh) and contemporary American (too reluctant to criticize). Shifu Gao is generous with praise, ensuring that students receive a fair share of positive reinforcement alongside constructive criticism. Ohio is very fortunate to have a martial arts teacher of Shifu Gao's caliber. I enthusiastically recommend Ohio Wushu Academy for students of any age from 5 to 105.

I went to WiseWays this morning with a friend for an Easy Flow Yoga class. As it was my first time…read morethere, the instructor Julie was extremely helpful in getting my friend and me set up After filling out the necessary paperwork, we went into the yoga room. It's probably one of the coolest yoga spaces I've seen. The room is dimly lit with only natural light, the ceiling has drape-y things hanging from it, there are several woven baskets with mats and yoga props, and there are even bongos situated in the room! It definitely helped set the mood of the class. The teacher took the time to explain the set up and flow of the class to me and my friend. The set up was different for me. The class started with self-massage. I've never experienced that before, and while it was a foreign concept to me, I enjoyed it. During the self-massage, we were given some aromatherapy cream, which was awesome. I love smelling hippy smells like pachouli during yoga. It makes me feel more calm. The class was an hour and 15 minutes - definitely a great value! We went through gentle and modified versions of the sun salutation and many other common yoga poses. I enjoyed the gentle stretch and relaxation to start my weekend. But since I am more experienced in yoga, I wish it were a bit more vigorous. To be fair, though, I need to try the other two types of classes, as the Easy Flow is meant to be...well, easy. The only thing I disliked was that the class was only 3 people large. I enjoy bigger classes because I feed off of the energy of others in the class. I also have a feeling that most folks don't know about this place. If you're not interested in yoga, they also have tai chi classes. I recommend it and will be back!

With a year-long unlimited membership pass, I am pretty familiar with Wiseways/Shift yoga. (They…read morechanged owners and the name to Shift in January '13.) Upside: super friendly staff and fellow yoga lovers. Big enough parking lot and its kind of hidden around the corner. Wonderful, relaxing classes. Downsides: Sort of a small space, so right after they do a Groupon or something it can get grossly crowded for a week or two. Very limited weekend classes: none on Fridays or Sundays, and only one on Saturday at 8:30a. Pretty inconvenient if you have a regular 9-5. Also if you're under 30 you'll be the youngest in the class.

The Forms and Drills go hand in hand on translating what the forms mean and why to practice them. It's not just to learn the form, rather apply the information that's contained with in it. Master Mollica also explains the benefits of the different styles taught at his school and can help students choose that is best for them. Whether it is just for knowledge, culture of to compete in Full Contact or Traditional Chinese Grappling. Master Mollica can help any student reach their individual goals and maybe even stretch into areas they did not know they would find interest in.
