When I asked this guy about what he was doing he explained to me that he had been doing Tai Chi for many years and it helped with various body aches and his over health and well being. It was then I decided that this might be good for me and looked up classes in my area. I came across Lisa Russell Healing Arts and decided to enroll in her Tai Chi class. The class is offered in a room at the Pearl River United Methodist Church and is one hour in length. Lisa is a wonderful instructor with a calming presence and encourages each student to work at their own pace. Lisa explains the philosophy behind Tai Chi and how it will benefit each individual. Today (6/17) was my first class and it will definitely not be my last. There were 10 students in today's class which were apparently the same age as me. Some first timers and the rest more experienced. Today's class is every Monday at 9:30am but there are others on different weekdays at other locations and at other times. Low impact and high reward. Makes sense to me!

Folks, I post this as an excellent way to deal with your child being bullied. Please Please Please…read moredo your child the favor of at least investigating this place. I know many of the martial arts schools in Sullivan County and I have frankly never met a teacher like the man who runs this one. Excellent school of Martial Arts. The teacher, Mr. Belsito, is clearly invested in his students and in particular those younglings who come to his school with issues which cause them to be distracted or not do well in school, and those who are bullied. Mr. Donald E. Belsito Sr. does NOT teach kids to be aggressive, rather he teaches them the wisdom to walk away from a battle when they can, and also the wisdom to know how to defend themselves when they must. I wish he would teach his courses in the schools here in the local Sullivan County districts. In the spring of last year I brought him my youngling who was getting into fights at school, not doing well in his studies, significant aggression issues due to being bullied and a haphazardous self image. It is now November and this kid has made a 180* turnaround in every aspect of his life. It is almost surreal how the constancy of Mr. Belsito's martial arts instructor tutelage, his patience, his attention to detail and abhorrence of sloppy work, has been a major factor in my boy's life. He has made Student of the Month this year; he brings home no less than a 90 in his grades; his teachers are ecstatic at his new enthusiasm in class, his focus, his quest to actually learn, and his attention to detail. I refuse to believe it was only coincidence that the turnaround occurred as he became more intensely involved with his martial arts classes. I highly recommend the Catskill Martial Arts Academy for teeny kids, mid-sized kids, older kids, teens, and adults.

I chose New Jersey Tai Chi through a regional magazine, and I was delighted with its holistic approach to fitness, martial arts, and mind/body wellness. And my experience there did not disappoint. In the short time that I have been practicing with Harry, Paul, and others, I am learning not just the movements and breathing, but also leveraging the strength of my entire body. In addition to the physical movements, I am also learning to focus with my mind on the flow of energy and listening through Push Hands with my mind's eye. In every class, Harry demonstrates the application of those elegant moves into practical and powerful self-defense tactics. It's still too early to tell the full health benefits yet, but I feel more flexible, more at ease with my mind and body, and TaiChi is now a part of my exercise routine.

What I like is that Master Nat sets up an award program on monthly basis to motivate the children. Kids will get rewarded if they complete the tasks indicated on the sheet. Additionally, I love the atmosphere of the class very much. I enjoyed sitting aside to watch the classes. As a parent, I also benefit a lot. Parenting is not just about shuttling kids to classes, but about accompanying them and sharing their every progress, no matter failure or achievement. Master Nat is patient and cares about each child. He can repeat the same thing every day for over years, which is very admirable. It is a great honor for all parents and children to have such an amazing teacher. The best martial arts place in the whole universe!!
