I have been going to Plum Blossom to learn Tai Chi for almost one and a half years. Having retired…read morefrom a 25 year career in law enforcement with numerous physical limitations and chronic medical conditions, including psoriatic arthritis and PTSD, I joined Plum Blossom to take Tai Chi at the recommendation of several of my doctors and therapists. Not knowing what to expect, I can happily say that joining the Plum Blossom family and learning Tai Chi was one of the best decisions I ever made in my life. I had always been an active person, but for medical reasons I had to change my exercise and fitness routines and my overall mindset as to how I could continue being fit and active and improve my overall mental and physical health. Tai Chi has been challenging, enjoyable, more physically demanding than I anticipated and exactly what I was looking for and needed. Learning Tai Chi at Plum Blossom has helped me with relaxation, stress management, fitness and muscle retention, balance, coordination, flexibility, being mindful and my ability to focus / concentrate. The instructors at Plum Blossom are excellent. They are very knowledgeable, supportive, caring, committed, attentive and patient. The facility is clean and comfortable with sufficient room to accommodate tai chi students of different levels. The instructors provide a motivating and respectful environment in which to train and learn. Tai Chi is a lifelong learning pursuit and it's something I can practice at home or when traveling and with no need for specialized equipment. I had always wanted to learn a martial art, but didn't have the time nor had I discovered a discipline that fit my health needs. That is, until I found this gem of a place. Plum Blossom has opened my eyes to the martial art of Tai Chi and given me more than I could have ever hoped for. I feel fortunate to have come across such a wonderful place and such wonderful people.

Looked around for some Time for martial arts lessons with my two children. The word enrolled in a…read morelocal class and the program did not seem to peak their interest.The local program was quite frantic, disorganized and did not allow for adults to train alongside children. I really wanted to find a school that offered a parents and children's class.I always wanted to find a place to train alongside my children and be in a positive friendly and disciplined environment, while learning martial arts. Was driving home and saw the sign advertising this local establishment. I signed up after watching only one class. We have been there one year and I find the instructors friendlyand knowledgeable. The facilities are top notch and super clean, which I may see that it is a bit of a hobbyhorse for me. I did not want to work out in a grungy gym with unkept and dirty equipment in brutal shape. This place is well-kept and a pleasure to attend. Everyone's take on the specific peoplein an environment may differ. Your mileage may vary on this point I am sure. But I will say that the instructional staff is nothing but professional. I honestly can't see anything bad about the programming or the quality of instruction here. This school has been around for a long time and the maturity level of the instructors really shines through. I must make a specialnote to one of the chief instructors, sifu Les McWha. I love training with this guy! Dynamic, funny and knowledgeable. He is, admittedly, quite tough when it comes to teaching, but much appreciated by my children. Everyone loves him, when he runs the class. Heis my personal favorite, although is, I think, only there on Saturdays to run the classes.
