I began Tai Chi with Janna going on two years and look forward to attending each session. The guys in these classes are typically outnumbered by the female students so I would highly recommend that any males who read this post contact Janna to benefit from the training and practice, as I have. The Tai Chi Program is geared toward anyone wanting to learn to "get away" from the busyness of life and the mental "Monkey Mind" that goes along with it as well as to experience the many benefits mentioned above.

I was looking for a way to change my life when I found Authentic Kung Fu. I left a message so I…read morecould ask questions and got an immediate response. I was invited to come to 2 days of classes to decide which style would suit me. The building isn't in the greatest neighborhood and the school was ok. The impressive thing about the school was the quantity and diversity of weapons around the school. Sifu Cottrell, the owner and teacher at the school greeted me warmly. Classes were in session and Sifu took the time to give me a tour. He Started with his lineage, who his teachers were and who his teacher's teachers were. In Sifu's lineage, Ip man had taught his teacher! We sat for a while, while he educated me on Wing Chun and how Bruce Lee was the most famous practitioner. I came the next day to see Praying Mantis style, which even for a lay person was vastly different than Wing Chun. I had never seen anything quite like it, especially after watching so many Kung Fu movies. Sifu and I agreed Mantis would suit me best and it has. The instructors are top of the line. So patient, will explain and demonstrate techniques 100 million ways until you get it. I always felt supported and inspired to learn from the community of students. I never heard anyone speak an ill word or treat anyone poorly. The community of students welcomed me and I felt safe to both succeed and feel failure. Truly, I could go on and on, but there really is no greater place to learn Kung Fu and to embrace your potential.

Sifu Cotrell is the epitome of what I would look for in a martial arts educator. He is patient and soft spoken with the children. However, his expectations of their ability to learn movements with discipline and precision creates excellent students with a solid foundation of praying mantis Kung Fu. I love the fact that this is not just another "belt factory" establishment with a free uniform for joining. It is a fabulous school intended to enlighten and enhance any humans life from 8 to 88..... 5 Stars!!
