I have been practicing here for quite some time. I have had issues in the past with lower back pain…read moreand have scoliosis of the lower back. It used to hurt when I would go to sleep and was just sore all the time. When I practice Oom Yung Doe, I feel so much better. Its like the scoliosis is no longer there. But it is of course. So, I had my chiropractor monitor how I am improving. He told me that what is happening is all my muscles around the spinal cord are being strengthened and is correcting my spine. If I stop practicing though, it will go back to what it was before. So I will never stop. My chiro was pretty amazed as to the result of my training. He is also a life long Judo expert and still he was pretty amazed at how this practice is affecting my back in a positive way. My arm also used to go numb at times and no longer does. This is awesome. Asst head instructor Nate is an extremely courteous instructor and cares for each individual and will tailor your training to you. If you are serious about your health, please give this place a try. Its for real!

This guy is a FAKE master. Asked about getting lessons, completely blew me off with a delusional,…read morearrogant attitude. He thinks for push hands you need to be practicing taiji for decades, and he further thinks you need years of completely unrelated disciplines like forms, Taiji Sword?!, etc. He's a complete poser who has not developed qi, has no idea what energy feels like, and caters to an ignorant group of students who will also never feel qi. Ask him to demonstrate fajin, ask him the mechanics of neidan, how to develop anything energetic, and he will be clueless. That all his 5 star reviews are middle-aged women, no offense, should give you a clue this guy is not a martial artist at all... just some hobbyist with an ego who loves being called 'master' by people with zero skill. If you want to relieve stress and do fake taiji, this guy is likely great (as is any yoga instructor with equivalent zero spiritual/energetic ability). If, however, you want actual martial arts training, want to learn zhan zhuang, qigong, neigong, neidan, fajin, push hands, etc, he is terrible and has literally no clue what he's doing.

I decided it would be fun to try, and I am so glad I did. By the end of the 6 week series I knew it was something that I wanted to continue to learn. Tai chi has helped me eliminate stress, become more aware, and helped me gain focus in many areas of my life. Peter is an excellent instructor. In addition to the moves, he helps his students understand concepts, meditation, body alignment, how everything is connected, the concept of yin and yang, and much more.

Whether you are a beginner to the martial arts, or an experienced martial artist, we guarantee that we have a class to fit your needs So what makes our classes different? At Mt Song, we consider our school more than just a place to exercise a few times a week, but rather a "College" for learning the Martial Arts. Here, students are given a four-year curriculum, starting as freshman, and graduating after completing their senior year. Graduate students continue their studies at Mt Song by choosing their own areas of interest among the many fighting styles and weapons of Shaolin gong fu or Tai qi. This "graduate program" encourages individuality in the martial arts by allowing students to express themselves in a variety of ways.
