Services
Our Center operates Monday through Saturday and schedules classes for students of all ages at all levels of proficiency, from complete beginners seeking ways to improve their health to advanced students seeking competition-level instruction. Students at the U.S. Wushu Center pay a monthly fee which entitles them to attend appropriate-level classes as frequently as they wish.
We believe that for children to be healthy and happy, and to excel in their education and other activities, they need a strong foundation. This foundation is based upon a healthy diet, plenty of exercise, good language and math skills, self-discipline and a constructive attitude. This is the traditional Chinese approach to raising children.
Tai Chi (also known as Taijiquan) is a Chinese martial art whose legacy dates back to the early 17th century. The name Taijiquan translates as "Supreme Ultimate Boxing" and is considered the highest form of martial art. Tai Chi is based on the cultivation of one's internal energy or Qi (pronounced Chee) rather than on external physical strength.
The School offers classes for students starting at 4 years of age at all levels of proficiency, from complete beginners seeking ways to improve their health to advanced students seeking competition-level instruction. Students at the Center pay a monthly fee which entitles them to attend appropriate-level classes.
Our instructors are passionate about martial arts and share important lessons around discipline, fitness and focus - while demonstrating healthy lifestyles and a passion for their training. Students learn in an inclusive, positive environment as they improve their performance in class and in their daily lives.

I've been attending this school for years. The quality of teaching and the level of detail that you can get from this school is amazing. There are 4 teachers from China who grew up in the Beijing wushu team, which includes Master Gao Jaimin who is considered to be the foremost female Tai Chi practitioner in the world.

My wifes account, but here it is:
I've been taking classes from Master Gao Jaimin, Yu Shaowen, and the masters they have brought in, like Master Xia, for 9 years. They are world class. I started at 33 and weighed 300 pounds, I am now a black belt. I'm still the biggest student, and among the oldest, but am learning legit, traditional wushu from incredible masters. My point is, if you have any doubt, if I can do it, so can you.
Beyond that, you will become a part of a community. I have made deep connections with my fellow students, young and old, and even their parents. This keeps me coming back
