Services
Our classes are best suited for those inspired to practice regularly in between classes and can commit to attending classes at least twice a week (calculated quarterly). Please note that we observe a traditional class format and therefore do not offer "drop-in" classes. Since tai chi is taught as a sequence of movements, each class builds upon the previous classes a student has attended.
BKFA is a traditional kung fu school. This means the training is based on the foundation and passing on of knowledge of many generations past. We might occasionally talk about things like history and philosophy, but in class we are more focused on the practice and being present. In class, you will slowly build skills starting with a strong foundation in the basics.
If the school seems like a good fit after observing a kung fu class or participating in a trial tai chi class, contact us to begin training. Please note, for both the kung fu and tai chi programs, our school requires students commit to a minimum of attending classes twice a week (calculated quarterly), preferably more often.
Our studio is conveniently located in the Steelyards neighborhood right off the Goose Creek Path and just steps away from the RTD Depot Square Station at Boulder Junction. We are also a short walk from the flagship Whole Foods Market on Pearl Street and the Google campus. Our private office studio is centrally located near the intersection of Highway 36 & 287 between Boulder & Denver.
