“I have been a student at US Kuo Shu Academy for more than a decade. I had some health problems just before Covid and had to take a long sabbatical and was gone from the school for the better part of five years. I resumed my studies about a year ago and just like when I originally started the instructors and other students could not have been more welcoming. My core study has been Tai Chi but I have had the opportunity to learn Xing Yi, Kung Fu and Meditation as well. The instructors are very invested in seeing their students improve and do so at a pace that is most effective for the individual. The quality of the instruction is extraordinary and provides a great foundation for putting one’s life on a very fulfilling course. Becoming a part of the school is an incredible opportunity to learn martial arts and is also a great springboard for personal growth in all aspects of life. I can’t recommend the school enough.” Charles F.

“After researching Tai Chi schools in my area I visited

progressed in ways that I never imagined. My health has
improved. My stress levels have decreased. I've even
competed in and won gold in international competitions.” -Rodney W.

“The school totally exceeded my expectations. The instructors are very
friendly and committed to helping all students develop to their fullest
