Class Schedule Update: Saturday Tai Chi is taking a short summer break and will resume in the fall.

Take this time to rest, spend time with family, and enjoy the season. Our instructors will be doing the same.

Group Tai Chi classes continue Tuesday and Thursday evenings at 6pm, and private lesson time slots are available.

Kung Fu will remain on the regular schedule.

Chuck Norris said just last week, "I don't age. I level up."

Whether you grew up watching "Walker, Texas Ranger" or just loved the endless memes, he was a true martial arts pioneer and a one-of-a-kind icon. To a legend who truly lived life on his own terms, "May you rest in peace, sir."

This is the way.

He channeled his martial arts skills into heroic roles in films like “The Delta Force” and “Missing in Action” and in the long-running television series “Walker, Texas Ranger.”
