Avondale Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Qigong, Yoga, and Meditation

Principled, resourceful, understanding and professional master teachers who teach a lineage of knowledge that goes back several thousands of years. They have the ability to take complex information and explain it so that I can understand and apply the life principles of tai chi into my daily life. Since 2016 when I first stepped into the Avondale studio I haven't looked back--only taking small steps forward building a healthier me--physically, mentally and spiritually. Zen Wellness has helped me to understand myself from inside out and reminded me that I am in charge of my life and I am the only one who can care and love myself more than anyone else. I will turn 73 in a week-and-a-half, and I haven't felt healthier any other time in my life. Tai chi has made me stronger as a whole person! While I already believed in many of the principles taught at Zen Wellness, the master teachers have not only inspired me to train daily, but they are right there training with me, answering my questions, listening to what I have to say regarding my own pov and needs in my life. The communication with students is always two-way. My progress is monitored and reviewed with me to discuss next steps. What I probably enjoy most is their ability to show and tell difficult principles through life stories--of their own lives--identifying with their students, allowing students like myself to choose and carve my own path. I am very grateful to Zen Wellness and look forward to many more years walking the path of standing like a mountain, moving like a river, and sitting still setting my thoughts and emotions on clouds and letting them sail out of view. I'm a very simple person--if I can do it, any one can do it, too. Thank you, ZW!!~Deb

Zen Wellness has changed my life, both physically and emotionally! I love all classes and take Kung Fu in my late 60's! I highly recommend these wonderful teachers!

Our family has been involved with this studio since 2012 when my then 5 yo son started his Kung Fu training. Not long after I started training there and then my daughter, as well. The inductors are so knowledgeable, friendly and supportive. They encourage the kids to do a little better and be a little stronger each time they train, but they also recognize that each child is unique and advances at their own pace. I highly recommend that you check them out personally. I believe that you will be as impressed as our family has been.

very knowledgable and patient when teaching

I was very picky about choosing a martial arts school for my family. Too many seem to be all about money, flashy uniforms, two dozen different belts with multi colors and patterns, and of course black belts guaranteed in a defined, often unrealistically short, amount of time...as long as you pay those dues and hidden fees.You won't run into any of that at Zen Wellness. The instructors at Zen Wellness all really care about the arts they are passing on to their students, and they care about the students being successful. At the same time they are disciplined and don't hesitate to correct students if discipline is needed. They are also upfront with all the costs. Oh and speaking of costs (or lack there of)...the instructors at Zen Wellness provide private lessons at NO extra cost if you need some extra help. In my experience that's unheard of, but at Zen Wellness you just need to ask. Actually you usually don't need to ask, because the instructors know their students, spot where they are struggling, and proactively suggest coming in for private lessons (again at no extra cost). I'm very glad I discovered Zen Wellness. If I ever have to move I'm sure finding a martial arts school and instructors this high quality will be a very daunting task.
