Frequently Asked Questions:


What is the cost to try a class?

We want to make sure a class is right for each student, so to try is free!  If you decide to join our school, there are monthly dues for each discipline (Wushu and/or Tai Chi).  There are also family discounts. 


What do I wear to try a class?

Loose fitting, comfortable clothing.  If you do not own Tai Chi or Wushu shoes, wear socks.  If shoes are required for medical purposes, please wear clean soled shoes.  Please confirm schedule and space by using the contact page in order to try a class, and we will inform you of schedule changes and pricing information at that time.  We suggest that you wear the clothes you will attend class in, please bring your own water bottle.


When can I try and begin learning? (New Student Trials are limited, please contact us)

All beginning classes (Beginning Tai Chi & Beginning Wushu) are ongoing.  If you are interested in trying a class, please contact us using the contact page.


What is the difference between Tai Chi and Wushu, which is best for me to try?  

Tai Chi and Wushu are both martial arts, the main difference is Tai Chi is more internal, the movements slower, focusing on movement of energy or "Qi".  Wushu is more external, with faster kicking and jumping.  If you are unsure, you can watch or try each. 


Which Wushu class should my child try?

Ages 7 and up should try the Beginning Wushu Class.  Younger students can also attend Tai Chi if they can focus for the 45 minute class.  It is recommended that younger students start with Wushu.  Some students younger than 7 (especially if accompanied by parent/sibling) can try the Beginning Wushu class to see if it is a good fit.  Please use Contact Page to inquire.  


Is there sparring in Wushu?

In Chinese Martial Arts there are sparring competitions, however, our Wushu classes do not introduce sparring until years of practice and students have displayed control, knowledge of applications and having respect for the art itself.  Martial art applications are taught throughout training so technique is learned correctly.


If I am visiting Bend can I attend a class, or schedule a private lesson?

For people who are staying in Bend for a short term, use the contact page to check space availability and current drop in fee prices.  Private lessons are limited and based upon availability and only recommended for students with some experience in Tai Chi and/or Wushu that have a form or style they want to focus on.  Use the contact page to inquire (current pricing is over $125.00USD+ per hour).


Are there Tai Chi/Wellness Workshops available for my group/business?

Use Contact page to inquire with the workshop you have in mind, day/times and size of group.
