Instructors

I started attending the Blue Dragon School Chi Gung classes when I was 66 years old. In the beginning I would be out of breath after the warm ups we do at the beginning of each class. Now at 74 I get through the entire class without being out of breath although the workout can be quite challenging.  The movements are slow and you perform them at whatever level you can. The art increases your balance, stamina, coordination and range of motion. I am very happy to have found such a great school with helpful instructors. I intend to continue taking these classes as long as I am able to. I recommend this school to anyone of any age who wants to improve their health, maintain their physical abilities and benefit from the meditation which is also part of each class. 

I have found that life is full of ups and downs. On the one hand, you have financial problems, family illness, and the loss of loved ones. On the other hand, you have good jobs, good health, and good relationships. But it's really hard to keep balanced on the roller coaster.

That's exactly what the training at the Blue Dragon does for me: helps me stay centered. I get to put the past behind me, and not worry about what the future holds. After each class, or practice session on my own, I feel more ready to deal with whatever comes next. 

It's sometimes hard to believe that martial arts can do this for you. I mean, isn't it just about defending yourself? Or getting in really good shape? Maybe learning a little bit about Eastern philosophy and culture? 

The Blue Dragon has all this, but much more. It's a place to work on yourself, to re-calibrate after life pulls you in five different directions. Adults with responsibilities really need this. Where else can you put your spouse, kids, parents, job, community all aside, and work on being the best version of you? Then you dive back into your life, but as a new and improved version of you. And so everybody around you benefits.

I frankly can't think of a better type of training to get.

Friendly and highly professional staff. The instructional model is such that you can begin at any level of physical fitness and grow at your own pace. An excellent choice for those who are seeking an authentic martial arts experience.
