Classes

A class for each stage

Students train with others their age and at their level. Adults and families have classes of their own.

Kids, ages 6 to 12

Stances, blocks and short forms in a class that opens and closes with a bow. Students are grouped by age, so a nine-year-old and a twelve-year-old each have a pace that fits.

  • Two age groups, 6 to 9 and 10 to 12

  • Classes of up to 12 students

Teens, 13 to 17

A class of their own, with longer forms and slow, controlled partner work. Teens train with teens and move up when the instructor sees they're ready.

  • Teens only

  • Classes of up to 12 students

Adults

Classes for adults of any age, including a beginner class for anyone starting late. We teach the same forms at a pace the body can follow, and adults train with adults.

  • No experience needed

  • Classes of up to 16 students

Families

A parent and a child train side by side in one line, learning the same stance at the same moment. It is a separate class, so neither has to keep up with the other's group.

  • Ages 6 and up, with a parent

  • Classes of up to 10 students
