Appreciation Club
Do you only teach on a Monday night?
No. We teach throughout the week. Monday night is simply our main public
class.
Most of our sessions are private lessons.
Sifu Waller offers workshops for school members every Wednesday night.
We teach indoor students on a Saturday morning. Sunday morning is tai chi in the
park.
We also offer boot camps. These take place several times a year.
I learned
more from Sifu Waller
in 6 months than I did in almost 2 years with my previous school.
