Let me start off by saying, the previous posting about this school not being welcoming to women comes as a shock to me. I think they might be confusing this school with another one. Because of moving, I’ve attend three different martial arts schools. This school is hands down the most positive experience of all three; especially for women. I go as often as my schedule will allow, sometimes up to six classes per week, and in nearly every class, we apply what we learn in self defense which is very important for us women.
I love going to class at Zhen Ren Chuan Martial Arts Center. The instructors are passionate about teaching and sharing their great knowledge, I feel wonderful after each class, I learn something new in each class, and each class is challenging enough were I feel like I’ve accomplished something wonderful each day I attend. I’ve been going for six months now, and physically my body has changed so much for the better. I’ve lost weight, my muscle tone is becoming nicely defined, my flexibility is better and my physical strength has improved. Mentally, I’m more patient, focused, and have a far more positive outlook on many things. As an added bonus, as each week goes by, I feel more confident that I would be able to defend myself and my loved ones if, God forbid, I had to. You can’t get all this out of going to the gym. Because of the mental & physical benefits, I believe that practicing martial arts will be something I will continue to do for the rest of my life. If you are already a martial artist and looking for a new school or someone who is interested in trying martial arts, I very highly recommend coming in and speaking to Instructor Charles. If you have never done martial arts, this would be a great school for you to start. The instructors are patient and especially helpful to new students. The students in the class are very friendly. When I started everyone was so welcoming. We also love to introduce ourselves and help new people feel comfortable. After no time, you will feel like you are one of the gang as we all have a great deal of respect for one another and everyone is so friendly. This school is great and it’s something that you simply must try. You will get so much out of it!
