There are a number of good reasons to attend these classes: 1) like a lot of martial arts classes, a person’s health and confidence are expanded 2) unlike a lot of martial arts classes, a person of any age can learn and benefit 3) we learn about internal healing side-by-side with attack/defense methods 4) Shrfu(meaning«teacher») is very skilled at both group training and individual training 5) class style varies over the course of a week, so we students get a lot of good exposure– I especially like Fridays, which close the week with a healthy dose of meditation and breathing 6) we learn some Chinese, which is totally cool! I took Hsing-I as a one-semester class about 15 years ago, and I absolutely fell in love with the style, philosophy, and simplicity. If I had stayed where I was, I’d have stuck with it, but I moved away shortly thereafter. Since then, I have moved around the country quite a lot, and I looked around for a Hsing-I school very often. I finally found one here in Denver that met my needs– affordability and good quality. I could not be more pleased with what we are taught and how it is taught. Anyone can, and should, learn and benefit from these classes.
