“I find that work is less tiring, that I have more energy throughout the day, and that I sleep really, really good. My ability to focus, especially in times of stress, has changed. Kung Fu causes me to make healthier decisions every day.”

Ruben Marcano

“My personal Tai Chi journey has so far improved my ability to manage stress by giving me a positive outlet where my mind can focus on my body, connecting to it physically, mentally, and spiritually. It assists me in releasing tension build up from the everyday stress and empties me, so I can fill up on more positive and useful aspects in my life. I am truly enjoying the journey towards total life balance and am eager to continue to work hard daily by chipping away as much as I can when I can.”

More Student Experiences

“Prior to studying Kung Fu I overcompensated for my surgically replaced heel. This created hip and ankle issues, which have significantly improved with Wah Lum training. Tai Chi has literally improved my balance which has been a struggle since my surgery in my 20’s!”

– Brad Bartholomew

“It’s made me more confident about knowing what my body’s capable of and what it needs… now when I practice kung fu at home I have better awareness about where my body’s at and how far/how close I am to my best level of fitness.”

– Iman Gareeboo

“Kung Fu has helped me in my daily life by allowing me to have better posture and with better core strength, it allows me to not suffer from back issues, like other dentists, who have been practicing as long as I have.”

– Austin Hoan

“I have gained a bit more mastery over my mental and spiritual health in addition to my physical health. This helps in the interactions I have at home with my wife, son, and daughter in addition to the interactions I have with all others I come into contact with.”

– Aaron Michael

“I get to start my mornings practicing my forms. Helps me focus for the day.”

– Jackie Hop

“Practicing Tai Chi before meditation helps settle me down, which in turn helps me sleep.”

– Maria Demesa

“Exercising slow breathing… wakes up a part of my brain and gives me a sense of belonging to the Wah Lum family.”

– Rui Manaka

“Performance of forms in front of other people helps boost confidence by reducing stage fright and making it easier to do almost anything in front of an audience.”

– Eric Ortiz

“…I have stuck with it because it allows me to deal with stress and anxiety by channeling it in a productive manner. It has become a way to center myself and clears my mind in a way that nothing else has.”

– Daniel Taylor

“…After only a few months studying the art… I experienced a noticeable reduction in pain all over, regained strength in my legs, and enjoyed greater lung capacity.”

– Reid Carlson

“It really shows students how to be dedicated and hard working. Giving you confidence and making one realize that life isn’t easy…”

– Justin Rivera
