Master Gohring's Tai Chi & Kung Fu

We had a birthday party here and it was an amazing success. The kid's loved learning some moves and, most crucially, splitting a board! Birthday boy got to chop his cake with a sword. Dreams do come true!

I'm a plus-sized person who has never really loved exercise (beyond walking) and who has had really discouraging experiences at gyms, so I was feeling pretty nervous when I enrolled my 9-year-old daughter and I in the Family Class at Master Gohring's. However, I've felt welcome there since the minute I inquired with Head Instructor Durkin about classes. So far, the class is challenging without being daunting, and my instructor is encouraging. My daughter and I look forward to class, and find it easy to rally to go even on days when we're feeling tired. I love the way Kung Fu engages my body and my brain at the same time. The above review was from 2022, so here’s the 2025 update: My daughter and I are still students here - now in the Advanced class - and we still love it.

I’ve been a student of tai chi for a little bit over a year at Master Gohring’s and can’t express my gratitude and appreciation for the amazing job he and his instructors give on a daily basis. The education I’ve received is thorough, inspiring and challenging me to achieve self mastery. I started with the goal of a healthier lifestyle and ended up with so much more!

Master Gohring's Tai Chi program has far exceeded my expectations - and I expected a great program! Sr. Head Instructor Durkin is an excellent teacher who communicates clearly and can meet students on whatever level they need to improve. Classes are relaxed and fun, but the process is structured and achieving Black Sash is taken seriously. There's so much to learn and I love it!

My experience with Tai Chi training at Master Gohring's school has been amazing. Starting with the trial period, easily got all my questions answered, welcoming experience at the classes. The instructors are thoughtful and attentive, no matter the class size. I love the mind-body integration and there's plenty of plan options if I want to learn other martial arts forms. Atmosphere is structured and fun - I highly recommend this school.

Master Gohrings Tai Chi and Kung Fu has created an atmosphere welcoming for all ages and abilities. The instructors meet students where they are and have a keen ability to see each student’s individual areas of growth with ease. From building self confidence to helping young ones learn to self regulate their impulses in a group learning setting, while moving their bodies, is what has made us keep coming back! Master Gohring knows all the students and parents (families) by name and greets everyone with a smile and a hello no matter what he is working on. ! highly recommend Master Gohring’s to anyone who wants to try this all ages, all abilities activity!

We have been attending Master Gohring's school for about two years now and we love it. We began by putting our son in the Little Dragons class, then my husband joined when our son moved into the family/mixed age Kung Fu group, then I joined Tai Chi, and eventually moved into Kung Fu also. Master Gohring does a wonderful job of meeting you where you are "at". It is a wonderful environment because it is clear he loves what he does and he sets the tone for everyone. The teachers are experienced, motivational and kind. Our son is learning about responsibility, hard work, and his emotional and physical strength grows. I've really loved our experience thus far and consider it an important part of "who" we are as a family. I am grateful for walking in and trying.
