davis_squareHi everyone. I've recently moved to the vicinity of Davis Square from out of state, and I find myself lacking the local connections to discover which martial arts teachers are the good ones. My previous dojo taught Chinese-style kung fu, and as much as I enjoyed it, the practice was sometimes too demanding for my damaged joints. Now that I'm settling in, I'd like to take up tai chi in a more meditative atmosphere.
Who would you recommend, and where do they teach?

Wu Dao
Date: 2010-08-19 01:37 pm (UTC)That being said, I definitely think you should try Wu Dao Kung Fu and Tai Chi: http://wudaokungfu.com/
They're located on 675 Concord Ave in Cambridge (about a mile from the Alewife Station, less than a 1/2 mile from Whole Foods).
The instructors there are incredibly knowledgeable, and are very responsive and accommodating to your ability level and training goals. They concentrate a lot on form and application, as well as moving your body correctly (rather than looking pretty and destroying your joints).
I'd also argue that their Kung Fu is the best I've come across in the Northeast.
