Rothrock's Kung-Fu & Tai-Chi

I joined the adult Kung Fu classes last December (2023) and I've loved every minute! I was in not-so-great physical and mental shape and both have drastically improved since I started. Sifu White, Mr. Machinist, and the other teachers are really encouraging and helpful. I wish I started years ago!

I started studying at Rothrock's in 1997 and I still attend classes 2 days a week. Need I say more? It is wonderful training for people of all ages. You owe it to yourself to give it a try!

From the second I walked in I knew I was in for a treat. Every single person is so polite, respectful, and willing to teach. Every month is a change in style so if you're not good at a particular step or combination, you won't be suffering for long. I play soccer and rock climb and the leg strength and balance I've obtained in the 3 months I've been there have me so excited to see how strong I can be when I actually get good at what I'm doing. The training is easy enough that you can do at home to practice and workout and the people are friendly enough that you will likely go in shy and alone but leave with a friend and workout partner. - Update - I've now been here for more than 2 years. Climbers who haven't climbed with me in a while compliment me on my muscle and body control which I most attribute to those very lessons which are taught in class. Curriculum has changed since I started which is refreshing so that you know they're not recycling the same techniques and lessons over and over again. I have since stopped playing soccer of which I've been apart of since I was 4 (27 years worth of experience) because I found more love and benefits in Kung Fu at Rothrock's. I can't thank or praise this team enough in Southside for the well-being they've given me these last few years. In addition, my training partner whom I met at my first lesson is now part of my wedding which goes to show the type of bonds you can have from your classmates as well. - Update - Well, google marks this as 6 years ago so I guess here I am 6 years later and still going strong. The flexibility and strength I have developed and maintained through Kung Fu has been immeasurable. Not only do physical benefits provide a strong foundation but the mental fortitude also allows you to develop your mind and control your body. What this means is that things that you may be afraid to do, you find a way to overcome them in a healthy way. I'm so happy to still be part of this Kung Fu family as the years go by!
