Dear Sifu Gohring:
My son, Theron, has been attending Tom Gohring's School
of Tai Chi for one year. He has come to look forward to the days that
he attends his martial arts class and I can see strengths that he has
acquired through his instruction at his bi weekly classes.
Theron is overcoming severe dyslexia, so, he experiences
frustration and struggle on a regular basis. I feel that the self-expression
and relying on oneself has been great for him. Each time he achieves a
new goal, he knows that he alone is responsible for reaching that goal.
As he said," I really like my green sash. You know why? Because I
really earned it. I feel like I'm wearing power!" We have noticed not only a physical improvement in our
son, (strength has increased and muscles are toned), but his patience
and self-discipline personally (in general and with schoolwork) have improved
as well. Theron has gone to class in the midst of a "really
bad day" and left class feeling great. The breathing exercises and
meditation have given him skills that will help him deal with stress.
I think we can all use those! I am very happy with the instruction that my son has received
in this class. I feel that his instructor has just the right balance of
discipline and caring with the children. We have learned a lot in one
year and we plan to continue to learn more. Thank you,
Bonnie C-K.
How do I get my child started? |
