I have found Richards Tai Chi class to be excellent physical exercise and a fun activity that I can do with my husband. Richard is a great instructor and accommodates all ranges of physical ability. I am in pretty good physical condition due to years of ballet training. I had surgery earlier this year and hoped that Tai Chi would be beneficial in my recovery. To my delight, Richard modified the forms so that I could learn them easily despite having limited range of motion. I had planned to go back to my barre classes after I was fully healed. Regrettably, my barre studio closed due to the pandemic, but I am so happy with Tai Chi that I want to continue to learn and grow in my Tai Chi practice.

I am enjoying Richards Tai Chi classes a lot. I played tennis and racquetball for over forty years and have sustained some wear and tear to my joints. I focus primarily on rehabbing my shoulders during Tai Chi and Richard makes a lot of adjustments and suggestions during the class so that I get maximum benefit. I find that I am more limber and my flexibility and balance have improved significantly since I started. Richard is also very knowledgeable about herbs and natural remedies. I have found this to be very helpful to me as well.

Hands down a great instructor and extremely knowlegable. He is patient and has many ways of conveying a teaching whether it is Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Chi Kung, or anything. Even though I no longer live in California, after relocating, I could not find a place that I received as much as I did from Sifu King. So, I continue my classes via online training. He has taught me via video clips and live online methods. I have an extremely busy business schedule, so he is extremely good at making it easy for me to access training, but he keeps the training a challenge so I am able to make progress. Awesome person, teacher, and more than I can possible list here.

Sifu Richard Mieir King has been my Kung-Fu instructor since 2011. He is very knowledgeable, patient and humble. I truly enjoy each class, and I learn something new every time.

I have been a student for Si Fi King martial arts for around 20 years.He has taught me so much about Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and now learning Qigong. I received black sash and it was not easy. The weapons where always fun and he made the class enjoyable.I think with all of the health issue happening now, everyone should take a class in Qigong and Si Fu King does a great job working with everyone that has limits. He works with each persons limits to make they better.Thanks Ray

Richs class is Tai chi has saved my balance. I was falling and even have a scar under my left eyebrow. After six months in the class, I went from a grandmother who played soccer with her grandson sitting in a chair to standing up and active. His health exercises would be enough to keep me in the class, but learning the form has helped my memory and even to learn left from right. Ive been in the class for about 3 years, am the oldest person in the class, and will take advantage of his class for as long as possible. Thankfully, with the class, that will be a lot longer than I had expected.

I am a firm believer in Richards Tai Chi and Chi Kung Class. The class emphasizes balance, breathing, and circulation (energy flow). These are all things that someone 50 years of age or older (like me) need to focus upon to maintain health and reduce stress. I enjoy Richards teaching style which is very positive, uncritical and fun. I am happy to say that over the past several years that I have been taking classes from Richard, my high blood pressure has been reduced enough that the doctor took me off of blood pressure medicine! I recommend the class to anyone who wants to have regular exercise that is low-impact but is very healthy for your body.

Richards Tai Chi class has helped me to relax and focus my mind. The exercises done prior to practice have served to loosen my body up, especially my neck and back areas.

I highly recommend Richard Mieir King s class which is Taichi and Wellness. I enrolled more than a year ago and I am still in his class, hardly skip it. I lift bags in my line of work. His class has helped me to be more agile, relieves my tension and creates more energy. In fact when I go home I am mored wired than when I first entered his class. Richard is an excellent instructor and explains in detail of how the movements are when you transition from one step to the next movement. He has a fine sense of humor and makes sure you understand how this movement in Taichi can be applicable in real life. I enjoy my Thursday class.

I have been in a student of Kings Kung-Fu class on and off now since the nineties. Sifu Richard Meir-King is very knowledgable, kind and humorous, very approachable. This is a fun, work at your own pace, physical ability, non-militaristic class. Its all about self-improvement. Sifu excels in explanations of moves and all the possibilities of applications, improvisations. Lots of weapon forms! Come join us and improve your mind, body and spirit!!!
