Private Lessons are recommended for students who have fallen behind in their study, those who want or need extra help to prepare for their next promotion, and for those who wish to accelerate their learning process. Some students, due to personal preference or scheduling problems, are taught exclusively in private classes.

Children also benefit greatly from private lessons. Many parents begin their child’s experience in Tae Kwon Do with private lessons to increase their child’s confidence, prior to joining the group classes. Please see Mr. Baker for more information.
 
 
Tai Chi 
All Levels 
Adults/Youth 
Tai Chi 
Tai Chi is an ancient Chinese martial art, characterized by slow movements and postures performed in a relaxed and conscious manner. Traditionally Tai Chi is considered a complete physical conditioner, a health and regenerative exercise, a way to longevity, a moving meditation, a self defense art, and a philosophical way of life that brings harmony and balance through developed consciousness and awareness of one's body, emotions, mind, and the spirit.

Through increased awareness Tai Chi relieves existing stress and tension through the slow relaxed movements, and reorients the body, emotions and the mind to healthier and more appropriate responses to stress, preventing chronic anxiety and accumulated tension. Mr. Baker offers to his students his passion for Tai Chi combined with his unique perspective made possible by his lifetime of study and teaching of martial arts. No martial arts experience is required. Tai Chi offers a unique availability to everyone. As an exercise it demands no physical strength to begin with.
