Cheng Ming USA Tai Chi School

I love this Martial Art school. Helps me mentally and physically. Eric is a great instructor for me and my daughter.

This internal martial arts system offers both physical and mental benefits. Tai Chi is relaxing and calming. It helps with flexibility, coordination, and balance. Hsing I helps students develop confidence and mental fortitude. Studying here improves your memory and recall, in addition to learning self defense. This is a school where you can be a student for life and learn something new during each class.

My Family has been with Eric Hung and the school for 10 years now. I can not say enough good things about this school. If your even thinking of learning go in and just ask to watch a class. Truly a Kung Fu family. No belts or extra fees just great internal Martial Arts. Heath with defense applications. If it is a good fit for you, you'll stay for a long long time,

I have trained with Master Eric Hung for about 2 years. He is an amazing Tai Chi Master and a wonderful teacher. He is the essence of a true Qi Gong practitioner and master. If you want to learn from someone who has devoted his entire life to the internal martial arts, you have to go to Cheng Ming USA.

I love this school. I've studied a few different martial arts in a number of different schools across the country, and this one is incredibly unique. As an "internal martial art", the approach is quite different - Cheng Ming represents one of the most comprehensive schools of Tai Chi Chuan, Hsing-I Chuan, and Ba Gua Zhang available in the US. As a complete soft-style, it is equally effective for critical self defense as well as long-term fitness. People are able to practice this art well into their later years, and yet it is fully capable of stopping an assailant in almost any situation. Master Eric Hung is an amazing instructor, covering the complete teachings of Great-Grandmaster Wang Shu Jin as he passed them down to his successor, Grandmaster Wang Fu Lai (Eric's direct teacher). Eric is the second Master that I've had the privilege of studying under - the first being WTF 8th degree black belt Grandmaster Byung Yong Kim. I've found Eric to be made from equal portions of patience, skill, wisdom and kindness. He has made approaching Kung Fu a pleasure, and the non-competitive, family atmosphere is wonderful for all ages. Many martial arts schools have classes made up primarily of children - and while Cheng Ming has children's classes available, there are many adult classes that are good for all ages and skill levels. Never once have I felt embarrassed at a lack of skill, nor have I ever felt unchallenged during class. Eric has an amazing way of giving each student what they need for where they are. I've often found that a teacher's senior students are an excellent barometer of that teachers core skill and "heart". In SOME places these advanced students look at newcomers with thinly veiled displeasure, as having to work with neophytes takes them away from the more advanced techniques that they would prefer to be working on. Cheng Ming is the EXACT opposite. The senior students are welcoming, caring and giving individuals - many of them accomplished in their own right, and yet they all maintain an approach-ability that puts even the most nervous person at ease. Again, a perfect barometer of the Master they study with. It is worth noting that while the senior students are always willing to help, every class is taught by Master Eric directly, with others assisting as needed. Weeknight sessions are an excellent choice for those students looking for a smaller, more personalized classes. While Master Eric does talk about Chinese philosophy during class and how it applies to what we are studying, his approach is inclusive and ecumenical, with people of all faiths and worldviews feeling equally at home. My family and I initially came to Cheng Ming for the self defense. What we've received is that and so much more. Master Eric's approach to true fitness, both internal and external is second to none and I encourage anyone looking to take a holistic step forward in their lives to give Cheng Ming a try.
