American School of Martial Arts - Wake Forest Kung Fu Inc

I moved a year ago to this area and was searching around for different MA schools and teachers. I had trained aikido, kung fu, taichi and qigong before and was looking for a place that will have classes on these disciplines while spending time around friendly and experienced martial artists. Also, I was looking for a place close to my home. I am also picky with decoration and the space I will be training in. A good amount of check boxes to fill, so I was already balancing the other schools I visited cons and pros. Then I was referred to this school and met master Baird. He is very warm and humble and his other higher rank students as well. It turns out that this school marks all my checkboxes. The sifu keep the classes dynamic, we do practice kung fu for self defense but also train in a relaxed state . We are reminded of how to protect our bodies and build health while training. The taichi classes are deep and qi gong is interlaced too. We get to practice Hapkido techniques which builds upon my previous kung fu and aikido training. Another bonus is that Master Baird is a pastor. So, I get to learn about the bible after class. The building is new and I enjoy the decor and the artwork, very inspirational. Also, I love the background music is played while we train, it personally helps me with concentration. The structure of the class is open right now, I get the chance to train with black belts and experienced martial artists which is always great for a beginner! Personally, I love driving to Wake Forest downtown when going to class. To summarize I think every person looking for a place to train martial arts should come to this school and try a couple of classes, I am sure you will love it here too.
