BALANCE Martial Arts 515 Superior Street, Columbia, SC 29205

"This is an authentic martial arts and Tai Chi school led by Sifu Adams who is passionate about the philosophies of these arts and is quality-oriented. Both of my children (11 and 6) who have been taking Kung-Fu classes for two years, are very different from each other yet enjoy their classes in their own ways. This is because instruction is individualized to each child in a supportive, positive environment. The instructors genuinely care about the well-being and growth of the child. My husband and I have been happy to see our children grow in their strength, confidence, and martial arts skills. We are grateful that we found a place where our children can learn not just physical skills but life skills that are centered around values-principles. We hope that they will continue to take classes here for years to come."

"We love having our daughter train here. She is learning authentic Kung Fu while also gaining skills that will benefit her into adulthood. She is more focused, flexible, and physically stronger since she began attending. All of the staff are wonderful with the kids!"

"I truly enjoy every class. I learn so much that I never thought would be possible. As my whole childhood life I wished to study the martial arts. I feel complete joy after class and would recommend to anyone who is looking for truly authentic teachings of the art to come and try it out. Thanks..."

"My son has been attending the kids Kung Fu classes for around 6 months and absolutely loves them. He really has become a calmer more confident kid both at home and at school. Within the first month Kung Fu became his favorite activity, and so far has shown no signs of that changing. Instead of me encouraging him to practice, he comes to me insisting that I watch what he learned in his last class. We could not be more pleased."

"When looking for a martial arts school, I wanted to find a place that did not simply teach you motions, but gave a deep understanding behind the motions based on overall health, wellness, and philosophy. At the Columbia Tai Chi and Kung Fu Center, a gwan with traditional lineage, I found exactly what I was looking for. Sifu Adams is very knowledgeable in the arts of Tai Chi and Kung Fu and is an incredible inductor for all skill levels. I highly suggest this school for anyone wanting to become a more balanced, healthy, and happy person."
