Master Thomas Gohring discovered the martial arts in eighth grade and was immediately fascinated. He saw every Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan movie, read books, and memorized fighting principles.

Most kids try a class.
Some kids lock in from day one.
That’s what happened with Henderson.
His family didn’t come looking for a martial arts school — they came for a birthday party. But something clicked immediately. Focus. Structure. Confidence.
What stood out wasn’t just the training.
It was the attention to the individual.
Not cookie-cutter. Not commercialized.
Every student is taught what they need to grow.
✔ Thoughtful instruction
✔ Positive, high-energy environment
✔ Real progress from consistent training
✔ A community parents actually enjoy being part of
As Henderson put it: “It’s really awesome.”
And it shows — in the discipline, the confidence, and that first milestone: earning his white sash.

**Chen Style Tai Chi Xinjia: A Dynamic Tradition** Xinjia (新架), or "New Frame," is a contemporary form of Chen-style Tai Chi developed by Grandmaster Chen Fake in the early 20th century. Known for its *spiraling movements*, explosive power (*fa jin*), and seamless shifts between slow, meditative flows and sudden bursts of energy, Xinjia embodies the martial essence of Tai Chi. Its intricate choreography emphasizes *silk-reeling energy* (chan si jin)—coiling motions that cultivate internal strength, balance, and mental focus. Practitioners often describe it as a "moving meditation" with combat applications, blending grace and practicality. **Master Gohring’s Xinjia Showcase at Graduation** At a recent color sash graduation event hosted at **Kick Butt Coffee** and **Master Gohring’s Tai Chi & Kung Fu**, Master Gohring and his top students demonstrated Xinjia’s mesmerizing complexity. Against the café’s eclectic, high-energy backdrop, the group moved in unison—their forms punctuated by sharp strikes, low stances, and fluid transitions. The demo highlighted not only their technical precision but also the art’s philosophical depth, with Master Gohring emphasizing *harmony of mind and body* in his closing remarks. The ceremony celebrated students’ progression through sash levels, symbolizing their dedication to mastering Chen-style fundamentals. Attendees sipped coffee while watching the interplay of softness and power, a fitting fusion of Kick Butt’s quirky vibe and Tai Chi’s ancient discipline. **Why It Matters** Xinjia isn’t just a workout—it’s a transformative practice. Master Gohring’s event showcased how traditional martial arts thrive in modern, community-driven spaces, proving that Tai Chi’s relevance endures.
