Tai Chi Classes now held on Thursdays & Sundays!

MJA Martial Arts in Spencer, MA is pleased to announce a new schedule for Tai Chi classes. Tai Chi classes are now available on Thursdays & Sundays. New students are invited to stop in for a FREE trial class.

No one is too young or too old to start and benefit from learning Tai Chi!


Styles offered:
Yang Style for beginners and intermediate.
Chen & Bagua for advanced.

Tai Chi Program Curriculum:

In this program, MJA Coach Karim-Ben Saunders will teach you the fundamentals of Tai Chi Chuan: Tai Chi Walk, Tai Chi Stances, Relaxation, Proper Body alignment and Qigong. The word Qigong (pronounced chi kung) is a combination of two ideas: "Qi" means air, breath of life, or vital energy of the body, and "gong" means the skill of working with, or cultivating, self-discipline and achievement. The art of Qigong consists primarily of meditation, physical movement, mind-body integration, and breathing exercises. Practitioners of Qigong develop an awareness of qi sensations (energy) in their body and use their mind to guide the Qi.

After learning the Tai Chi basics, we will begin your Tai Chi training. When working on Tai Chi, we will focus on the Thirteen Principles of Tai Chi, the Eight Energies of Tai Chi and the Six Harmonies. As you progress, you will learn more complex Tai Chi forms, Tai Chi Weapons and Pushing Hands.

We will also teach Chen Style Tai Chi and other Internal Arts such as Xingyi Chuan and Bagua Zhang. These styles are taught to advance students.

Personal Safety / EZ Defense Program

Program Description:


Level One: Non-Contact, Verbal Boundaries Skills and Concepts. In this program, you’ll learn how to assert yourself and deal with the natural excitement and fear that can cause you to “freeze-up” when faced with an aggressor. You’ll be lead through simple by effective drills and scenarios designed to help you overcome the uncomfortable feelings and fear that can mark you as an easy target for attack.

Understand how to use your emotions to help you become stronger and safer. Fear and anger are tremendous sources of power when used in defense.

The Level One program has no contact and is a perfect introductory program.

Features of the EZ Defense Program

EZ Defense builds on your personal strengths.

EZ Defense builds on the potential that you already have for self- protection. This includes the ability to learn to make good choices and use effective reasoning under stress. EZ Defense provides self-protection training in a safe, supportive environment.

The step-by-step process of developing skills and confidence builds from yhe successes you attain in every class. By the end of the course. You will have used your skills repeatedly to assess danger, set boundaries, and respond effectively to real and potential attacks.

With the support of other students and the instructor, you’ll have many opportunities to practice using your skills, judgments, and emotions in simulated attack scenarios. You Can Protect Yourself!

EZ Defense is highly specialized self-protection program that teaches you to successfully defend against an assailant of any size.

EZ Defense is based on the idea that learning is best accomplished by “doing.”
In all of our programs, you’ll work with a highly trained instructor who will create safe, yet powerful, scenarios and role plays designed to help you experience the “rush” of self-defense without contact and without the danger or consequences.

You Are Worthy of Defending
Learn simple and effective self-protection and prevention skills through the EZ Defense program. These are concepts that any person, regardless of age or fitness level, can learn.

Practice in a safe environment.
The instructor teaches and demonstrates all the skills and coaches students while they practice. The key to the EZ Defense program is that there is no contact. You will be amazed by the power and control you will develop as a result of learning and then practicing simple EZ Defense concepts under the safe supervision of our trained coach.

What Will I Learn?
EZ Defense has developed a wide variety of progressive learning programs ranging from non-contact, one day classes on verbal skills to intense multi-week programs.

Why is EZ Defense important for you?
Truly, the most important skill you will develop is the ability to stay in control. This is the critical skill that will help you avoid violence in over 90 percent of all potentially harmful situations.

What other benefits will I receive?
Many participants tell us that the benefits of EZ Defense training go far beyond learning self-defense. Our graduates report:

  1. • Increased focus and effectiveness at work
    • The ability to remain calm and use clearheaded thinking during stress or crisis

    • Improved ability to communicate clearly and directly
    • Increased problem solving skills


Think about it.

What would your life be like if you were never intimidated by a person or situation again?
