Phoenix Wellness Arts (PWA) — Local services in Duluth

Phoenix Wellness Arts celebrated their 1-year anniversary today, and after attending their ceremony (I drove 9 hours and it was WORTH IT.) including food, drinks, lion dance performances, and a miriad of martial arts performances - it's safe to say that the coaches Lyman and Crystal created such an AMAZING space for people of all walks of life to learn martial arts, improve their overall health and fundamentally reshape what it means to have personal growth.

Starting with Tai Chi, led by Crystal, you can feel your body using muscles you may have never used before! While it may look easy, you may find your legs shaking, but you'll limp away with a overwhelming sense of calm and peace of mind, knowing that you improved the overall functions of your muscles, bones AND organs. Kung Fu, led by Lyman, is a challenging class, but Lyman takes you through the basics carefully and meticulously, ensuring the safety and health of your body over the strictness of the practice and forms (including weapons). Kickboxing, led again by Lyman, is great for anyone who strives to learn self defense. Competitions may be in your future if you find yourself loving this class!

They have a recently developing class that involves learning to Lion Dance, which is a beautiful tradition for anyone who wants to be involved in Chinese culture and to dance and learn choreography with partners!

Please, do yourself a favor and come to Phoenix Wellness Arts for not only your health, but for enriching yourself with their beautiful community. You can feel their love and devotion for this artwork, and it really makes all the difference when choosing a place to improve your health and...

I have been wanting to work on kickboxing more, and PWA was a great experience. The instructor took the time to break down the basics and application of each movement - which helps me understand how you approach and apply the techniques in a fight. I really appreciated the careful evaluation of my current skill level, and how my training will be structured to pinpoint what works or doesn’t work for me after I’ve gotten a handle on the basics. The facility is beautiful, well organized and thoughtful for both the students and guests of the school. Will definitely be back for some more kickboxing! 10/10...

I took an intro to kickboxing class here and loved it! The class size was small and the instruction was personalized. My instructor took the time to walk us through an in depth stretching/warm up routine. The actual kickboxing was customized for each student so from the very beginning basics with explanations for the techniques for me and my friend and a more challenging course for someone who had a few lesson previously but was still a beginner. He also personalized it for your fitness level. I’m excited to take more lessons and get better at kickboxing and would recommend...
