Training with Intention
Ojai Classes
After the unfortunate passing of The Mountain Institute for Kung Fu and Tai Chi's founder, Sigung Tom Farrar, his best friend and brother in the martial arts, Sifu Darrell Gooden, has graciously taken up the reins to continue our school's vision. Sifu Darrell teaches both group classes and private lessons in methods of external as well as internal martial arts. Different techniques that are applicable in "real life" situations are taught. This includes self defense techniques that deal with striking, grappling, and ground fighting. In addition, weapons are taught that include projectile, long-range, mid-range, and short-range attacks and defenses. Accommodations can also be made for students who are seeking to train with more emphasis on health rather than on combat. Please contact the city of Ojai to register for classes here, or else please check below for class times located in the Ojai Recreation Department Multipurpose Room:
