I've taken classes from him on and off for the past 20+ years. He teaches not just the form, but also the foundational and philosophical aspects of tai chi, and there's always something new to learn or old to review.

I came in after sitting on my couch for 3 years during the pandemic, so out of shape I could barely walk without huffing and puffing. I was 68 years old. I took a trial class and then signed up for 1 month immediately after. The difference is that my depression & mood has greatly improved. I feel inspired by the classes and the other members in class. My stamina has grown and my body is so much stronger and healthier. My posture is better.. instead of being hunched over, I can now stand up straight and walk with confidence. My balance is way better too. The mind/body approach here works for me and learning about one's energy is wonderful. I love the classes and have grown to have more patience & understanding with my body. We have so much fun in class and I love that we have members of all ages.
