I have been studying and practicing since 1981. I studied tai chi chuan from 1983 until 2002 with the well known Old Wu style Master Huang Tzengyu from Hebei, China in Cleveland, Ohio. From 2007 to 2023 I studied in Beijing, China with the famous Old Yang style Master Zhu Chunxuan. I am officially a 5th generation Old Wu style teacher and officially a 7th generation Old Yang style teacher. I started teaching at Lakeland Community College as well as at the Tai Chi Center of Cleveland in 1994. Currently I instruct students at the Tai Chi Center of Cleveland. I have presented seminars and lectures in the United States, Beijing,China at the University of Traditional Medicine in 2016 and Europe in 2025, teaching Huang Tzengyu's and Zhu Chun Xuans methods.I appeared in and consulted on the film The Power of Qi.

For those who are searching, there is in depth study of the yin yang philosophy, the subtle movements necessary to reap the inherent health benefits, self defense applications and pushing hands (tui shou). Meditation and Qi Gong. This class will introduce the theory and practice of these two methods of reducing stress and developing internal harmony. The practice of meditation involves physical and mental relaxation, quieting and calming the mind and body, and finding in the stillness, a renewed sense of well being. The practice of Qi Gong teaches the use of movement as a means of reaching this feeling while increasing and controlling ones internal energy.

Anyone who wants to learn can be taught taiji, the young, the old, the sick and even the handicapped. All can improve themselves and on many different levels depending on one's personal needs, goals or skills.

Master Huang once said; If one waits until they need Tai Chi, they will find out it may be too late. So don't wait until tomorrow, next week, next month or next year... It is better to start now!
