CHRONIC NECK AND BACK
PROBLEMS GONE...
NOT EVEN A COLD...
Oh, and, DROPPED 40 POUNDS...


I came to Sifu Michael in the Fall, a sluggish, overweight, desk-bound forty-six year old man, with chronic sore neck and back, low energy and fatigue. After the first nine months, I've dropped 40 pounds, increased my energy, eliminated the fatigue and no longer suffer from a chronic sore neck and back.

As a bonus, although I have a long history of respiratory ailments (sore throats, chest colds, flu and sinus problems), since I started attending regular classes, I have not had even a single cold.

Classes are fun, energizing and informative. Rather than simply imitating movements, each form is learned systematically and explored thoroughly combining diverse information including body mechanics, the physics of movement, esoteric concordances, history and lineage of forms; and a healthy dose of wry humor supplied by the Sifu himself. A typical class includes both internal and external work including TaiChi forms, Qigong exercises, Tui Shou/SanShou and more.

Although I'm just beginning my training, I have already noticed subtle changes in my daily life that I attribute to the training -- I feel more centered and grounded, I carry myself more confidently at work, my physical being feels as though its coming back to life and overall I have more clarity and focus. Thank you Sifu.
