About this user

In General for sharing taiji knowledge but also for sharing misc. videos with friends.

I have been exposed to various martial arts through out my life including a bit of Tai Kwan Do, Shorin-ryu, California Martial Arts Modern defense method (an early 'mixed' martial art including Kali, Jeet Kune do, etc). I had also competed in competitive powerlifting which unfortunately left me a bit 'damaged' (some say I was born that way LOL). In early 2005 I luckily stumbled across Chen style Taiji. It combined the health benefits of Yang that is widely practiced with some faster powerful movements appealing to my background. I have been studying since then. Most recently I have gotten certification as a beginning level instructor through Tai Chi Healthways in San Diego ( www.taichihealthways.com ). I am teaching a couple of nights a week at a local health club and really love it. I hope one day to open my own studio. I would welcome comments and discussion as I am interested in expanding my taiji knowledge.
