Training Chronology
and
​Tribute to my teachers

Picture
I began practicing martial arts in 1976, and yoga in 1995. I offer a multi disciplinary integrative approach; Tai Chi Chuan (Push Hands, Sticky Hands), Chi Gong, Taoist Microcosmic Breath, Kundalini Yoga, Yi Quan - Tai Ki Ken. For practical purposes, I unify them under the umbrella of Tai Chi Chuan.

This site was primarily designed to support the home practice of my students, but anyone is most welcome to use the material posted here, to comment and ask questions.

It may serve as a reminder for students, it may be an introduction and inspiration for newcomers, and it may give a different perspective to advanced martial arts practitioners. 

Please keep in mind that the material presented in the videos is only the tip of the iceberg, on both theoretical and biomechanical aspects.

Foundation for Posture and Movement
Lifting the Tiger
Sensing the Ripples of Chi
Sensing the Ripples of Time
Hands like Clouds
Short Form - 24 Postures - Yang Style
My teaching doesn’t follow a linear chronology; it is more like a spiral movement. I post information in the form of layers, in order of increasing depth and subtlety. Therefore, one given exercise may be presented in several different videos. I begin with easily accessible aspects, which you can practice to create a ground on which to build holistically. Patience, passion and depth are key.
You can follow the tutorials both horizontally, to learn and refine material and form, and you can explore them vertically to reach deeper layers of subtlety and meaning. 
The understanding of what you learn will grow through practice only.
Remember, no video may ever be a substitute to a session in actual presence.

This website is a work in progress. I will add and edit material regularly. I can also consider requests.

​Disclaimer: All the better if my gift triggers the curiosity and inspires the newcomer, however, I cannot be held responsible for the public's interpretation of the material in my videos, nor for the unwanted physical consequences which may result from following them without direct supervision.
