About

*** Please note: $100 per private lesson. I only teach private lessons. Proof of covid vaccine for in person classes are required for my lessons.***

I have been teaching TaiChi and various internal energy arts (qigong, etc.) formally since about 2005. I lived in China from 1998-2005, and studied intensively these arts during this period, and have been training for several decades. I'm the co-founder of the International Sun Taichi Association, having apprenticed in Bejing with the grand-daughter of the Sun style Taichi founder. (https://www.suntaichi.com/)

I enjoy teaching students to help them develop balance, and help them grow and develop their health. I have taught all levels of students and all ages as well.

While in my early years I focused on the martial side of these practices, these days my teaching practices focus on health cultivation and holistic well being. These arts have had a significant positive impact on my life, and I enjoy passing them on to help others.

More detailed background on me can be found here:

I enjoy sharing the arts I train in with other folks who are interested in developing healthier and more balanced lives.

I teach only 1-1 private lessons these days.

Note: please write me an introductory note about yourself, and what you are interested in studying. I'm unlikely to reply unless you make a real self-introduction! (I get too much spam otherwise)

    Tom has been my tai chi master for over 13 years, since 2006. The things I look for in an instructor are: a deep knowledge of the art; deft skill in communication and transmission; an upright, noble character; and an open, generous heart. Tom possesses all of these, and more. From him I have learned more than just movement and martial arts -- he shares his views on music, painting, meditation, philosophy, and spiritual cultivation. A truly unique individual who is a vanishing species of old-school teacher, that treats his students as more than just paying customers. I cant recommend him highly enough.

    Tom is an expert in this field, and he is a natural teacher. Whether you are a beginning or an advanced student, Tom is able to explain even difficult concepts in a way that both encourages and challenges you. He is one of the most patient, caring people I have ever met. You will love your lessons!
