About
Real world Street Safe combat skills in weeks not years. Overall health changes with amazing results. Piece of mind meditation and mindset training. The ability to feel and use subtle energies for both healing or self-defense.South Florida based instructor of internal martial arts for both self-defense and a healthy lifestyle. I teach Taiji Chuan, Qi Gong, JKD, Yin Wing Tsun, Bagua Zhang, Xing Yi Chuan, MMA as well as the Energy Healing arts of Reiki and Fa Kung Wa.
Helping others is a passion for me, and the internal arts are an amazing way to change your life. Taiji or Tai Chi, is the martial version of Yoga, so like Yoga, it brings increased health benefits to both body and mind. The Yin / Yang aspect of the training is the same as working on both Bhakti and Ianni yoga at the same time, while learning a useful self-defense art in a fraction of the time of traditional "external" styles. I am a Certified Life Coach and have been involved in sharing and teaching these life changing skills for over 25 years.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
An initial online consultation is always a great idea to map out the path to the students needs. This will give you a better idea of all of the benefits this training offers. Once we are ready, I always start with the basics of movement, structure, stance and proper breath-work. This will be the same if your interest is in just energy, meditation and healing or self-defense. This forms the foundation of the training.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been teaching Taiji, Qi Gong and Internal Mixed Martial Arts since 1996 in both private and group settings. I am a certified Clear's Taiji Instructor and an NASM certified personal trainer, as well as a Certified Life Coach and Reiki Master Teacher. I have also worked as both a pubic speaker and reader at meditation retreats and new age fairs over the years.

What types of students have you worked with?
Although I have worked with students of ages ranging from 5 to the 90's, the Internal Arts are among the most effective and devestating combat arts; So at a minimum an age of 16 is prefered.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
The best thing is to talk to the teacher and make sure your energy is compatable. What are your goals for your classes?
My classes are designed to to take anyone from any skill level, and give you the tools to feel safe and secure enough to handle any situation. Being based on the internal arts this also provides all of the health benefits of Tai chi and Qi Gong, while still learning a useful skill set in a fraction of the time of eternal styles.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Obviously any physical limitations need to be addressed and accommodated for. Also, what goals are you looking to achieve.... do you need self-defense? The focus starts there. Do you need an improvement in health? That should be the focus. Mental health? Same idea.
That's why we cover all of them!
