About Bob
We have been providing classes in Tai-chi forms, including animal and weapons forms, chi-gung (qi-gong), push hands and self defense since 1975. We provide classes from beginners to advanced and have books and many instructional dvds to help the students. The school is in a secluded area with beautiful gardens and a koi pond.
This system of exercise and self defense can be practiced by people of all abilities. You can learn the slow motion forms or aerobic forms, or the healing chi-gung exercises. Each part of the training improves your health, increases coordination and flexibility and allows you to permanently let go of excess tension and stress.
You can also learn Tai-chi-Chuan as self defense. It is a very fluid and fast system and known for its power. It uses the opponent's force against them.
Both group and private classes are available. You do not need to be in good shape to start.
We also provide Pilates exercise with a complete classical Pilates studio. These exercises emphasize stretch, strength and control and tone muscles. One-on-one private classes are available.
I see people being healed physically and emotionally through these simple exercises. My students tell me that the most important result of Tai-chi practice is how it helps them deal with interpersonal relationships. Tai-chi also eliminates aches and pains and increases flexibility.
To see people look younger and younger, more and more happy as they learn, is very fulfilling for the teacher.
I spend many years learning Tai-chi because it was a system in harmony with my profession as a zoologist. Tai-chi is based on animal movements. I used to travel through the jungles of Central America for several months at a time, studying animals in the wild and maintained hundreds of animals in captive breeding programs.
I was certified as a teacher in 1975.
I was certified to teach Tai-chi-Chuan in 1975 by Grandmaster William C. C. Chen. Tai-chi-Chuan is based on the movements and behavior of animals, and to that end, I received a degree from Cornell University in 1970 in the field of "ethology" or the evolution of animal behavior. I have worked with hundreds of species of animals over many years, learning their behaviors. I teach this in the classes.

You begin with simple chi-gung exercises and with a slow "form" or series of movements. You learn to gain control of all your joints and muscles, using the least amount of effort possible to accomplish the movements.
We work with each student to show them how to use their bodies efficiently and to coordinate mind and body.
With Pilates instruction, the students work with several specialized pieces of equipment that assist them to achieve an athletic body. They are given one-on-one instruction to develop skills and strength.
All types and ages. Some are in very bad shape to start, barely able to walk. Others are athletic and want to improve the sport they are already involved in. Tai-chi-Chuan teaches you how to use your body efficiently so it is adaptable to any sport. In all cases, the students become very healthy in an amazingly short time.
The Pilates exercises are also for all people of all ages. The apparatus they work on assists their movements until they gradually do more and more of the work themselves.
Watch classes at several schools to get a sense of what each one teaches.
Someone came into the school, barely able to walk because of a disabling medical condition. I had to teach him by letting him hold onto chairs, which I moved as he moved. He could only last 2 minutes in a standing position and then had to rest.
Two years later he had learned several forms, some aerobic - without the use of chairs and "Push Hands", an exercise in which you try to throw the partner off balance. He told me one day that he was very disillusioned. He practiced his forms and his chi-gung exercises every day and even worked out with weights. But after two hours he was so tired he had to sit down. I reminded him that two years ago, he couldn't stand up for even two minutes, let alone even move on his own. Students forget in what poor shape they started Tai-chi-Chuan because they progress so rapidly.
