My approach to teaching is based in Taoist philosophy. Whatever you have, I try to improve it. Each person is able to do certain things at a certain pace. There are hundreds of detailed ways in which Tai Chi can be improved but each person can only accomplish so much at one time. In general, I just try to work with what people can handle.
Some people can take months just to learn to pivot on their heel.
We show you how to have confidence to handle a situation. Our emphasis is on yielding first and then positioning yourself to attack. Other systems emphasize on attacking power, and developing punches and kicks so strong that nobody can take it. But if you meet somebody stronger, you're in trouble. So our training is based on push hands.
