much for giving and sharing!"

"Excellent
class! It was exactly what I wanted. Three days
is intense, but needed to get the basics and
basic forms. Remembering to stretching is
helpful. Loved doing the 16 Steps Tai Chi." ---

“I have found the entire three year experience a
most outstanding way to perpetuate Tai Chi. You not
only learn how to instruct this most ancient martial
art, you also have the opportunity to hone your own
talent while gaining experience in several styles
and forms.
The training not only included the teaching of
forms, but provided significant insight into the
benefits of tai chi and qigong as well as that of
Taoism, and learning to incorporate balance in one’s
life in keeping with yin yang. An instructor must
have a good foundation in the principles and
theories of tai chi including its physical and
spiritual benefits. Every session touched on these
aspects.
The
most fundamental form, the traditional 24 step Tai
Chi was emphasized throughout the three year
training, along with Dr. Kuhn’s Medicinal 16 step
form. With this we spent time learning pushy hands
instructional techniques, tai chi sword form
fundamentals, and other styles and forms such as
Xing Yi Chuan and Ba Gua.
I have benefited personally and have grown during
this course, and I am also benefiting others through
teaching. Tai Chi is a wonderful (and to me
necessary) part of external martial arts in which I
am also involved – it truly rounds out my martial
arts training, studies, and involvement. Dr. Kuhn
is a traditional Chinese physician and healer, and
leverages the benefits of tai chi and qigong
accordingly.
Having
extensive experience and training as a physician,
she understands how tai chi really works and applies
it – and integrates that knowledge into her
instructor training. I feel quite fortunate to have
such an experienced teacher/Tai Chi Master from whom
to learn. Even though I am not immediately local I
will continue to hone my skills and engage in
“tune-ups” through Dr. Kuhn. I highly recommend her
course to anyone wanting a deep understanding of Tai
Chi along with the desire to share the knowledge and
in the healing of others.”
