Tai Chi and Kung Fu
The Fall is upon us and the weather is cooling down, and this makes a perfect time to practice outdoors. There is nothing like that morning fresh air at Woodward Park. I hold a small class there that is great for just about anyone that can stand for periods of time. (You can stop and take breaks whenever you want (but just don’t disrupt the class)). Donations welcome. Sun, Wu, and Wudang Sword Tai Chi.
Qigong
Breathwork is the most important thing for your body/mind. Qigong is just that with slow and natural movement. Coordinating the two is not easy. Weather you can move freely, or limited, there is a way to do it. It has helped many regain things like leg strength, and general vitality.
Bagua / Xing Yi
If you want some internal kung fu that moves a little faster than Tai Chi, then Bagua and or Xing Yi are the answer. Though these arts mix perfectly with Taiji, they are just as elusive and internally powerful as Taiji on their own. Learning the dynamic footwork and sudden changes of these arts will enhance your vigor and give you the longevity you seek along with the ability to muster up powerful bursts of power if needed.
Reiki / Qigong Energy Treatments
Reiki treatments are $50 for a full hour treatment. $25 for a half hour treatment. Please call or text for more information. (Leave a message if I am busy. I will contact you when I get a chance.) Typical treatment: I bring my Massage table and you lay on it. I will perform the treatment while you relax or sleep (or work with me and give me live feedback while I work). Simple and easy. Also, there is little or no contact. I like to keep it to 1 person or 2 per day (max), so call or text for more information.
A tiny bit about my Kung Fu experience
in 1985, I began training in the Choy Lee Fut Kung Fu system under Master Fred Spencer. I learned various versions of the Small Plum Blossom Fist, and several other hand sets and weapons of the 3 branches I was under. I started with the Jew Leong/Lau Bun lineage, and later transitioned to the Family style under a Great, great, grandson of the founder (all by the way of Master Spencer). (In 1986 I dabbled in Long Fist under John Cho, and gained information about Northern stances and footwork which was different from Southern Chinese Kung Fu).
Over the years, I have extracted the true meaning of Choy Lee Fut’s many fists, blocks, and footwork (the Plum Blossom, Cross pattern, and 5 Animals, plus 1 or more weapons, and 2 man fighting sets).Which was the perfect foundation for when I transitioned to internal Kung Fu training in 1999 at around the age of 27. It wasn’t until a year later that I actually began my journey and practice of Sun, Wu (Yuxiang), and Yang Small frame Tai Chi Chuan. I also began the study of Jiang Song Yan (Student of Zhang Zhao Dong, Yin Fu) style Baguazhang, and Xing Yi Chuan over a period of 3 years before the school disbanded under Master Wang Shi-Qing (including some internal weapons) I even met and practiced with his teacher; Grandmaster Zhang Kui Wen here in the states and in Shenyang, China.
Along my path I also learned Iron Palm, body conditioning, and several styles of Qigong. Half of my life has passed, and I plan to practice and develop these styles within and without for the remainder of my life here on Earth. I enjoy practicing and striving to be fit enough to endure life’s changes.

I appreciate that many are looking for Tai Chi and Qigong classes in Fresno, but we train the old way (outdoors, (except for Monday evenings at Innergy Wellness Center)), so as I have seen for the last decade of trying to teach the public; this kind of practice isn’t for everyone. So please save us time and not even come out unless you can handle the different seasons. We are a small private group and it has condensed down by itself. I have met over a thousand people, and only ended up with a few who stick around because they are likeminded and know what it is they are learning. (Not doing what everyone else is doing, but not knowing what it is that they are doing.) I just keep going and the Universe handles the rest. No time lost by me. Annoyances come from time to time, but they are to be expected.
