Master Zhen is the first generation of not-Chinese to teach Yang Style Taijiquan, Shaolin Kung Fu, 7-Star Praying Mantis Boxing, and the Tai Chi Praying Mantis styles of Chinese martial arts, or Kung Fu.

Tai Chi Qigong Meditation |
|
|
Qigong, breathing exercises, qi energy flow... had all been developing for hundreds of years before the Daoists started construction of their Wudang Temple. "Whether you call it Buddhist Breathing or Daoist Qigong," explains Master Zhen, "It is mastering the energy already flowing within you. First I make you aware of it. Second I show you how to focus on it. Third i teach students how to enhance it. However, in the fourth stage when you can move and manipulate your energy -- that's where the magic and the healing come into play." Although you may need to be an Intermediate Level or Advanced Tai Chi practitioner to make use of many of these technigues, follow along and do your best. Beginners allowed. |

Tai Chi Staff |
|
Traditional Chen Taijiquan includes staff, spear and sword. "Wood is my favorite Tai Chi weapon," explains Master Zhen. "Metal sucks my energy out -- with the exception of aluminum, but wood is easier to control or use while manifesting qi "chi" energy." "When I broke my arm last year, I had planned to build it back up with my double broadswords, (shuang dao, or cern do). But it was my staff class that rebuilt my shoulder. It somehow has caught up and surpassed my left arm in strength again." "I enjoy doing qigong when I'm with my staffs, spear, or wooden swords. Let me show you some of my qi energy discoveries." |

Combat Taiji |
|
|
When Yang Chen Fu stole the Chen Style Taijiquan, he proved it's value by beating up every prize fighter in his village. Two of my Taijiquan Masters made me promise, as one said, "Don't turn this into yoga Tai Chi." That was twenty five years ago and Master Zhen has kept his promise by expanding the Tai Chi instruction to include 57 required Qin Na techniques and that each student mush demonstrate three self-defense moves for each of the sixteen Tai Chi sections. Several of Master Zhen's students have claimed that Tai Chi moves saved their lives in dangerous confrontations. |
