About Jax Tai Chi

He’s practiced Northern Shaolin, Long Fist, Zha Boxing, Taijiquan, Baguazhang and Xingyiquan, along with Broadsword, Straight sword, Staff, Spear and all flexible weapons. Joel holds a 6th and two 2nd degree black belts in multiple international associations.
Tai chi training offers a systematic way to nurture and maintain your body, mind, and spirit. All of my classes are held in a fun and informal atmosphere. I feel this is the most conducive environment for learning. You won’t find the ‘rigidity’ present in many martial art classes. Classes often utilize group and small group formats to optimize the experience for students with varying skill levels.
Short courses and seminars most often find all the participants doing the same activity at the same time. Since all the students are learning the same material and there is a limited period of time, this structure usually works quite well.
In addition to Tai Chi, instruction is also available in Long Fist, Baguazhang, Xingyiquan, traditional Chinese weapons, practical self defense, balance training, and other topics.
