Learn how to find your balance and increase stability through breath, intent, and relaxation techniques.
Relaxation and tranquility/quietness are practiced, during movement, to learn “calmness under tension.”
Tai chi teaches an awareness of body structure, and emphasizes a straight, centered body, for agile movement.
Correct practice nurtures the body, repairing and preventing injuries, and cultivating a calm, tranquil mind.
Class starts with a gentle warm-up with Qigong exercises, followed by lessons in traditional 24 Step Tai Chi.
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.

When a student comes to Master Joel's class with an empty cup, he or she will find an amazing smorgasbord to feast on.... Love your style Master Joel; you are a great teacher!.

Master Joel's Kung Fu/Tai Chi lineage is strong, having spent decades learning from the top masters in Kung Fu and Tai Chi.
Learning traditional Tai Chi at Memorial Park under beautiful oak trees, in front of the St John's River, is energizing and magical at the same time.

Master Joel shared a vast amount of knowledge and skills with us during his month here in Queensland (Australia). I learned so much new and valuable information to enhance my Tai Chi and Qigong.
