All our teachers and associates who teach our system have undergone a long and sometimes difficult process of study and practice.  We do not believe that Tai Chi (taijiquan) and authentic Chi Kung (qigong) are skills that can be learnt quickly then passed on. This is not the traditional way of development used in China for hundreds of years, where students start in the 'outer courtyard' and over many years work their way to the 'inner hall', where they are finally taught by the master (sifu).

Ultimately every accomplished teacher of the tradional taijiquan and qigong arts wishes to be competent enough to accurately pass on the lineage of their teachers. We would like to think that we are in some way contributing to that process and honouring our teachers, who have invested so much of their time and trust in us.
