 Jesse Tsao Tai Chi Healthways: Wudang Mountain China Tour and Bangkok Thailand Retreat April 14-28, 2019

Marco Island, FL Tai Chi Healthways workshop Sat - Sun, Feb. 16-17, 2019

All about Tai Chi and Qigong:  We will cover the fundamental Qigong practice and Tai Chi inner energy cultivation, classic long forms Chen and Yang, as well as a short fan form.  From an ancient Chinese martial art, Tai chi has evolved into a graceful form of exercise that facilitates health improvement, disease prevention, healing assistance, and spiritual growth. It involves slow, circular movements, as well as mental concentration, breath control, deep relaxation, and meditation.  Tai chi uses slow, gentle, flowing movements to reduce the stress of today’s busy lifestyles and improve the body’s overall health. While other types of modern exercise might place an emphasis on pushing the body harder and faster, in Taichi the emphasis is on pushing slower and softer, making it ideal for people of all ages and fitness levels.  We will teach the classic tai chi routines in a Qigong's approach.  Make it more tasteful and enjoyable by any skill level participants.

Denver, CO - January 25-26, 2019 (Saturday and Sunday)

Tai Chi Ruler and Massage

This unique Tai Chi form uses an ancient tool called a Ruler which when used along with intention and breath cultivates and directs Qi throughout the body.  It is a great tool to eliminate worries and release ourselves from the past confusion.  This beginner-friendly form concludes with a step by step guide on how to use the Ruler to stimulate major acupressure points on the neck, back, shoulders, and scalp, making it a fun qigong session to share with a friend. This will be a great opportunity for tai chi or Qigong instructors to bring home new teaching to their community.

Partner Qigong

An innovative take on an ages-old practice. This Qigong set is designed to focus on subtle energies within oneself as well as those in your partner, whether that partner is a friend or nature. This pleasant form trains us to "tune in" to another in such a way as to foster compassion and "listening" skills. Partners help each other through sharing energy into tranquility and become one with the pulse of the Universe.  Additionally, studies show that when we embark on healthy hobbies with a friend, they're more enjoyable and we stick with them longer.

 "Each time I attend your workshops, I come away with learning something new. For example, your observation of my poor push hands techniques and the means to improve was invaluable to me. Thank you so much in helping me to become a better teacher to my students who hopefully will become better teachers.... " - Maurice O.

Saturday, October 20, 2018 Shi-ba-shi Tai Chi Fan 18 Form in Yang Style

 Significantly different from other fan forms, this is not a dancing-type stage show.  All moves are practical, useful techniques for self-healing and self-defense, based on traditional Yang Style Tai Chi for ease of learning and recall. Combined with the fan's openings and closings, one practices stress release and energy circulation.  It also emphasizes self-defense as each move has clear martial meaning.  The closed fan can be a baton to deflect, strike, stab, or bludgeon an opponent.  The open fan can be used to shield, distract, or even cut because traditionally, the ribs of the fan would have sharpened points.  Dr. Jesse Tsao created this routine based on his Ph.D. research on traditional Chinese exercise for disease prevention and well-being.

Saturday - Monday, October 13-15, 2018

Dr. Jesse Tsao will share his knowlage on Tai chi philosophy and concepts, as well as teach the Tai Chi Double Baton/Bang in Tai Chi Form 24.

Tai Chi Double Bang in Form 24 is a practice based on the most popular Tai Chi routine, Form 24, with self-defense in mind.  Each posture is initiated with small circles from wrist rotation, driven by silk reeling energy flow.  It will help prevent heart disease, and lung problems because rotation stimulates 6 meridian channel origin energy points around the wrist.  It will also prevent carpal tunnel. This is also an effective tool to help Tai Chi beginners get rid of stiff arm problems.
