Testimonials 

Kerry J. Kluner, M.D., FRCPC, Medical Director of the Shi-Ho Center for Creative and Healing Arts  I vividly recall the first time seeing and experiencing Jesse Tsao demonstrate Tai Chi at an open house for the Shi-Ho center in Del Mar, CA.  As he began his "moving meditation," the audience fell quiet and transfixed; the entire group went into a meditative state.  Tsao allowed us to experience his radiating field of "chi" (life force energy).  Following this initial introduction to Tai Chi, I began studying with Master Tsao.  I've since come to appreciate his remarkable skills and ability to communicate this ancient science and art to students at all levels of experience. Tsao's fundamental Compact Tai Chi is much more than a form of exercise.  It is a self-healing approach that enhances and maintains health, and prevents disease by balancing the body, mind and spirit.

The word "master" is often overused today.  The true Master of any discipline must be able to communicate the basics to beginners.  He must have the skill and knowledge to convey complexity to advanced students.  In addition to being a great practitioner, he must be able to effectively pass down the traditions, philosophy, and greater Truths.  Master Tsao is a Master! 

Michael Kirby, CISSP, GSEC, GSNA I would like to compliment you on your book, "Compact Tai Chi." I work for the Department of State and travel worldwide. Until recently, I had my short and long form Yang style Taiji that I could practice. Many times in different parts of the world, my space is limited when doing Taiji.  Your form "Compact Tai Chi" allows me to practice daily and not have any more excuses.   

James Tuttle, Programmer  I have a very stressful career as an attorney manager. Since learning Tai Chi from Jesse Tsao, I have improved my concentration and productivity at work. My physical health has also been improving. I have more energy and am sick less often. I seldom have headaches anymore.

I am 50 years old and suffer hereditary hypertension. I was under a doctor's care and took couple prescriptions to reduce my diastolic from 109 to 96, which still puts me in a high risk of heart attack. After taking just 6 weeks of Jesse's Compact Tai Chi class, my diastolic went down to 82. I am now at the completion of my 2nd course and have experienced readings as low as 76. With a little time and small open space, I was able to practice Tai Chi and make an important lifestyle change.
