 Master Tsao is the creator of Compact
Tai Chi™. The Compact
Tai Chi™ book has been translated into other languages
(Spanish and Hungarian), and is
distributed worldwide.
Compact Tai Chi™ is an easy
Tai Chi routine developed for busy people practicing in a limited space, such as
in the office, hotel, living room or bedroom. The routine folds and coils
major Tai Chi styles' linear forms into a circular format, thereby reducing
the space needed dramatically. It is designed to accommodate an ancient
Tai Chi and Qigong into a health promotion art for the 
battle against modern
stressful life. The San Diego Union-Tribune Newspapers praises,
"Compact Tai Chi is a Perfect Fit" for corporate wellness programs.
Master Tsao has produced a series of instructional
videotapes for Compact
Tai Chi™ training. He has certified
Compact Tai Chi instructors
worldwide.

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.
