Health, Fitness and Weight Loss

Confidence and Inner Strength
Tai Chi is a style of Chinese Kung Fu (a martial art, like karate), and if trained properly is excellent for fitness and self-defense–and martial arts is universally regarded as one of the best possible ways to lose weight and build self-confidence.

Why Tai Chi?
I know it might be hard to believe that by simply learning and practicing Tai Chi you can…
Because how can you know unless you give it a try?
I’d love to meet you and give you a free class so that you can…
Do you just want to do a little Tai Chi, or do you want to really change your life for the better by learning complete, traditional Tai Chi?
I have been a professional Tai Chi teacher for most of my adult life at my teacher Master Eric Sbarge’s school, The Peaceful Dragon, in Charlotte NC. I moved here from Charlotte to start a center where the people of Columbia could go to benefit as much from learning complete, authentic, traditional Tai Chi training as I have personally. My goal from day one has been to teach and pass on the art of Tai Chi Chuan in its complete form so that there is a place people can go to get the full benefit of the art, and so that the complete art is passed on to the next generation.
Students here at Columbia Tai Chi Center frequently comment how nice it is to be among such positive, helpful, and dedicated students
In Chinese traditions, the other students at your school are your brothers and sisters in the art of Tai Chi. You can really feel that tradition is alive and well here at Columbia Tai Chi Center. I know for a fact that you will be amongst positive, motivated students because I conduct every enrollment personally – and I only encourage people to join when I feel like they are in the right place for the right reasons. Unlike most Tai Chi classes, we don’t accept “drop-in” students that breeze in for an occasional class: Every student who is enrolled here is serious about changing their life for the better through the lifelong study and practice of Tai Chi. I could easily have twice as many students as I do now, which would make the center more profitable, but I’ve learned over the years not to sign up everyone who walks in the door. I encourage a cooperative and close knit community of students. You will be in the fellowship of motivating, helpful students working together for the benefit of all. I don’t encourage competition or comparison. We have different shirt colors and traditional sashes so you can tell how long a student has been here and what program they are in, but as far as learning Tai Chi, each student goes at their own pace.
