While most aspiring teachers are good, a truly great teacher is hard to find, unless you happen to stop by Columbia Tai Chi Center, a growing martial arts, health and fitness center in downtown Columbia, to observe the head instructor in action.

While a good teacher can be engaging, a GREAT teacher, like Sifu Wesley Adams, has the ability to inspire each student with the feeling that they are the only one in the room. Not only that, but Sifu Adams has the ability to teach students of every age and ability. While Columbia Tai Chi Center’s focus is adults of all skill levels, Adams has years of experience teaching youth, adults and seniors. So if you’ve ever wondered why he is able to convey information in so many different ways to accommodate different learning styles — as he would say, “practice, practice, and more practice.”
