Student Comments

"I move, stand, and even think differently. I have increased focus and energy, and feel more centered and attentive, yet relaxed. Greg freely shares the insights he has gleaned from his many years of martial arts study and his respectful, personalized teaching is clear, down-to-earth and appropriate for absolute beginners as well as experienced practitioners. His great sense of humor also makes each class fun! Every single body could benefit from practicing T'ai Chi with Greg." - Mark B., chiropractor

"Tremendous tempo, careful attention to detail, and a dynamic 'no attitude' classroom atmosphere makes his the best class of any sort I have ever had the privilege of attending." - Ted U., athletic coach.

"The intense focus of Tai chi practice brings me a certain calm. It is different from the calm I get in the practice of painting. When I paint I use very loud music to tune out the outside world and my personal inside chatter. Tai chi has the same effect in silence!"- Maria L., artist

"I've learned how to consciously release my chronic tension, both during T'ai Chi practice and at other times. I also love the ever-present sense of being centered while in movement." - Maureen M., midwife

"I've been on the martial arts path since 1968, but it wasn't until I found Greg Brodsky that I felt I had finally arrived at the true "Yu Men," or Gate of Jade. His approach is direct and true to what T'ai Chi Ch'uan is about."- Gene E., writer

"Because of severe arthritis in my knees, I've lived with disabling pain for years. Almost from the beginning of T'ai Chi classes with Greg and Ching, I experienced less stiffness and pain. During a recent episode, my pain was so bad that I almost couldn't drive my car because I couldn't press the pedals. I went to class anyway and followed instructions. Staying within the T'ai Chi principles I could feel the energy flow to where it was supposed to flow. About half-way through the class, my pain significantly diminished. It is rare to have my bouts of intense pain to subside so quickly. By the end of the class, I was motivated!" - Julia W., retired nurse

"For the first time, I can feel harmony in my body." - Susan P., music teacher
