I have been studying Tai Chi Chuan for over 20 years. I not only  received my Teacher Certificate by Grandmaster William CC Chen, I also traveled to Taiwan and passed a rigorous examination in order to receive an internationally recognized Black Belt certification from the IKFF. In 2015 I was bestowed the “Master” title from Grandmaster Chen in New York City. From 2010 through 2015 I studied under the late Master Luis Molera learning Taiji Fan, Staff and Shibashi qigong. I have competed in numerous National and International competitions, and was awarded several medals in form, weapons and Tuishou (push Hands). I also am a certified National judge from USKSF.
