Tai Chi Chuan
Authentic Yang Style
Tai Chi Chuan is one of my passions in life. I love the feeling of having strong legs, good balance, strong and flexible body, concentration, meditation in movement. A combination of dance (which I love as well) and martial arts. No one is going to surprise me on a dark alley...
I have been practicing Authentic Yang Style Tai-chi since 1996. I began studying with Master Fu Sheng Yuan (5th generation to the Yang family) when I lived in Perth, Australia. Later, I continued studying with his disciple Paul Brown in Melbourne. I went numerous times to China to study with James Fu (Fu Qing Quan), 6th generation to the Yang family. I was very fortunate to study with the best Tai Chi Masters of Authentic Yang Style. I competed in International Wushu competitions and won some medals. In the last 3 years I had the opportunity to spent 4 months every year in Shanghai, studying Tai Chi and the sword forms with James and his disciple - Dragon.
I teach Tai Chi in Haifa, Israel, to people of all ages, who find it very beneficial to their health and general well being.
