GO BEYOND FORM



INTO THE TAI CHI SPACE

 

Yang Style Tai Chi

The Yang form taught by Yang Cheng Fu, a direct descendant of the Yang family, is a superb balance between ease of learning and depth of internals for beginning and intermediate practitioners. Paul Cavel teaches Mini, Short, and Medium Forms derived from the Long Form and powered by neigong.

ABOUT
Wu Style Tai Chi

Wu tai chi takes the art to its pinnacle, becoming a form of moving meditation. All principles adhere to the 16 neigong system, as passed down by Master Frantzis. Paul Cavel teaches the Wu Long Form, which includes complete and balanced Mini, Short and Medium Forms to train along the way.

Authentic Tai Chi Lineages

“Paul Cavel is a gifted teacher who is able to embody the arts and break them down into easy-to-follow steps. I have seen him help others build extraordinary energetic foundations in their bodies”.
