Hi, I'm Joe, and I've been training in martial arts for over 25 years, especially in Tai Chi styles.

I'm offering lessons in Yang Style [24 movement simplified], and for those who wish to continue, Chen Style [Feng's 48].

My classes also draw on basics from other styles and dance, as needed, to get across the required lesson. I emphasize strong basics, and well rounded understanding,
including applications.

"I promise I won't waste your time, and I won't teach you wrong."

Currently I'm available only for privates in Portland, Oregon.
Very reasonable rates.
