HOMEPAGE  of BuddhaTaiChi.com

In the early 1980s, the Chinese Tai Chi masters "Shifu" of Buddha Zhen Shen-Lang, then known as Richard O'Connor, gave specific instructions not to turn the Tai Chi he was taught into "Yoga Tai Chi." Evidently these Tai Chi masters realized as early as 1981 that Americans were neutering the Chinese Tai Chi into something aesthetic and easier to learn. This Americanization of Tai Chi was viewed with disdain by Buddha Zhen's masters who made him promise to teach Tai Chi in its traditional manner with its traditional intentions.

When Buddha Zhen formed Shaolin Chi Mantis in 1992, he sent videotapes worldwide of him performing and teaching the Yang Style Tai Chi. Many Kung Fu masters sent complimentary letters with questions of how Buddha Zhen had learned the "Kwonping" or original combat style of Taijiquan.

With a constant influx of new students, used to seeing more of the Americanized Tai Chi, than the traditional Chinese Tai Chi, Buddha Zhen delights in demonstrating that Tai Chi was not designed for seniors in the park. Every movement of the Tai Chi forms are for fighting, and Buddha Tai Chi will require each student to understand and demonstrate a proficiency in using Tai Chi for self-defense.

Buddha Zhen has also been heralded as the "Best Tai Chi Instructor in the world." Every student who has come from another Tai Chi school has pointed out how the Shaolin Chi Mantis Tai Chi classes were superior in not only self-defense training, but also healing and well-being.

Each student of Buddha Tai Chi will become proficient in harnessing and controlling ther qi "chi" life force energies. Students of Buddha Zhen have been cured of a wide range of illnesses, and mental disorders that were considered incurable.

Join Buddha Tai Chi and see for yourself. ONLINE INTERNET courses are planned to start in 2009.

Then, Disciple Erin made a suggestion in one of our weekend park classes, "Buddha Zhen, you need a website named BuddhaTaiChi.com to match our BuddhaKungFu.com."

So here it is! Buddha Tai Chi at BuddhaTaiChi.com We will post pictures here of our Buddha Kung Fu students performing, practicing, and competing with their Tai Chi skills.

Thanks for all your great ideas Disciples! Your help and enthusiasm in founding our new Buddha Kung Fu school has inspired me.
