Testimonials
Emil has a unique and highly effective teaching method, as well as a generous nature that moves him to share his many years of experience. As a Push Hands teacher Emile uses his skill and sensitivity to guide you through a process of discovery that dissolves the distractions that get in the way of truly connecting, making it possible to experience the difference between contact and connection. Working with him I have come to better understand the T’ai Chi Classics: ‘From familiarity with the correct touch, one gradually comprehends chin; from the comprehension of chin one can reach wisdom.’ I highly recommend working with Emil.
“I have known Emil for a number of years, and consider it a great opportunity to have been able to practice with him. He is one of those rare practitioner/teachers with a varied background and stylistically open mind, who has pursued the art of t’ai ji for its spiritual benefits as well as its practical martial arts and health applications. Highly recommended.”
I had the opportunity to join Emil last month for a very insightful push hands class. Emil is the real deal! He knows Chi and more importantly, knows how to teach others this very subtle yet powerful aspect of traditional Tai Chi Chuan push hands.
“My special interest is push hands. I have studied with Emil for only a few months, yet he has already opened up a whole new world of the internal arts to me. His martial technique is outstanding, and he has an unusual ability to articulate abstract concepts so they are understandable.”
Hey Emil! I really appreciate your classes. It is a challenge, yet you make it easy and enjoyable to learn. It’s a sweet oasis of Heaven away from the wild world. I always leave super energized and I feel I’m progressing well. I appreciate being with the other smiling faces in the group, as well. Thanks so much!
Emil is a very gifted Teacher and it feels great to be able to practice under these beautiful trees on top of a hill ? Truly a wonderful experience!
Terrific session this morning.. Good folks.. Great vibe.. Thanks once again, Emil, for the opportunity to connect with restorative activity. Namaste ?
“Emil’s teaching capabilities are natural. Emil likes to share and as an individual, he is generous, patient and compassionate…”
“ … What you showed me was both very subtle but also very accessible, and I’m confident that it’s something I can better develop. I’m thrilled to have been given just the key I’ve been looking for at this point in my training, so thank you very much.”
Thank you Emil! This was a wonderful experience. For a beginner like me I was afraid not to be able to follow, but it was not bad at all! The warm-up helped a lot to get some understanding of the movement. The park is wonderful with plenty of parking.
“Emil was generous to share with us not only what he learned but also what he was discovering through years of practice. While I have been studying tai chi far longer than Emil has, I have learned a great deal from him.”
