Serenity Tai Chi teaches classes in Wu Ji Jing Gong Tai Chi introduced to America
by Master William Ting. Distinguishing aspects of this Tai Chi include attention to
relaxing hips and shoulders where people unconsciously store tension. To counter this,
students are told to "sit", by imagining being about to sit on a high stool. One
then tends to bend the knees slightly and lower tail bone to the ground without
effort. To complete the posture, students stand tall and erect as though the head
is pulled up by a thread attached the top of the head.
The result is a posture that is grounded, stable, and loose.
The instructor, David Kerr, has studied intensively with Master William Ting
since 1992, learning Qi Gong, the first, second, and third section of the form,
sword, fan, bagua, and push hands.
Tai Chi is a gentle exercise, appropriate for all ages.
Doing Tai Chi lowers blood pressure, reduces stress, improves balance,
strengthens the immune system, and helps to heal chronic conditions.
Over time, regular practice of Tai Chi will affect your everyday movements and
perspective.
You can become not only more graceful and poised,
but also serene in all situations.
Classes are held at the Center at Norpoint, 4818 Nassau Ave NE, Tacoma WA
Essential Concepts of Tai Chi, by Master William Ting
Master Ting sets forth a deep path of discovery for the Tai Chi
practitioner of every style and level. He describes and explains the
Basic Foundational Principles normally shared only between the closed-
door student and the Master under whom he studies. What makes this book
stand out is the clarity of language and imagery used to explain
concepts often misunderstood, or simply missing, due to translation
difficulties and a reluctance to share this special knowledge with more
than just a privileged few. He carefully presents, chapter by chapter, a
blueprint of study which ultimately reveals the internal elements so
often forgotten or overlooked by modern students.
What Master Ting hopes to do is to make you the
master of your own Tai Chi.

Qigong is an integrated mind-body healing method that has been practiced

life-threatening conditions. Now in this fascinating, comprehensive
volume, renowned qigong master and China scholar Kenneth S. Cohen
explains how you too can integrate qigong into your life--and harness
