It has been some time to have a practice in Wilshire Body & Brain Center in Korea Town, since in-person training was not made due to Covid-19. Having practice in Body & Brain Center gives a vitality to my every day life. Today was an energy-flowing session after normal stretching in the beginning.
Studying at Chen Bing Taiji Academy has been an extraordinary experience for me. After spending a little over half a year training in just the primary curriculum, I can safely say this school is a treasure that I will not be leaving any time soon.
Sifu Scott is an incredible teacher! The students that attend the school are great partners no matter what size you are or what shape you are in athletically. We take classes with all adults but they have kids classes as well.
