Tai Chi Chuan workshop, Saratoga NY October 15, 2023
Maryland workshop, 6/30/20240

I have been attending Sunday afternoon workshops with Master David B. Alexander since last winter, meeting once a month.

Even though I have been studying T'ai-Chi Chuan for over 40 years I always feel that I learn something new in each of the classes. David provides a calm and supportive environment that is quite conducive to learning. He is a keen observer and gives clear, positive feedback.

David Alexander’s workshops are an excellent opportunity to practice and improve Tai Chi skills and understanding.

A senior student of Grandmaster William C. C. Chen, David’s workshops offer a welcoming, accepting environment for beginning, intermediate, and advanced Tai Chi practitioners to learn together.

David B. Alexander is an excellent and patient teacher who clearly interprets Grandmaster William CC Chen’s method of Tai Chi Chuan. The curriculum he teaches in his workshops is thorough and sincere. I highly recommend him. Your Taichi will improve whether you are a beginner or advanced student.

I highly recommend the tai chi lessons and workshops with David. Not only has he mastered the forms and techniques, but is able to explain the underlying body mechanics.

This becomes more apparent when push hands and martial art applications are taught and practiced. He is able to teach at all levels, is very patient and provides a safe and very enjoyable learning experience.

Love this school!

The instructor is amazing. He is patient and really understands the deepness of the art he is teaching (which makes sense considering his decades of experience).

Receive insights about Tai Chi Chuan practice, as well as information on local and online classes and events.

Tai Chi Chuan is simultaneously a practice that enhances a healthy mind and body, and also teaches the body mechanics suitable for martial arts and for success in other sports and activities such as dance and music performance.

In the practice of classical Tai Chi Chuan, what is most often sought after is the combination of martial art / physical benefits with development of mental well-being and vitality. These two aspects go hand-in-hand and are not really separate considerations.
