Over the decades, I've travelled almost two million miles, perhaps more than anyone else has ever travelled just to teach Tai Chi! And every mile has been worth it. Each journey has brought me into contact with people from all walks of life, people who wanted to improve their health, find balance, or simply discover the inner peace Tai Chi can bring.

Teaching Tai Chi has always been a passion for me. In fact, when I look back, I realise that I’ve probably taught and trained more Tai Chi instructors and participants than anyone else in the world.

A Letter from Officer Chris Bianez

Safety Officer Chris Bianez became a Certified Instructor in June 2025. He shared this “Safety Minute” video to help our community and this touching letter after his first Tai Chi for Arthritis class. Thank you, and congratulations, Chris!

Dear Dr. Lam and Master Trainer Patricia Lawson:

I wanted to share a quick milestone and a heartfelt thank-you. I’ve just completed teaching my first Tai Chi for Arthritis class, and we gathered end-of-course feedback from all participants. The results—and the stories—were deeply encouraging, and I’m grateful for both of you in making this possible.

We started with 18 students and all finished.

Highlights from the student feedback (18/18 responses):

94.4% reported being very satisfied and rated the instruction as extremely effective. They reported benefits including improved balance (83%), flexibility (83%), posture (72%), overall well-being (67%), and stress management (50%). Nearly all would recommend the program to others and are likely/very likely to continue if offered again
A few anonymous student comments that especially touched me:
“This is a lifelong investment in our health … and a win-win all around. One more way Plano exhibits its City of Excellence.”
“I had pain in my hip every morning—that has gone away in the last two weeks.”
“The instructor goes over each move from front, side, back & repeat. He wants everyone to learn and benefit.”

With gratitude,

Officer Chris Bianez
Plano Police Department – Crime Prevention Unit
Certified Tai Chi for Health Instructor

Since we create Tai Chi for energy many years ago, I have found something interesting: practicing Tai Chi for Energy improved not only my Sun style and Chen style, but also my Tai Chi overall. How can the program with only 3 Sun style and 3 Chen style movements deepened my understanding of both the more complex 73 Sun style and 56 Chen style sets?

I was looking forward to my workshops in Switzerland and the USA. On the way, I stayed in Hong Kong, a city close to my heart. I almost wished I could stay longer. Strangely, that thought turned prophetic.

I truly enjoyed my stay... until the typhoon struck.

Nearly half a century ago, when I first introduced acupuncture into my Western family medical practice, many of my colleagues thought I was “out of my mind.” They politely distanced themselves, believing that such ideas had no place in modern medicine. How times have changed! Today, acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine as a whole are recognised and respected worldwide.
