Taiji is an ancient martial art and health or healing art based on natural movement.  It is about the flow of energy in the body and as the practitioner advances, it is about the transfer of energy between people.  So for that reason it is an Internal Martial Art.  It is an extremely powerful martial art that does not rely on muscle strength.  With that being said, it is like a diamond and for those who do it, they will a bit at a time, become aware of its many facets that cannot be expressed here.  Nothing mystical, no magic.  To experience the great benefits of Taiji you simply must do it.

Grandmaster Tom Mazzaferro

A Grandmaster in Tae Kwon Do and a blackbelt in Hapkido, Grandmaster Tom Mazzaferro will be teaching the internal art of Yang Style Taiji (Tai Chi).

With a number of great influences and great teachers in his martial arts life, the most profound and memorable are Grand Master Won Keun Bai, Suk Jun Kim, Phap Lu and General Choi Hong Hi (Founder of Tae Kwon Do). He has also been greatly influenced by Erle Montaigue (President and Founder of the WTBA- World Taiji Boxing Association).  It is Erle who has helped GM Mazzaferro take his Taiji to where it is today.

Today, as a practitioner of the Internal Martial Arts (Taiji), his philosophy is to keep learning, keep teaching and to teach my students as I would my family and closest friends.

We are proud to have him as part of the MSDA family.

Taji classes will be held Wednesday evenings from 6:30pm – 8:00pm
