"Learning Tai Chi from Sang and Joseph has been a true blessing. I used to have a lot of lower back and knee pain, especially after a long day of field work as a local organic farmer or else slouching in front of a computer. Now I know how to use my core strength and kinetic chains of muscles in my body and standing tall has become an effortless pleasure... It's the best way to start the day."

"Tai-Chi with DojoKitchen has not only helped me manage my stress, but has also improved my physical strength. What I didn't expect was that in addition to my emotional and physical well being was the practical application of the movements for self-defense... Since joining the class I feel more emotionally balanced with a greater understanding on how to handle life's ups and downs.
