 Still Mountain T’ai Chi and Chi Kung is dedicated to authentic T’ai Chi Chuan as practiced in Buddhist Temples in China—namely, the combined emphasis upon spiritual cultivation, the health of body and mind, and the art of self-defense.
T’ai Chi Chuan (or taijiquan or Tai Chi) has been practiced for thousands of years, and has evolved into a number of different styles including Chen, Yang, and Wu, each of which has a distinctive flavor but shares in the common goal of developing the physical and mental health of the practitioner. Still Mountain T’ai Chi and Chi Kung offers a number of classes, seminars, and workshops that cover a wide variety of styles and forms, but at its core, Still Mountain seeks to remain faithful to the authentic lineage of T’ai Chi and is committed to teaching that essence to a diverse range of people.
Dr. David Clippinger, the Director of Still Mountain, has decades of experience studying Buddhism, Taoism, Traditional Chinese Medicine, T’ai Chi, Chi Kung, and Daoyin (Taoist Yoga). As a Ch’an (Zen Buddhist) monk, Clippinger is dedicated to integrating the spiritual dimension of T’ai Chi alongside self-defense and general health training.
Dr. Clippinger is a master T’ai Chi teacher and is fully dedicated to sharing his expertise with others.
