Hello there,

http://aikidoshobukancork.com/aboutus.html

You have "Shaolin Kung Fu" down there in the Taiji list. What style is it that you teach? "Shaolin Kung Fu" is very vague


Thanks

I teach a Yang Style Tai Chi long form. Depending on the level of interest shown by my students I introduce more dynamic forms in class, which may be Tai Chi Weapons, Chi Kung or basic Shaolin Kung Fu forms. I am not a Kung Fu teacher, I teach Tai Chi. My concept of self-defense is “defending from Self.” I practice a Chen Style long form which I used to teach in the U.S.
I also teach Aikido. For me training in Aikido is yang and training in Tai Chi is yin; the application of Aikido is yin and the application of Tai Chi is yang… fusing both is true intention. For more information please visit: www.TaiChiCork.com. That web site has both, information on Tai Chi and Aikido classes as well as a background on both arts and my instructors (lineage). If you have any additional questions please let me know.
