Jeff began his Tai Chi Chuan journey in 1998 as a means to improve his health. He started with the Yang Style Simplified 24 and 88 posture forms under the direction of Tom Keenan and Zhang Fuxing. Jeff then studied a 108 Yang style form with You, Yong. In 2003 he was introduced to Kentucky Center Director Carl Meeks. After attending Master Yang Jun’s Hand Seminar in Louisville, Kentucky that year he joined the International Association and became a student of the Traditional Yang Family Style. Jeff has studied the different Hand Forms, as well as, the Sword, Saber and Push Hands. He has been fortunate to attend numerous seminars held by Master Yang Jun, as well as, the Master’s Forum in Canada (2006), the Master’s Symposium in Nashville (2009) and to compete in the Third International Tournament in Shanxi, China (2007.)
