A Twist of Fate Leads Paul to Tai Chi

By his early twenties, Paul was in poor physical and emotional health. He had been in a serious motorcycle accident that left him limping and unable to easily get around. The pain affected him deeply.

He found himself depressed and sitting on the edge of a sea cliff contemplating his future. As a storm came in, something inside him just let go.

As he sat there, he began to notice how his body would automatically shift in the wind to maintain his balance. He didn’t have to think about it. As he further observed how his body adjusted to the storm, he felt he was tapping into something deep inside of himself and blending with the natural elements that encompassed him. The questions then arose:

How can I access this relaxed control at will?
How can I blend with the natural flow of life?

After several hours, an answer emerged:

Tai chi. Tai chi will lead you were you want to go.

Paul had never practised tai chi before and had only heard about it from a friend—he wasn’t really sure what it was. He followed his intuition and started his first tai chi class shortly thereafter. After the second class he said:

I know this is was what I’m meant to do for the rest of my life.

Tai chi, along with qigong, bagua and meditation, helped him to heal his injuries in time. After stabilising, he began strengthening his body, emotions and mind to take on greater challenges of rooting out the spiritual malaise he felt his whole life. Today he continues his practises and often find that his twenty-something students aren’t as physically fit as he is, now in his forties!

Paul's Training

Paul began his studies in the internal chi arts with tai chi chuan in 1987. Two years later he began focusing deeply on the Taoist neigong taught by his teacher Bruce after realising this was the core material from which the internal arts were powered.

In 1994 Paul stepped up the intensity of his training by moving to California where he lived and studied with his teacher for more than a year. It was during this time that Paul received a solid grounding in Bagua Chang. He fused his previously learnt neigong into the bagua palm changes using the original pre-birth Circle Walking method.

After leaving California, Paul began teaching qigong, bagua and tai chi with the encouragement of his teacher. Paul continues to train with the intent of moving into the deeper aspects of energy arts, including meditation.

Paul regularly assists his teacher Bruce with training and leads teaching sessions during worldwide Frantzis Energy Arts, Inc. Instructor Trainings.

The level of material Paul teaches is really well-gauged to the people being taught.
