Lum Fut Ga | From Our Students "In addition to the benefits of balance, flexibility and a pain free back, Sifu Mark Cheng has given me serenity and a sense of well-being through the practice of tai chi. Taught with focus and discipline, yet often with a sense of humor, Sifu has been a wonderful instructor, and tai chi is part of my daily life." - Mary Goodfader “I have had the pleasure of knowing Mark Cheng for over three years. During that time, I have come to find that his skills as both a Martial Arts instructor and a practitioner of Chinese medicine are nothing short of remarkable. I first became acquainted with Mark when he was referred to me as an individual who might assist with my conditioning and training in Kenpo Karate, an art that I studied for over 20 years. Although Mark did not have an intimate familiarity with Kenpo, his exceptionally broad background in and deep understanding of a whole range of martial arts aided me immeasurably in improving my technique. Although Mark's abilities
in the Martial Arts are extraordinary, I would venture to say
that they are exceeded by his skills as a medical practitioner.
By my nature, I am extremely skeptical as it relates to non-traditional
(i.e. non-western) forms of medicine. The results that Mark
has achieved both with regard to various ailments and injuries
that I have had and with regard to friends I have referred to
him have truly been extraordinary. Indeed, he has often succeeded
in treating conditions that could not be successfully resolved
through traditional western treatments.” - Mark Rosenthal
“Little did I know eight years ago when I began to learn Tai Chi that I was about to make a life commitment--to strength, balance, grace, awareness, patience and discipline. These rewards, and more, are part of my evolving practice thanks to Mark Cheng's superb guidance, lifelong involvement and personal skill. All of which he brings to class each and every week; all of which he offers with a light touch, a keen eye and a mastery that truly inspires.” - Laurie Levin
“Thanks to Master Mark Cheng I have had the great privilege and pleasure of studying and practicing Tai Chi for almost a decade. It has been a life-changing experience! Mark is an extraordinarily gifted teacher who performs Tai Chi with the utmost grace and command. Not only does he teach the full sequence of 108 moves, but he also explains the martial arts application of each move. He cares enough to not only teach his students the essential basics, but also the most subtle nuances. Even after all these years I am still learning and that's what keeps it fascinating.” - Jennifer Kellen
