Sifu Nathan J. Menaged

His passion for transmitting these Arts is exemplified in his relaxed and simultaneous energetic teaching style that is down-to-earth and easy to understand.

As principal instructor, Nathan has more than twenty years of teaching experience and has been conducting workshops in the U.S. and Europe for the past fifteen years.

In 1976, his journey in the Martial Arts began with Taiani Kancho in Okinawan Gojuryu and was awarded 3rd degree black belt in that system. This quest then brought him to the Chinese Internal Martial Arts, becoming a senior disciple of Grandmasters Wm. C.C. Chen and the late Dr. Tao Ping-Siang. Grandmaster Chen regularly visits and teaches at this school.

The Art that is taught at the school is a distinct culmination of the modern approach of the Body Mechanics of Wm. C.C. Chen Tai Chi Chuan, the unique style of Dr. Tao's yielding and the importance of nimbleness and assessing a situation as learned from Taiani Kancho
