If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you !
Sifu Thomas Apfel
Since my young days, I've been fascinated by Eastern, in particular Chinese, wisdom and philosophy.
Later in my career, the need to balance the high stress level of my daily life became more and more evident. Several methods I tried were not effective though. They provided neither the much needed deep relaxation, nor the fresh energy, which I was looking for.
Finally in 1993, under adventurous circumstances - among others, a motorcycle accident in the hills of San Franciso - I got to know Master Lam who had just published his first book. Momentarily, I was convinced by the power and results of his extraordinary Chi Kung.
It didn't take long, and regular Chi Kung training became an essential part of my life. From that time on, I have mastered the steadily increasing professional requirements in the best of health and with inner strength and serenity.
Since I'm experiencing the benefits of Chi Kung every day, I am always very happy to convey this art to my students.
I wholeheartedly invite you to discover the positive effects of Chi Kung for yourself !
