TAI CHI SOCIETY

University's study in the USA:

According to a university s study in the USA, Tai Chi reshapes the brain, as compared to other traditional exercises. Regular Tai Chi practice showed significantly thicker cortex in the precentral gyrus, insula sulcus and the middle frontal sulcus in the brain's right hemisphere and superior temporal gyrus and medial occipito-temporal sulcus and the lingual sulcus in the left hemisphere. Moreover, the study found that a thicker cortex in the left medial occipito-temporal sulcus and lingual sulcus was associated with greater intensity of Tai Chi practice. These findings indicate that long-term Tai Chi practice can induce beneficial regional structural change.

Tai Chi Society's students' testimonials:

Over the past few years I ve enrolled in other Tai Chi classes and have learned very little.

Fortunately, I found Kellen s class at North Sydney.

Kellen is a professional in every sense of the word. He understands the problems beginners have in navigating the complexities involved in Tai Chi and offers clear and concise explanations to all students.

After completing just 6 classes with Kellen I noticed my arthritic finger on my right hand was feeling a lot better. Previously to Tai Chi, I regularly applied anti-inflammatory cream to the finger to ease the pain.

Also, I notice that my energy levels have increased since I began the lessons.

Don t waste your time and energy searching for Tai Chi classes. You won t find better than Kellen s classes.

Sincerely,
Cath Stokes



Hello Grandmaster Kellen,

I used to teach a qigong class 5 days a week to our patients at a mental center for 8 years. But I have been retired in my career since 2015 and no longer teach qigong. I have tried 100 qigong methods since first learning the other Qigong in 2006. Your qigong methods have been one of the most enjoyable to perform.

Sydney 23rd November 2006

My name is Sam Dyson. After attaining a degree in Engineering from Oxford University in England I have developed an interest in Tai Chi and martial arts. I learnt Tai Chi in London, Sapporo in Japan, and later on in Australia. I furthered the study of Tai Chi at Tai Chi society in Sydney in 2000, and completed an advanced learning and an instructor course in 2004 taught by Great Grand Master Kellen Chia; it was an eye-opening experience Great Grand Master Chia taught me how to perform Tai Chi at the highest level, explaining the body mechanics and the many intricacies involved. In my experience, his expertise is unmatched and his instruction is of the highest quality. Tai Chi, when practiced correctly, is truly remarkable; I am calmed, energized and full of vitality as a result. I am grateful to have been taught by Great Grand Master Kellen Chia.

Sincerely Your s
Sam Dyson



I participated in my first Tai Chi class in August 2004. My instructor the Grand Master Kellen Chia from the Tai Chi Society. I had been thinking about attending Tai Chi classes for quite a long time. Apart from learning a new investment. The lesson began with exercises called Qigong and was followed by Tai Chi. The pace of the lesson was easy to follow and steps repeated until all the participants were comfortable with their interaction with the Leader. 16 years later, I am still participating in Tai Chi classes. At times, during those years I was tempted to stop. At times after a long day at work, on my feet all day, I felt too tired to go to my class. I had to talk myself into attending the class as I always felt relaxed and energised at the end of the session. Now it is 2020 and I am still enjoying my Tai Chi classes. I am grateful that I had faith in my choice of Tai Chi as a wellbeing investment. It has worked for me.

Brain tumours and Immortal Ten Qigong

On 8th September, 2015, I suffered a seizure and was admitted to hospital.

Initially the medication caused some interesting side-effects. I had some loss of inhibition, felt energetic in the morning, and exhausted and irritable in the afternoon and evening.

When I had been taking the medication for two days I had an episode of hyperactivity which lasted about 3 hours. I felt like my mind was racing, I couldn't stop giggling, and I was extremely fidgety which made me want to dance. It was a pleasant experience at first, but after 3 hours I was getting very concerned. I decided to practice some Qigong in an attempt to centre my emotional state, and to my surprise, in less than two minutes of practicing Immortal Ten Qigong, my mood swang from high to low. I laid down on my hospital bed and cried for a couple of minutes.

I have been attending Tai Chi classes for about 16 months and I can really recommend it to anybody looking for some relaxation and inner peace...
After a stressfull day at work or a busy day at home with my gorgous children, I love the energising feeling of Qigong followed by continuous practice in Tai Chi movements which Great Grand Master Kellen Chia is teaching in a very meticulous, passionate but relaxing way. It s truly beneficial for body and soul!
