Sifu DeJesus presents Tai Chi as a means of healthy exercise, and also acknowledges its roots as a martial art. This allows her students to better understand the total nature of the art. A very patient, knowledgeable (over 30 years in martial arts) teacher, she considers herself a life-long student, and because of this outlook continually strives to self improve, and make class time informative, and fun. She also incorporates the Hawaiian notion of ohana (family) in the school. It's a lot of work, and a lot of fun. We leave class a little happier and calmer than when we started.
