Tai Chi (Taiji Quan) and Chinese Martial Arts
with an emphasis on health and energy cultivation

​

Certificates are offered in the styles listed below, which can be learned through a combination of in-person and online private classes taught by Gao Lao Shi (Ken Cohen) near Boulder, Colorado. Although there are occasional group classes (in-person or online), these are not sufficient to be certified as a teacher. Individual one-to-one training is required to supplement what is learned in groups. Out of area and international students are welcome schedule intensives of two-hour private in-person classes on consecutive days. There are convenient hotels near the teaching locations. 

 

Teachers of these arts, as well as students who have extensive previous experience may be able to complete requirements in a shorter period of time. Certification is offered to document achievement and is not related licensed career training as offered by professional organizations or state and federal licensing agencies.

​

The certificates are given at the discretion of Gao Lao Shi (Ken Cohen) and require demonstration of skill, knowledge, and ethical character. There are no added tuition or fees beyond the usual cost of classes and workshops.
