H. Won Tai Chi Chuan Association - New York, New York

H Wang

If you want a martial art form that you could continue well into the old age and without the blood and bruise of the most kungfu styles, H Won Tai Chi is for you. Here you will learn the authentic Yang style as passed down through the family, train in the rare opportunity of pushing hands with an amusing master/teacher, and develop the highly sought after internal power. The training will be long and arduous, but patience and perseverance will pay off. Such as I, having studied in the school for 16 years and feeling the strength continuously developing inside of me, I can honestly say it was well worth it.

如果你想学习真正的太极拳就来这里。金师傅是杨家太极拳的第六代嫡传，内功深厚。你能学到杨家的挙法刀法枪法剑法以及快拳和双人套路。而且能练上内功及其的使用。这是你明智的选择。

I studied Tai Chi Chuan in my 20's under different instructors, and while I learned the forms and did push hand training, I felt something was missing. I'm so happy that I kept searching until I found Sifu Gim, and the search is over.
What makes Sifu Gim a great teacher is that he is knowledgeable of the internal power and manifests it in manners that are unbelievable to a passerby. He also helps us develop this internal power through continuous training.
There is only so much that can be explained here, really come experience and feel the internal power!

Sifu Gim is an official direct disciple leading back to the Yang Family Classical Tai Chi Chuan. This is authentic Tai Chi!

Here one has the rareopportunity to learn real Tai Chi power for martial art or health. Not only does Sifu Gim has the knowledge and skill of the Yang Family Classical Tai Chi, i find his teaching skill excellent. He is able to articulate clearly, break down concepts and techniques so that you can learn and absorb the material in an efficient manner.

Sifu in addition to his base in New York city also teaches lessons in Europe, Korea and Toronto. These are not one off workshops, but are ongoing lessons.

I highly recommend this school.

정통양가태극권을 2005년부터 수련하고 있는 문하생입니다. 세상에는 태극권이라는 이름으로 수없이 많은 도관과 수련생이 있습니다.

저 역시 어릴 적부터 유도, 합기도, 복싱 및 유사 태극권을 수련해왔습니다만, 에너지와 파워에 대한 갈증을 해소할 수 없었습니다.

그러다 인연이 된 김효원 사부님의 정통양가태극권은
그 이전 모든 수련 과정을 버려도 아깝지 않을 정도로 소중하였습니다.

양노선 태조사님의 태극권, 양징보 노사님으로 이어지는 정통 태극권의 파워와 에너지를 느끼고 싶다면 주저없이 찾아주시기 바랍니다. 절대 후회할 일이 없으실 것입니다 ^^

This school follows the Classical Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan lineage and uses traditional teachings to build as well as refine one’s internal energy. This internal strength lends to practical applications inside/outside the school and throughout life. Having studied under various forms of martial arts (taekwondo, shaolin kung fu, etc.), I have never felt stronger than I do now. Sifu Gim is an extraordinary Master and the students are a great group that learn and develop as a family.

정통양가태극권 한국문하생입니다.
운동이나 무술이라는 게
건강을 위해서 시작해도 좋고, 호신을 위해서 시작해도 좋겠죠.
더구나 내공무술로서의 태극권을 수련하고 싶다면
여기 정통양가태극권 말고는 거의 없다고 봅니다.
김효원 사부님은 수십년 한 대에 거의 제자를 몇 두지 않는 엄격한 전통을 가진 양가태극권의 계보가 이어진 정식제자입니다.
현재 뉴욕에서 도장을 열고 계시며, 한국에서는 주기적인 세미나로 직접 배울 수 있습니다. 사진은 김효원사부님의 뉴욕도관(효원태극권사)입니다. 강추^^
(서울에 동호회 모임으로 수련이 있으며, 대구와 순천에 김효원 사부님이 인정하신 지관이 있습니다)

If u want to be healthy & energetic
if u want to experience & enhance Negong(internal) Power
there is only one answer , Sifu Gim.
I was born very weak & powerless. It was my handicap.
But after practice taichi with Sifu Gim, I can feel I'm getting better & stronger. There are lots of taichi with NO POWER. if u learn those taichi it's a complete waste of time. That's why I recommend Sifu Gim in H.won tai chi institute. Good Luck All of u.

In 2012 I decided to learn Martil Arts.
What attracted me to Classical Yang Tai Chi Chuan is the famous 'internal power'.

I reviewed many websites and watched youtube videos searching for someone who knew how teach it.

As I read through Sifu Gim's website I instantly knew that that's who I wanted to learn from.

Sifu Gim is the second disciple of Grandmaster Gin-Soon Chu, who is the second disciple of Grandmaster Yang, Sau-Chung, and Grandmaster Yang, Sau-Chung is the eldest son of Yang, Cheng-Fu. In terms of information, a disciple would have a lot more knowledge of the curriculum than a non-disciple.

He can also cohrently explain the principles of Classical Yang Tai Chi Chuan and demonstrate them as well. He pays attention to the details. When he corrects us, the intention is to also teach us about the principles of the movement.

Learning Classical Yang Tai Chi Chuan takes dedication. It's not something you can easily buy off the shelf in a supermarket. The dedication pays off in many different ways. For instance, you learn how to relax your mind and relax your body while at the same time transforming your energy into internal power. Of course all of what you learn translates into other areas of your life. Imagine being in a situation where being relaxed, while at the same time centered and balanced, can really help you.

If you have the desire to be doing Tai Chi Chuan ... then this is the place to be doing it

If you have the desire to put in the time to train ... then this is the place to be doing it

welcome...

The other day a friend asked me has it been worth it and the answer I gave him was 'absolutely yes'. Somehow I just know that I'm heading in the right direction.
