Sifu Thomas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Since my youth, I’ve been fascinated by Eastern, in particular Chinese, wisdom and philosophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in my career in the IT industry, the need to balance the high stress levels of my daily life became more and more apparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several methods I tried were not effective though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They provided neither the much needed deep relaxation, nor the fresh energy, which I was looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally in 1993, under adventurous circumstances – among others, a motorcycle accident in the hills of the Silicon Valley – I got to know Master Lam who had just published his first book The Way of Energy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Momentarily, I was convinced by the power and results of his extraordinary Chi Kung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn’t take long, and regular Chi Kung training became an essential part of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From that time on, I have mastered the steadily increasing professional requirements of my career in the IT industry in the best of health and with inner strength and serenity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, I’m experiencing the benefits of Chi Kung every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is always a great pleasure for me to teach this art to my students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wholeheartedly invite you to discover the positive effects of Chi\u00a0Kung for yourself !<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
