Since I've practicing Tai Chi, I've noticed that at times when I'm feeling stressed, if I just concentrate on the breathing we've been taught, it really calms one down and relieves the stress.

We have found that Tai Chi is a great source of exercise and a new way of life. It teaches us to have awareness of our surroundings. Also to be aware of our breathing which gives us calmness, and relaxes our bodies. This also helps us to sleep. We have learned to have balance, and flexibility. With all this we can have more active life. We thank Sensei Raimondi for his great program of Tai Chi, and philosophy that Tai Chi has for us. We recommend that this can be advantageous for all school children of all grades as well as Adults.

Sensei Raimondi,
I really want to get back into Martial Arts. The impression that you made on me has transcended into all my life activities. I meditate frequently when I have a test or just when I get angry.
Thank you for all you have done for me.

Learning Tai Chi from Sensei Raimondi has been of emence help. On a trip home from New Orleans in a small plane (36 passengers) we hit severe turbulence. Some one screamed, which only added to the tenseness that went immediately to my lower back. I knew from past experience that if this continued, my spine would be out of alignment, and it would require a doctors visit, and three weeks of recovery. I began concentrated deep breathing, eyes closed, and set like stones. With in one minute, the tension left my back, my fear subsided, and I experienced some peace until the plane landed. The turbulence continued until we were on the ground.

Sensei Frank, Scott here just writing you to let you know something I've learned since coming to the school, well I think that it would be self-control. An example of this self-control is, one day I was mowing grass and a very upset man came toward me yelling and cussing. I could not understand him so I turned off the mower, and the man asked me if I was f'n stupid, and, if I knew how to mow f'n grass. Well normally I would have yelled, and cussed back. But I didn't. I just took a deep breath, and let it out, slowly, sat back, and let him get things off his chest. Well come to find out we had been mowing 3 inches of his grass, while mowing his neighbors yard. Well if I wouldn't have taken that deep breath, let it out slowly, and allowed my ego get involved, things could have went bad over 3 inches of grass. So self-control is something I learned since coming to The Body Awake Jujitsu and Tai Chi Martial Art School.Scott Taylor

In January of 1998 my husband and I took our first Tai Chi class. We both liked it very much and my husband quickly began to master the form. I, however, had problems and after the first eight week class never progressed with the form. My difficulties were due to a life long problem or poor coordination. In physical activities I found it extremely difficult to move my hands and feet in specific ways at the same time. I have never even
danced well.
My husband continued with Tai Chi using both tapes and live instructors to advance his knowledge. He mastered two forms. I became his audience and over the years was exposed to the teaching of four live instructors and two on tape. My ability to do Tai Chi did not significantly improve and I was never able to master more than a few postures and my transitions between postures were always clumsy and uncomfortable.
When my husband and I moved to Florida I was determined to try to learn Tai Chi again. We attended classes for about a month with instructor number four and things were not going any better for me. After the warm up exercises I was basically lost. Then Sensei Frank Raimondi became our instructor. Within a few weeks, I was able to learn postures and knew that I was going to be able to master Tai Chi. What was the difference?
Frank is a natural teacher who encourages and relaxes his students. His easy to learn methods teaches you how to shift your weight, turn your body correctly, and move into the proper posture. When instructed correctly Tai Chi is very intuitive. Sensei Raimondi shows you how to move your hands, feet, and body naturally into the correct position.
I am very happy to have Frank as a teacher and to have finally learned a Tai Chi form.

I started training with Sensei Frank and the Body Awake Ju Jitsu when I was five years old. Throughout the years I learned the discipline, dedication, and respect which can only be instilled by the hard work and perseverance that it takes to succeed in this martial arts system. Without Sensei Frank, I don't think that today, at 25 years old, I would be graduating medical school and succeeding in my personal life. See, the great thing about Body Awake Martial Arts system is that the Sensei not only teaches you how to take care of yourself in an emergency situation, but also in your everyday life as well. I would strongly suggest that anyone who wants to feel more confident, capable and in better control of their own life to contact Sensei Frank as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Dr. David Pincus
