"With your help I have begun to recognize the finer movements
of the body. It has amazed me how relaxed and rejuvenated I feel."
—Rich C.
"Oliver took me from being a perpetual 20 year multi-attempt
Tai Chi dropout to finally being on a path of practice and growth in
the form. I have benefitted from his low-key, clear instruction, self-effacing
good humor, and gentle careful attention to the essential, real details.
He gets to know his students, meeting each at his/her level. When I
practice the form and Chi Gung, I do not feel that I am doing Oliver's
Tai Chi, but that it is really my own. Like any good teacher (of the
esoteric arts, or otherwise), I feel that what he has given me may come
from within him, but it is now mine."
—Don S.
"I really appreciated the liveliness, energy and good humor
you always bring to classes. Your enthusiasm is infectious."
—Jody L.
"In addition to sharing Oliver's deep knowledge of the subject
and providing excellent hands-on instruction, Oliver makes his classes
fun by injecting a good dose of humor into his teaching method."
—Sergei R.
"Thanks for introducing me to a wonderful new part of my life
that I'm sure I will enjoy for years."
—Bret M.
"Oliver has an excellent ability to teach in a very clear
manner. He is an excellent practitioner of the material the he teaches
yet can still relate to the novice beginner. He works very hard to make
sure his classes are relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable."
—Janak S.
"After the first lesson I was hooked. What looked so easy
when I saw others do Tai Chi turned out not to be so simple at all,
but thanks to Oliver's excellent instructions I learned steadily from
week to week. If I couldn't "get" a move, Oliver always knew
a different way of explaining things. Oliver is a skilled instructor
and has a great sense of humor that makes every class a treat."
— Hanne B.
"I've taken many classes with Oliver and he is an excellent
teacher. He knows the material cold, and always makes his classes fun
and interesting."
