Cultivating Your Inner Essence Through Tai Chi

EP 28: Cultivating Your Inner Essence Through Tai Chi with Frank Banuelos

Frank has been studying and practicing Tai Chi for over 10 years. He was fortunate to be taught a very old form of the Yang style of Tai Chi that was brought to America by Master Fu-Yaun Ni and passed on to him by Master Ni's former student and retired teacher Gary Kukuk. Frank teaches both the martial application (self defense) and the meditative aspects of Tai Chi.

Frank loves sharing and teaching all the wonderful benefits that Tai Chi has to offer, including circulation, balance, muscular and joint strength and coordination, along with focus, awareness, relaxation and cognitive skills that last long after practice is over.

During his studies and practice, Frank has developed a great appreciation for all martial arts, as well as making various friends in the martial arts community. He is currently working with the Film Bar (a hip indie movie theater) in downtown Phoenix, AZ to feature a Kung Fu movie series, while sharing experts, teachers and practitioners with the public after the movie to spread the benefits of martial arts.
