He is also currently working towards a master’s degree in physical therapy at the University of Texas at El Paso. As a former state and national push hands champion, as well as having taught in settings such as physical rehabilitation, with senior citizens and the general population for the past 8 years, Louie has found the practice of Tai Chi and Chi Gung to be immensely beneficial in helping to create a more balanced and vigorous state of health, well being, and athletic capacity.
