What some of Ray's students had to say...
|
I studied with Ray for about two years and had to leave town suddenly. The lessons of Tai Chi have stayed with me and kept me centered, strong and competitive. My studies have helped me at work, at home and with health. I was fortunate indeed to meet up with Ray when I did. I owe a great deal of my success in life to my Sifu for life, Ray Abeyta and the healing art of Tai Chi Chuan.

Tai Chi...keeps my body flexible and has improved my balance. Ray Abeyta is very experienced, enthusiastic and personable. I am 80 years old, and I recommend Tai Chi for people of all ages.

I used some of the deep breathing strategies and some of the slow arm movements with my (pre-k) students ... the techniques helped them calm themselves a bit and got them focused on the next task.

I have noticed a definite improvement in my golf game ... moreover, the exercises that Ray has taught can be used as five-minute 'stress breaks' by employees during the day to relieve tension and enhance productivity.

The pain I was experiencing was a burning sensation running down my left leg from hip to ankle. MRI revealed calcium spurs on the spinal cord - the answer, surgery. No way! After consultation with you, you worked out a series of images and spinal exercises for me. ... Relief was almost immediate.
