Northwest Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong Studio

Today, I attended classes at the Northwest Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong Studio in downtown Vancouver, Washington.  It has also been called the "Vancouver Tai Chi Chuan and Qigong Studio" in the recent past.  It was founded by Sifu Brian Knack.

The classes are as follows:

Tuesday Mornings:
Qigong       9 am
Taijiquan  10 am

Tuesday Evenings:
Taijiquan      5:30 pm Advanced
Taijiquan      6:30 pm  Beginning
Push Hands  7:30 pm

Saturday Mornings:
Qigong and Taijiquan  10 am - 11:30 am

The main senior teachers now are Bill and Sandy.  They are both very knowledgeable instructors.  Sifu Brain Knack now lives in rural Goldendale, Washington, (121 miles east of Portland) and comes to the Vancouver Studio occasionally.

Classes are held at the Vancouver Health and Wellness Building at 202 E. Mcloughlin Blvd., Vancouver, 360-607-8240. Also, some information on Facebook, but no website information in 2/2019.

All classes cost $40.00 per month per student.  A very reasonable price for so many classes.

Today, Bill led us in performing the Five Animal Frolics during the Qigong class.

I did not stay for Taijiquan - I was a bit tired and overcoming a chest cold.

    What can you tell me about Sifu Knack? He is offering classes in my area, but I cannot find any information on him anywhere. Do you now why he moved to Goldendale? How knowledgeable is he regarding martial arts?

  2. I can't tell you much. I've met him very briefly only 3 times in the last two years. Best to talk to Bill and Sandy at this studio in Vancouver.
