Training in 2001, Los Angeles, CA

In 1996, I studied and eventually led classes at the celebrated Boston Kung Fu Tai Chi Institute, a special place that has produced countless Martial Arts champions. 
During my  years there I earned an expert teacher certification.  

During my tenure there I ernestly put in 40+ hours a week learning and practicing
with many teammates both internal and external martial art styles.  I had the privilege
of being trained by several teachers but most notably Sifus and founding partners of BKFTCI, Joshua Grant and Yao Li. My passion for Tai Chi and Kung Fu was ignited by Chinese Martial Arts (Wushu) and continues to serve as a well of great depths of  inspiration for me to this day.

MY JOURNEY:
Ángel Quesada, a seasoned Tai Chi instructor, brings close to three decades
of expertise as a movement specialist. Incorporating the Feldenkrais Method® principles, he offers a holistic teaching style, enriching students' understanding
of body mechanics and somatic awareness.
My mission is to empower individuals to gain mastery of their body to reduce injury risk, accelerate recovery, and achieve optimal well-being through an engaging and enriching Tai Chi practice.

I have been blessed to share my Tai Chi knowledge with thousands across the nation and, for the last two decades in Texas, use what I've learned to build a more informed public and teach people how to reduce pain, build strength, coordination and flexibility naturally.
