What Some students say |
Azura bte Zainal,
TV Host/ Presenter |
"I've managed to learn how to focus on one thing rather than 2 to 3 things at one time. Tai chi gives me the serenity and calmness in dealing with more personal matters and has helped me learn to focus on ME and the inner ME! I've come to realize that by harnessing what's inside of you can make you feel better on the outside."

Master Yeap is also a very effective coach and has his own way of sharing his skills, concepts and techniques with his students. I enjoyed the training with him very much.
Advanced Classes (Push Hands)
The training took me to new levels of understanding about reading forces. I'm really appreciating using the opponent's forces to my advantage.
I feel more stable/balanced with the moves and gain some basic skill on the push hand, and got better feeling in sensing and deflecting away the coming forces.
I have learned new techniques and skills in practicing and improving the basic movements with concentration on certain parts of my body, e.g., rooting, breathing and applying energy.

I'am a designer, mum and housewife. I have been travelling around the world with my husbands work and I love experiencing new cultures and seeing that we are all one in this world and that we are connected in some way or another.
I'am interested in art and culture and also learning new things to do with growing your mind, body and soul.
Since I have been learning tai chi it has taught me how to be aware in the present. If your mind wanders during tai chi your movements will be disturbed. It is an exercise for the mind to not wander but also for the body to synchronise. It really is a beautiful ancient art.

"Tai Chi gives me incredible joy. To be aware of the body as part of the bigger world of Nature brings with it a sense of inner peace I have not found in other arts. Sifu Yeap’s sincere teaching and his loyalty to the pristine purity of Cheng Man Ching’s style is a big part of that realisation. His unaffected generosity in giving and receiving from the student that same dedication is gratifying and humbling. I have come to Tai Chi late in my life but I know it will stay with me to end of my days. Your very simplicity in personality and method is a testimony to Tai Chi and Taoism. Thank you, Sifu Yeap. You are a great teacher."

I became interested in Tai Chi Chuan as an exercise to enhance feeling of presence and self awareness, as well as a long-term health enhancer.
In this short exposure, I learned the basic philosophy and movements of Tai Chi. Looking back at my first session, I'm gladly surprised at the level that Sifu Yeap has guided me to achieve by the end of the program. I know that I still have much more to learn, but I feel that I have a good grasp of the art that would help me with practice and patience to reach ever deeper levels.
Besides specific Tai Chi lessons, I also learned to improve my posture, balance, and overall self awareness.
Tai Chi is a magnificent and rich art that has immense potential for elevating one's mental and physical health. With the expert and patient guidance of Sifu Yeap, achieving this potential is clearly within reach. |

Tai chi and Qigong..they are subtle forms of internal physical exercises. Deep complete breathing right from the abdominal to the nose/mouth, I feel it working in my internals.
Walk away from the negativity, get into the zone, do the breathing to get the calmness and become relax .... It’s then like .... I am back in control again, bring it on!!, or I am able to calmly release the stress. Before Tai Chi, I would be all over the place and trapped in the bad vibes and know not how to get out of it .... I have come a long way and thankful for the opportunity to have my eyes opened to a better alternative.
‘Baggage’ has all to do with what is clouding the mind. Just that hour of no ‘baggage’ meant ... my mental state ‘had a rest’!! Mind you ....not an easy state to be for one hour, but not impossible to get better and better at it, I have discovered.

I've learnt how to deal with attacking force, and how to keep your balance which is very important core, and how to deflect attacks with minimum force.

' Tai Chi It is a wonderful tool for grounding the body and the mind, thus allowing clear thought on one subject. It has enabled me to deal with a difficult period in my life as I change career direction rather late in live . The daily routine of excercise has given me a more relaxed attitude and allowed me to focus on the tasks in hand. It has de-energised the anxiety and quietened the monkey brain that was so active previously, whilst at the same time helping to give me a more spiritual outlook on life." |

"In the 9 months you having been teaching me Tai Chi, I have
learned many things and am very grateful and appreciative for this
opportunity. It has helped me with my health issues but also has
helped my spirit and allowed me to better understand myself, my
motivations and my awareness.
Your teaching process is a patient, thoughtful and enlightening
experience and I look forward to continuing to improving the
movements while learning more of the meaning.
I have also found the warm up we do to also help me physically,
especially the repetitive motions.
Once again, many thanks" |
