Few schools teach Taijiquan, the traditional martial art of Taiji. At Qi Elements, we do. Master Roger Blough has learned Taijiquan's martial applications from Grand Master Yang, Jwing Ming, having followed the Grand Master as a seminar and vistiting student since 1994. He has passed this knowledge on to his assistants at Qi Elements.

Traditional Taiji Saber and Sword, and a practical self-defense weapon, Taiji Fighting Cane, created by Master Roger based on Grand Master Yang's Taiji Saber applications.
