About Master Domingo Colon

Master Domingo Colon began his study of Tai Chi in 1965. He studied under three leading authorities of the art, Masters Wm. C.C. Chen, C. K. Chu and B. P. Chan.

By 1975, he had developed the necessary skills to be appointed Chief Instructor by Master C. K. Chu.

In 1978 he founded the Tai Chi School of Westchester, where he currently conducts exercise classes in the Short and Long Forms of Tai Chi, Chi Kung, Taoist Healing Techniques, Breathing Exercises, Meditation, Stress Reduction, Philosophy, Chi Development and Energy Channeling for Health, Taoist Sex Techniques and Self Defense, Sparring and Weapons Techniques.

Since 1971, Master Colon has taught numerous special courses for many Tri-State companies, civic groups, colleges, continuing education programs, hospitals and other health facilities. He has appeared many times on cable television and radio shows and is a contributor to specialized publications dealing with the martial arts and Chinese healing methods. He has also designed specialized programs for seniors and individuals with special needs.

Master Colon is the author of "Seniors Tai Chi Workout", a comprehensive yet simple to follow program designed to allow seniors to easily practice Tai chi on their own at home.

Master Colon also studied physical therapy, working primarily in sports medicine, and in 1992 was certified as an Adaptive Fitness Instructor trained to teach aerobic, strength and flexibility exercises to the physically challenged.

This unique and extensive background in Tai Chi and physical therapy allows Master Colon to teach a highly effective and safe synthesis of Eastern and Western healing methods.
