Testimonials

Thank you everyone for allowing me to share your wonderful feedback.

“I told my students it's like going to your favorite store every day for years (Tai Chi) and suddenly you find a whole new room with even more delightful things to discover.”

Tai Chi Instructor, taichisusan.com

Susan Thompson

“It is a great boon to humanity when that rare Teacher arrives who is able to communicate complex topics and distinctions in a clear, simple and organized way that leads to RESULTS. This is so evident in several ways:

First, in the comments section of your videos, especially from advanced students who have been on the path for a long time and yet finally understand how to incorporate and utilize internal power, which had previously just been a concept or abstraction for them.

Second, by the level of detail in your training videos, where you are integrating and synthesizing so many different principles, many of which I had never come across despite being in the Qigong and energy healing arena for a long time now. They have been well-kept secrets indeed....until now !

Lastly, by your personal example you embody the principles of psycho-spiritual integration that develops as a result of deep internal practices, things which include kindness, generosity, and a keen intellect.

Thank you Shifu Lin.”

“I was looking for this kind of explanation! You answered my questions in a manner I could easily understand and followed up with effective demonstrations.”

“As someone training BJJ for almost 10 years I know from experience that what is explained in these lessons exists and is the true way of attaining greater mastery over your own body and mind as well as over your opponent's energy being projected on to you. It truly is fascinating what our bodies are capable of. I'm now practicing daily the 8 Silk Brocade Qigong as well as the Fascia course, and managing to apply in real life sparring for now little but fascinating elements of your teachings Master. When it works it truly feels like magic, like a black belt level details on grappling that BJJ instructors don't talk about.”

“As a long time martial arts practitioner and physiotherapist as well I recently completed Sifu Lin's Fascia Manipulation course online and I found it to be invaluable knowledge. The whole world is still only dwelling on muscles and leverage but the fascia manipulation layer is an absolute game changer. I highly recommend his course.”

“I signed up for the [Fascia Mastery] course. At first I was a little skeptical. I just finished lesson 4 and for me I think it's worth every penny. To be honest, I learned from a Sifu for 10 years and have never had this kind of knowledge. Thanks Sifu Lin.”
