Who designed this exercise?
This exercise was concisely designed by David Chen, Ph.D. in Exercise Science.
Dr. Chen received his bachelor and master degrees in physical education from Beijing
Institute of Physical Education, and his doctorate degree from the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro. Dr. Chen has been studying and working on teaching and teacher
education in Eastern and Western exercise and fitness fields for over 20 years. Thousands
of students have benefited from his instructions. Dr. Chen fully understands the difficulties and frustrations that
Western students have had in learning Eastern exercise styles like Tai Chi and Qigong systerms.
To help more Western people who are interested in Chinese style exercises fully enjoy the beauty
