People do not ask about lineage often. I trained with and taught Yang style for Master Yung Yang Wang for 14 years. I also trained with his best friend Grand Master Victor Cheng. Grand Master Cheng started the first Chinese style school in Houston to teach openly to anyone back in the 70s. He was from a Chinese village just north of Inchon Korea. He trained with a school that was started by a man called 1,000 kick Lee. I trained under Master Jeff Bolt for 3 years. This was just prior to his retirement from teaching. He is the first student of Dr. Jwing -Ming Yang. I have trained with Dr Yang on several occasions. Dr Yang trained in China in a Yang style tai chi from the Yang Cheng Fu line. The Yang family organization has verified 20 different versions of their traditional style. I have learned two. I have also trained Chen style and worked with Grand Master Jimmy Wong on the first Wu Hao form.

My first martial arts experience. Sifu Neighbors is friendly, extremely knowledgeable, personable, and patient. All excellent qualities in an instructor.
TaiChi is an excellent low impact exercise to improve balance and flexibility as well as strength. Often described as moving meditation TaiChi moves all your joints and may help with mobility as well. Very good class.
Excellent quality of Tai Chi training.
Sifu David Neighbor promotes respect, teamwork, personal help and attention to details.
Classes reflect outstanding planning and execution.
I did tai chi with David for approximately 10 years and highly recommend it. It’s outstanding for a great blend between exercise, meditation and qigong.
David makes the sessions fun for all, whatever your level. Especially fun is to be had on Tai Chi Day. I just wish David would also hav a dedicated program on QiGong for seniors with mobility and balance challenges.
Sifu David is a great instructor with decades of experience and tremendous patience. I've been a student for 10 years, save a few breaks, and have learned the long form, short form, 8 step, fan and ba fa. I originally began tai chi to help with lower back pain and it did relieve the pain after a while. I would highly recommend this low impact program to anyone who wants to elevate their wellbeing while reducing stress.
Sifu David Neighbors is an excellent teacher of martial arts - constantly inspiring us to improve our form and ad new elements to our practice. I take Tai Chi from him on Saturdays now and look forward to it each week. He also teaches on Monday nights.
