"Don Ahn fixed my back. I'd been on the road doing three shows a day, in Europe and the United States, and I was hurting. Low back pain, like a toothache, just keeps throbbing. Don worked on my back, then on my posture. He showed me how to stand and how to keep my back healthy. That was two years ago. I have been free of back pain ever since. Don Ahn worked his magic on me."

"Life Force is a form of practical magic that really works. It can not only make you a superman or woman, it can make you feel like one. Master Ahn's book is a door into a world that is better than stoned, his Tai Chi way is somewhere between exercise and ecstasy. Its practice has added a dozen years to my career and my happiness. So simple, so effective."

- Iggy Pop, Musician

"Even though I have mostly studied Yoga in my life, I found Life Force to be a thoroughly comprehensive study of all the elements on needs in order to focus and center the mind. Whether you do Tai Chi, Yoga, or some form of Meditation, Life Force is a must have for anyone who wants to enhance their awareness and perform on a whole new level."

Korean born Tai Chi Master Don Ahn has been teaching at the Ahn Tai Chi Studio, Inc. in New York since 1970, as well as in other cities in the U.S. and abroad. Master Ahn studied with the late Professor Cheng, Man Ching (6 years from 1964), followed by study with Yang, Sui Chong (the eldest son of Yang, Cheng Fu) in 1970 Hong Kong. He teaches several Taoist disciplines: he has trained in Korean Tae Kwondo (1949-1953), Korean Zen (1955-1959), and has practiced other Taoist disciplines for over 30 years.

Master Ahn learned acupressure techniques in his childhood from his grandfather, and has also studied Korean and Japanese Shiatsu intermittently since 1953, as well as various Western forms of body work since 1960. Chi Bodywork is the result of this harmoninzing of both the Eastern and Western methods. He has been practicing his unique technique of Chi Bodywork for over 30 years, and has helped numerous people to regain their health.

Master Ahn is one of the rare Tai Chi teachers who mastered rooting power and opened his Tan Tien. 12 people can't uproot and push him.
