I intend to keep taking Michael’s online classes for as long as they are offered. I’ve learned a lot through these online classes, and I think anyone new to Tai Chi would benefit from them.” — Maureen “Michael Ward has seamlessly tran- sitioned his Tai Chi instruction to online classes. His teaching style is superior. Mi- chael is friendly, patient, and his love of Tai Chi is contagious. Online Tai Chi works because he engages with his students on ev- ery detail of the movements, postures, and responds to all questions as if in-person. What I enjoy the most about learning Tai Chi online is that I get front row at every class from the comfort of home.” — Victoria
