Welcome! Bienvenue! Glad you stopped by my YouTube channel. My name is Michael Joyce and I am a martial art coach in the great city of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. This site will mainly consist of my videos on taijiquan, self defense and other martial sciences.

The Golden Thread: The Essential Principles of Self Defense is my first book on self defense (Oct. 20008) and can be purchased by going to ChenCenter.Com and clicking on the "store" button.

I am currently at work teaching, writing and working on various dvd and instructional products. Please visit my website at http://www.chencenter.com for more of everything!

Peace & Love. Always.

Thanks for your friendship Michael ! You are a great example of someone who maintains BalanceInLife ! I have a quote for you that you might enjoy ! Davidine Sim and David Gaffney said : *** The Chinese place yin (negative) before yang (positive), because the negative is the Mother of the positive. Therefore, there must be stillness before activity, softness before firmness. In Taijiquan, yin and yang relate to movements such as opening and closing, and qualities such as firm and yielding, fast and slow, hard and soft, expanding and contracting, solid and empty, up and down, etc. In the legs, yin-yang is distinguished by weight distribution that has one leg full; in support of the body while the other leg is empty and capable of instant direction change. The same principle applies to the upper and lower body. One must balance yin and yang: movements should not be too soft or too hard ! *** With JOYful regards, ROBBIXS

Great channel, love your attitude to your art.
You and I both know Tai Chi is ultimately a fine tuning of the inner self by the self.
Apologies if you've already seen this, but I hoping to meet with this man in the near future as he is based in my country.

Hey!
I like your channel and i like your opinion on the art. I wish i could be also that relaxed and not using Taiji as an fighting System. the spiritual part is what is the most important thing....
