Testimonials
"Arthur's workshop was eye-opening, entertaining and very practical. In particular, he gave me a new understanding of the study of Tai Chi sword. Although the study of ancient Chinese weapons seems to make little sense in today's world, Arthur showed us that sword study can be useful because the sword magnifies errors in our Tai Chi technique. This made perfect sense, and some experimenting with my own sword has definitely improved my technique. I look forward to Arthur's next workshop."

"I always thought that I was too much of a beginner to realize the health benefits of tai chi. Then one day I recalled how my knees had hurt so much when I climbed the walls of the old city of Dubrovnik on my visit there three years ago, and now I have no problem with my knees. I attribute it to the gentle bending and stretching characteristic of tai chi practice."

"After treatment for a malignant brain tumor I never thought I'd regain the mobility, physical strength or coordination I had before the cancer. I've been studying Tai Chi for a little over one year and it has had a dramatic affect on me physiologically. I have regained my balance and flexibility and my physical stamina continues to improve as I practice. For me, Tai Chi has been a life changing experience."
- Jodi Elam
"Over the 5+ years that I have been training in Tai Chi with Arthur, others have commented that they have seen great changes in me personally. I have learned relaxing techniques, gained physical balance, better breathing and in general using Tai Chi in my daily life."
- Larry Rayman
"Tai chi taught me how to move differently through the world--to slow down and enjoy being."
- Rodney Cohen, MD
"Women with swords...how cool is that?"

"I started Tai Chi when my life was upside down. Profound changes started almost immediately. I live in the moment, I don't use force against force, I let things flow, and I've gotten strong and balanced and flexible. It's harder than it looks, but lots of fun."

"Physically and emotionally safe, Arthur Rosenfeld's classes generate inner peace, confidence and are taught with skill, wisdom and humor. I am grateful to have found tai chi, this teacher, and this group."
- Mordy
I am grateful to Sifu Rosenfeld and all the members of Pen and Sword for the training. The setting in the park is a great background for the patience, encouragement and unflagging training that is provided to the beginner and I suspect the more advanced student.

After having back surgry (Laminectomy L5, S-1) along with three bad Cervicle Disks, this class has helped me stay fluid rather than a sedentary life that I was becoming use to after retiring, working almost 28 years of new installation and repair of water and sewerage systems. Due to me having new central air replaced, I will miss tomorrow's class, for which I regret, I shall return next sat
- D.J. Aubry
I have tried tai chi in the past and thank you for making it understandable. I find a peace and wisdom in your materials. There is a need and hunger for this information, lifestyle, and philosophy.
