-Real Tai Chi Chuan and Chi Kung-Book or Video

Master Michael C. Felkoff was born in 1938 in Chicago, Illinois. He was a Vietnam Veteran and started his martial arts training in Hawaii in the Sixties. He was a world-class instructor and pioneer of the oriental martial arts in the United States, having studied and taught the arts for over forty years. He was known for his no-nonsense approach to teaching self-defense and was truly an expert in the utilization of principle. In the Sixties and Seventies, Master Felkoff was active in tournaments both as a competitor, coach, and judge.

His emphasis had always been the Chinese systems of short and long fist, as well as the Internal Arts of Tai-Chi Chuan, Pa-kua, and Hsing-I Chuan. Master Felkoff taught hundreds of students during his career in the Midwest, California, and Nevada, with many who have become well-known competitors and instructors.

Master Felkoff studied a broad range of martial arts which include: Jujitsu, Shotokan Karate, Kenpo in Hawaii; and Ki Aikido under Koichi Tohei Sensei, Tai-Chi, Pa-kua; and Hsing-I Chuan under Professor Chi-Kuang Huo, Tai-Chi Chuan under General Li-Ming Zou and Tai-Chi Chuan; Pa-kua, and Hsing-I Chuan under Grand Master Lu Hung-Ping.

Master Felkoff was the founder of the Chinese Cultural Center in Chicago, Illinois as well as the founder of the Phoenix Holistic Healing Foundation, a tax deductible charitable foundation and school in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Master Felkoff was been featured in many newspapers, magazines and television appearances over the years. He also produced this excellent instructional video on Tai-Chi Chuan, specifically a short Chi Kung form entitled, The Seven Golden Movements, which is from the “Secret Family Style” of Yang Tai Chi. Master Felkoff resided in Las Vegas, Nevada for many years where he taught students on a selected basis only. Master Felkoff "went to the mountain" in 2014. It remains for us, his loyal and devoted students, to carry on his legacy and teaching.

Taken from the Phoenix Holistic Foundation DVD, the Seven Golden Movements Manual is designed to accompany the video presentation of this powerful form so that can be learned and practiced alongside Master Felkoff on your TV screen in the privacy of your own home.

These instructions open with the history and lineage of this rare Chi Kung Form and explains the principles and benefits in depth. Master Felkoff slowly walks the viewer through the form movement by movement. In much the same way, this booklet uses step-by-step photographs to illustrate and explain each movement.
