Tai Chi Arts

Paul Cavel began his studies in the internal chi arts (qigong, bagua and tai chi) with tai chi chuan in 1987. Two years later, he began focusing deeply on qigong and bagua zhang as taught by his teacher, Lineage Master Bruce Frantzis, after realising his teachings encompassed the whole of these systems, including the 16 neigong, components of internal power generation for health and vitality.

In 1994, Paul stepped up the intensity of his training by moving to California where he lived and studied with his teacher for more than a year. It was during this time that Paul received a solid grounding in bagua zhang. He infused his previously learnt neigong into the bagua palm changes, especially the Bagua Singe Palm Change, of the original Pre-birth Bagua Circle Walking School.

After leaving California, Paul began teaching tai chi and qigong energy healing exercises, bagua walking meditation and Longevity Breathing Therapy with the encouragement of his teacher. Paul continues to train with the intent of moving into the deeper aspects of energy arts, including meditation. For nearly two decades, Bruce has personally trained Paul in the core material from which the internal arts are powered.

Paul is particularly adept at helping people who suffer from cardiovascular diseases and other stress-related illnesses—in body and mind.
