Longwater Tai Chi - Our Teachers

Bruce Frantzis

Bruce Frantzis has more than 40 years of experience in Chi Gung, healing practices, meditation and martial arts, having achieved black belts in judo, karate, jujitsu and aikido by age 18. Fluent in Chinese and Japanese, he has drawn on 16 years of intensive study in Asia to develop a systematic approach to Taoist energy arts.

In 1981 Bruce was accepted as one of only two disciples of the late Taoist sage Liu Hung Chieh, who later passed his lineage to Frantzis, empowering him to teach ba gua, hsing-i, tai chi and Lao Tse's water method of Taoist meditation.

Bruce is now based in the United States, where he offers workshops and instructor trainings locally as well as in Europe. He has personally certified more than 400 instructors worldwide under the Frantzis Energy Arts® system, and has written several seminal works on internal chi practices and meditation.
