What Our Students Say

  • "Studying Baguazhang with George Leung has helped me reimagine how I use my body and how it connects with the space around me - not only when circle walking in the studio, but when I’m performing and conducting, hiking and swimming, sitting at a desk or standing in a line. A transformative practice shared by a wonderful teacher - for those looking for a different sense of center and balance and flow, I cannot recommend it highly enough."

    Taylor Ho Bynum, musician and educator

  • "George is a patient, kind and thorough teacher, a skilled practitioner with a deep working knowledge of the form and the rare ability to teach others how to actually embody and integrate its principles. He is sensitive to the varying skill levels of his students and plans his classes accordingly. He offers a lot of directed attention to each student, greatly accelerating the learning process. In my personal experience of working with George these last 10-months I've gained a profound new awareness of effort and release that's radically changed my approach to all my movement practices. It's given me a level of ease and increased flexibility in my movement that as a professional dancer with over 30 years of training in modern dance, ballet, yoga, Pilates, and other modalities, I've often found elusive."

    Rachel Bernsen, dance artist & educator

  • "I'm a Tai Chi teacher whose understanding of Tai Chi movement has been completely transformed by George Leung. George is an exceedingly gifted martial artist who is deeply grounded in both the history and the theory of the arts he practices. He's everything you'd want a teacher to be—knowledgeable, articulate, approachable, patient and very funny. He is particularly good at breaking down some of the more counterintuitive concepts which lie at the heart of the internal arts and—through a mixture of movement and metaphor— getting his students both to grasp them with their minds and to understand them in their bodies."
