Patty Swartz has been studying T'ai Chi Chuan with Stan since 1988 and participating in workshops with Benjamin Pang Jeng Lo.

Patty teaches the Eight Methods* of T'ai Chi for beginning students, T’ai Chi Form Classes, private classes for students with physical limitations.

* The Eight Methods are eight simple movements derived from the more complex T'ai Chi form.  Originally designed for seniors and those with physical limitations, they provide a valuable introduction to the T'ai Chi principles. Even advanced students can benefit from these simple but challenging movements.
