Build a practice that deepens with every passing year.
The Yielding Warrior is grounded in the meditative arts — Tai Chi, Qigong, sitting meditation, and breathwork. We help you develop the awareness, sensitivity, and inner steadiness that carry into every part of your life.
Are you…
Sitting back after the work day, binging a show on Netflix until it’s time for bed, dreading your next work day?
Trying to balance life between your career, family, and yourself?
Wanting to compete at the highest level of your sport, be it basketball, football, martial arts, or any other activity?
Replaying events from your past, or constantly worrying about the future?
If any of this feels familiar, there’s a practice that addresses all of it — not by pushing harder, but by learning to move differently.
Using Eastern philosophies that incorporate meditation, mindfulness, and fluid movement can ground you in the present. By focusing on the mental, physical, and spiritual aspects of life and living in the present, you build something more valuable than motivation: a practice that holds.
Yielding is the art of moving with life rather than against it — drawing on Tai Chi, Qigong, and Eastern philosophy to build presence, awareness, and lasting resilience. When you yield, you don’t give up. You get better at knowing when to move, when to hold still, and how to stay grounded when everything around you shifts.
Hi, I’m Jeff. I have been practicing martial arts for the past 37 years and I’ve learned from highly skilled masters from seven countries. I’ve achieved black belt equivalency in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eskrima, Muay Thai, Kenpō, Tai Chi, and Qigong.
I firmly believe in the meditative arts and their power to enhance overall life experiences. This has led me to study the historical, philosophical, and health aspects of meditative arts. It resulted in an important realization regarding the concept of yielding. Now my mission is to share my knowledge with you after witnessing the positive and profound impact I’ve seen in thousands of my students.
Having authored three books, created two audio courses, and produced hundreds of videos on Tai Chi and Qigong, I believe I can help you achieve your goals.
The Yielding Warrior Way is different from other mindfulness and movement practices.
Rather than pushing harder, we teach you to become more aware — of your body, your energy, and how you respond to the world around you. Through consistent practice, that awareness becomes your greatest strength.
Once you begin practicing with us, you’ll experience the world entirely differently.
Change takes time, but we’ve created a structured path so you can feel a real difference within your first few sessions. All you need is an open mind and a willingness to show up.
“Before I started meditating, I was a mess — my job, my relationships, everything felt scattered. Then I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Despite a rough bout of chemotherapy, I maintained my energy and mental control. The doctors were amazed and asked me to participate in a study. I credit the meditation insights I learned from Sifu Jeff with saving my life. I will be using these practices for the rest of it.”

“Because it can be difficult to meditate on your own, I strongly recommend using Sifu Jeff Patterson’s guided meditation series. I’ve been practicing meditation with Sifu Patterson for almost two and a half years, and I’ve seen a lot of positive results in my life. This success encourages me to continue and deepen my personal meditation practice.”
