Become The Teacher The World Needs Today!

In today’s fast-paced world, many people are stressed out and on the verge of burnout. As health and wellness leaders at the forefront, our roles now demand more than ever before!

It’s no longer enough to focus solely on physical health.

We are being called to rise to the challenge and nurture the holistic well-being of our students – in mind, body & spirit.

By embracing the ancient Eastern wisdom of Tai Chi and Qigong, particularly the transformative practice of yielding, you can empower your clients to navigate today’s world with grace and resilience.

But Tai Chi is far more than seniors practicing slow movements in the park.

It integrates breathwork with coordinated movement and helps access meditative states while in motion.

Together, they offer a holistic path to nurturing well-being, and optimizing performance across – the physical, mental, and emotional!

ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR

Hi, I'm Jeff!

Sifu Jeff Patterson has dedicated the past 36 years to learning martial arts. He has learned from internationally recognized masters from seven different countries, earning the equivalent of black belts in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Eskrima, Tai Chi, Qigong, Muay Thai, and Kenpō.

Over the past 30+ years, Jeff has taught over 25,000 students at his academy, Northwest Fighting Arts in the Pacific Northwest.

As with most serious martial arts practitioners, Jeff sought out information to explain why high-level martial arts are transformative. Soon it became evident that all his instructors and masters incorporated meditative aspects into their training.

Jeff’s strongest passion is linking the benefits of meditative and martial arts together and applying both to broader aspects of life. His passion continues to be driven by witnessing these practices in action.

To this end, Jeff has published three books and produced two audio courses and hundreds of instructional videos.

Jeff is also a US Marine Corps veteran, serving for four years, and he has earned two Bachelor’s Degrees in Business from Portland State University.

Student Success Stories

“Mr. Patterson’s teaching has helped me achieve a higher level of consciousness in every sense of my well-being, whether it be professionally or personally. It’s a way for me to tap out of the daily grind that feeds stress and anxiety, and whether I take just a minute or an hour to meditate, afterward I feel more relaxed and aware of my surroundings, which gives me a sense of deeper connection and positivity. Through continual practice, I feel as though I am more centered and calm during what would be moments of stress and calamity for others.”

Student Success Stories

“I have been studying under Sifu Jeff for over two years now. Before I started meditating, I was a mess. My job, living situation, and relationships were all in shambles. I knew I needed a fresh start. I set goals to simplify, but I was still finding myself incredibly scattered mentally. I found the practice to be exactly what I needed. Especially when I was diagnosed with testicular cancer that had spread to the lymph nodes in my spine. Despite a rough bout of chemotherapy, and the stress from a new job, I was able to maintain my energy levels and mental control. In fact, the doctors were amazed at how I handled the chemotherapy and asked me to participate in a study to understand how I could keep up with a full-time job and the monstrous side effects of chemotherapy without landing in the E.R. I credit this all to the meditation insights I learned from Sifu Jeff. Believe me when I say that these practices saved my life. I will be using these practices for the rest of my life.”
