Dr. Yang's generosity of spirit, combined with his dedication to the art of taiji/qigong and his skill as a teacher are incomparable. In addition, his training in Western scientific tradition helps to make his teaching easy to approach and understand. We are all very fortunate to have had the opportunity to study with him."

The taiji form camp is an extraordinary experience for all levels of practitioners. It has the finest, most generous group of teachers and dedicated participants who inspire each other. Master Yang is an extraordinary leader and has attracted fellow teachers and students who form a community anyone would benefit from experiencing."
--B. Garfinkel, 2015 48-form camp
-
Attending Dr. Yang's camp has been one of the most fulfilling activities I have participated in for years. The program is well structured to balance activities throughout the day that address wellness of mind and body. The morning qigong is invigorating but not excruciating. Instruction on form is well structured for easy learning yet has depth and is blanced by qigong meditations. I strongly encourage those seeking experiences in fullfilling activites that you can then use in every day life to attend Dr. Yang's camp."
-->D. Quance, 2015 48-form camp

This was my second time at EBQ/EBT camp and, again, it was an incredible experience. Master Yang is a phenomenal teacher who goes above and beyond to make sure his students have an understanding of the curriculum, the confidence to move forward, and an appreciation of the taiji/qigong art. In addition, it is always a pleasure to form relationships with the other participants who are always so genuine and willing to assist, collaborate on ideas and motivate one another. Truly an experience one should consider."
