Taoist Studies Institute

"TSI is a rare gem in the rough of academies for the study of the traditional Chinese disciplines of Taiji, Qigong, and Bagua. The school also offers excellent instruction in other aspects of Chinese medicine and culture. I have been a serious student of the director, Harrison Moretz, for over 15 years and can say with certainty that he represents the highest in skill, integrity, and understanding of the ancient tradition he transmits. If you are truly interested in an art that will transform your life, and are willing to practice, then look no further."

"I first visited Taoist Studies Institute in 2004 and have been a full time student there since 2007. Harrison, Shoko, and Pau are wonderful teachers and have enriched my life in ways that are incredibly rich and meaningful to me. I have studied the Internal martial arts since 2000 and have met many taichi teachers and practitioners since then, all over the US. Harrison Moretz is in a class of his own in terms of his depth of knowledge, skill, prescence and ability to teach this profound and at times, mysterious art. The Taichi community in Seattle, and the west coast is truly blessed to have Harrison and the Taoist Studies Institute providing a gateway to the study of the Tao."

"This is where I learn how to practice. Practicing is how I learn how to live. We all practice 24 hours a day but rarely pay attention to what we're practicing. If you are looking for a place to learn a rich practice from a teacher (Harrison Moretz) who is uniquely skilled, this is the place to go."

"The school is in the Greenlake area just off of Greenwood Ave and is in an old church. It is one of best environments I have ever practiced Tai Chi with its scholar stone collection and authentic Chinese scroll collection. The instructors are very talented and accomplished . It is more than just a school it is also a cultural center with dance and theater from time to time. Once you get to know people there you come to realize it is also a community of very creative people. They also have a 30 acre location near the mountains so you can get away from the city and enjoy the solitude while surrounded by nature. I highly recommend this school for anyone wanting a place to learn about Tai Chi and Taoist cultural history."

"I've been studying with Harrison Moretz at TSI for over 10 years and couldn't recommend him and the program more highly. Harrison is an incredible teacher and a highly accomplished martial artist, practitioner and scholar. You really should come in a meet him! :)"
