Hello, my name is Victor.  Being born and raised in Brooklyn NYC, I've always felt there was more to life than the daily grind of living in New York City. I was athletic as a young man playing many different sports and staying active.  I started my Martial Arts journey in 2014 as a means to help my mental and physical state due to my stressful Culinary profession.  It started with the basic kicking and punching, which help me regain awareness with my physical body more than playing regular sports allowed. However my training hit a point when I realized that I had several limitations in my body that was holding me back from advancing.
That's when yoga began for me in 2017, at The Yoga Room in LIC and Astoria Queens. The yoga practiced helped my stressed and depressive mental state more than I could of ever imagined. The following year my Kung Fu Master Joseph Cheung started teaching me Tai Chi, and I instantly felt a deep connection to this Art. Since then I have a dedicated daily practice; I've been taking a comprehensive dive into learning and practicing Tai Chi and Qi Gong.
And then the pandemic happened, the hotel I worked for closed, and I was laid off for the first time. It was an opportunity in disguise to finally move from the city because my soul yearned for wanting to be closer to nature.  The Poconos was a obvious choice as I already ventured here yearly before, for camping and snowboarding trips. This move has definitely help strengthen my connection with the spiritual side of my practice bringing Mind, Body, and Spirit in full circle.
In 2022 I was sworn in as a Disciple, of the Dragon Phoenix Martial Arts System, at Cheung MA Academy, to pass on the knowledge of the arts. My passion now is to keep the art a live via shinning more light into the healing energizes of Tai Chi and Qi Gong by teaching, sharing, and discovering how amazing the human condition is.
