If you have studied Taiji (Tai Chi), Xingyi or Bagua, I would like to ask you a serious question. Does one of these sentences describe your internal arts experience?  

• Your teacher focuses mainly on health and meditation and does not teach you what the movements mean for self-defense.
• Your teacher spends a lot of time on "chi cultivation," and the instruction is shrouded in Mystical Mumbo Jumbo.
• Your teacher is "old school" and holds back information, or gives you information in small bits.
• You are a teacher but you feel there may be gaps in your knowledge, and you want new ideas and to continue your internal arts education.
• You want personal, one-on-one instruction from the teacher.
• You want to study, but there are no teachers where you live.
• You want to be certified, but you want the certification to mean something and not be viewed by other martial artists as a cheap online certificate.
• Many members of this website answer "YES" to one or more of the above.

What members say about Internal Fighting Arts and Sifu Ken Gullette:

"Your site has exceeded my expectations - a very rare internet experience indeed."  - Robert Church

"I am living in Shanghai and studying Xingyiquan and Chen Taiji. In a world where most teachers jealously guard their 'secrets,' you've been a beacon for cutting through the BS and seeing through to the real thing underneath." - Jon Nicklin

"I live in Japan and study Baguazhang and Xingyiquan, but the language barrier makes me miss some of the meaning. Your training has filled in the gaps and has been responsible for most of the progress I have made so far." - Kiefen Synnott

"The site provides a very clear systematic curriculum for learning the internal arts. I can clearly see the progressive steps and skills one needs to master before going onto the next level." -- Kevin Sund

"My daughter is 12 years old and has trained in the martial arts since she was four years old under some of the most qualified and accomplished Masters in the world. Recently, we made the decision to integrate her into Wudang Tai Chi and Chen Tai Chi to augment her knowledge and depth of training to push her to the next level.

I asked her to examine the Internal Fighting Arts program to assess its viability. Her assessment concluded that the program not only provided a solid curriculum for high levels of achievement but also for long term study. In addition, she was very impressed with the depth, clarification of the martial applications, the internal structure and the often left out aspects of teaching these arts." -- Doshin Kris L. Warner, World Ki Shin Do Budo Kai Federation

"A couple months ago, I took up Ken's long-distance coaching offer, as I live hundreds of miles away. I've been getting great one-on-one attention during our video lessons that is complementing the website material. Ken is patient, kind, and really knows where to point out what needs to be improved. I'm going to be constantly back for more of these as I keep learning new material!" -- I.H. in Michigan
