The Laughing River officially reopens classes for kids, starting this summer. Please spread the word.

I offer classes in Tai Chi, Tai Chi Ruler, Qigong Chronic Pain and Stress Management, ISB (Internal Shadow Boxing) ® Meditation, Kids Tai Chi, Jujitsu, R**e Prevention/Women's Self-Defense (ASP®), and Reverse Gravity 8 Training (RG8T® which is a new form of special agility training and self-defense practiced on a ball). Whether our client’s challenge is emotional strain, poor physical health, or an unavoidable violent confrontation, the LAUGHING RIVER ® will show you how to “Let It Flow”, and bring balance and harmony back into your community. We are a NYC Minority Business Enterprise. I have been teaching these wonderful arts for over 45 years.


I have attached flyers with descriptions of some of my programs. I am confident LAUGHING RIVER ® initiatives could be a great resource for empowering the NYC community. Adult and Kids Tai Chi and Qigong are particularly great methods for coping with stress. They can be practiced anywhere and at any time, standing, in a chair, or even while lying down.

Classes will fill up quickly so call to make your appointment for an introductory lesson today.

To All Who Love Freedom and Justice.


2:00 PM - 4:00 PM 2 hour workshop
Learn how to release from unwanted grabs.


This Kwanzaa celebration is for you. Join us on Wednesday, December 27th, 2023 (Kujichagulia - Self-Determination Day) at the Laughing River for an unforgettable evening celebrating liberation and freedom. Manumit, derived from the Latin word meaning “to release from the hand”, encapsulates the essence of breaking free from constraints and embracing our true selves.

Immerse yourself in an afternoon filled with an empowering workshop, thought-provoking discussions, and inspiring self-protection techniques. Discover ways to let go of societal expectations, release self-doubt and embrace your authentic voice. Connect with like-minded individuals who share a common desire for personal growth and liberation.

Throughout the event, you’ll have the opportunity to explore various mechanical advantages to escape unwanted grabs to your wrist. Engage in conversations that challenge conventional thinking and ignite your inner fire.

Manumit is more than just a self-defense workshop; it’s a transformative experience. Break free from the ordinary and embark on a journey of self-discovery. Embrace the power of leverage and find the freedom to be your truest, most authentic self unchained.

Don’t miss out on this incredible opportunity to join a community of individuals who are ready to release, let go, and be free. Mark your calendar and get ready to embark on this liberating adventure with us!

Spread the word. Only 10 people may participate. Call now to reserve your place. No walk-ins.
General Admission only $40
