Testimonials

I have to admit I was a little skeptical about what results I would get from practicing Chi Kung but I took your class because my business associates really encouraged me to try. Now I want to tell everyone what remarkable results I’m getting. Two weeks ago during our weekly class you taught me the Chi Kung Pattern “Pushing Mountains” and mentioned the many benefits from practicing it. One of them is how it is great for overcoming back problems. I have had severe back pain for years. In the morning I haven’t even been able to bend over the sink to brush my teeth. After the first day of practice I felt improvement. In the two weeks since I’ve practiced this my back pain is gone! Wow!

The course was perfect! The benefits have gone beyond relieving my back pain. It has also contributed to balancing my emotional response to high stress situations. All this in such a short time! I’m definitely recommending this course to others!

I took your course for Stress Management, to reduce pain from my Fibromyalgia and for a TMJ disorder. I have already felt positive benefits. Since starting I’ve been able to significantly reduce my intake of anti-inflammatory drugs and I’m noticing an increase in energy throughout the day.
–Tracy, Long Beach, CA. Oct.2008
I’ve lost 10 pounds since starting this course only 6 weeks ago. I know it is because my energy is getting balanced. I enjoyed this course and feel the pacing was appropriate. I certainly am recommending it to others.
–Barry, Long Beach, CA Oct. 2008
For the last couple of years my doctors have recommended surgical removal of some of my insides in order to get rid of the severe, chronic menstrual pain that I’ve had. Within 2 weeks of learning from you my pain went away and it is still gone another month later. Wow! I can’t keep the smile off my face from this. I look forward to another course with you and I’m absolutely encouraging others to learn from you! The benefits are emotional as well as physical.

  • I took this course because I was curious and I’m always interested in learning new ways to deal with Stress.  I’m seeking greater inner peace and happiness.  This was all new to me.  I recommend this course. Mary R., Juneau, AK, Sept 2009
  • I was very fortunate that someone gave me a seat in the class.  If I would have known the cost I would not have accepted it.  It is very much worth the cost!  I hope that there are ways that others may find themselves as fortunate as I have been.  Doug, Sitka, AK Sept 2009
  • Since I started practicing Chi Kung I have more energy and my hands feel really good which is great since I do massage.  Even though I’ve already taken your Continuing Chi Kung course I’m glad I took this Introduction to Shaolin Chi Kung course again.  It really helped.  I realize I’ve been a bit sloppy in my practice.  It helped in many ways and I look forward to fine tuning and deepening the practice of the first patterns I learned from you.  I really enjoy the calm, peaceful, joyful feeling that I have now.  Teresa, Sitka, AK Sept 2009
  • It took this course to calm my thoughts down, learn how to relax and to learn a practice that integrates the body, emotions, spirit and mental health.  After this one day introduction I already feel better.  Sifu did an excellent presentation and I appreciated his patience and presence.  I will definitely recommend this course to others especially my family.

I really appreciate the convenience of this practice and the relaxing “go with the flow” feeling.  I like standing up rather than lying or sitting because it feels, all over my body and mind, “right”.  Kristi, Sitka, AK, Sept. 2009

  • It retook this Introduction to Shaolin Chi Kung course to perfect the patterns and increase my energy flow.  Before I learned from Sifu, only a couple of months, ago I had quite a problem with clenching my teeth when I slept but that is gone now for the most part.  I’m always recommending your course to whoever is open to it.  Barb, Sitka, AK Sept 2009
  • I took this course to expand my abilities to better enjoy life and my community.  After taking this course I know I will have more focus and energy.  I already have around 20 people in mind to recommend this course to.  Thank you Sifu for coming to Sitka and sharing/blessing us with this Art!  Dirk, Sitka, AK Sept. 2009

  • Since starting my practice after learning from Sifu only months ago the level of stress from my job has been reduced! It really helped me through a difficult situation. I took this second course to enhance my practice.  I know that this practice is a great part of my life path.  Yes, of course I’m recommending that others take this course from Sifu.  Laura, Sitka, AK Sept. 2009
  • Dear Sifu,  Wow, what an improvement for me in the 5 months since I first took your course.  For the past year I had been having problems with both of my shoulders particularly the rotator cuff of my right shoulder.  I hadn’t even been able to lift my arm to my shoulder.  I had even been getting physical therapy for 6 months but it was only making my problem worse.  Since then?  These problems are long gone!  I’m so happy.  Beyond overcoming these pain and physical problems I can say that Chi Kung has changed my life.  I’m continually amazed how beneficial the Chi Kung practice sessions are.  Cheryl, Sitka, AK Sept. 2009
  • I’ve taken about 5 of your courses before but I took another one for more Qi and practice and to improve my skills.  This course was wonderful practice and I really improved doing the forms and got finer points of skill, more relaxation, softer breathing and movements.  Lots of Qi! Thanks.  Joyce, Sitka, AK Sept. 2009
  • It took this Chi Kung II workshop for more knowledge, to further reduce stress and to continue to enhance my health and vitality.  Since I’ve started practicing I am calmer with more energy and much happiness!  I’m always telling friends, family and coworkers about Chi Kung.  Jean, Sitka, AK Sept. 2009
  • I took this Chi Kung II workshop to further my education in Shaolin Chi Kung.  Since first learning from Sifu about 18 months ago I have realized many noticeable and life changing benefits from practicing the first 3 patterns.  I’m no longer living in fear of migraine headaches which were putting me in bed for a couple of days at a time.  My prayer life has gone to a deeper and more spiritual level.  I have peace.  Julieanne.  Sitka, AK Sept. 2009
  • I took this course because I’m curious by nature especially with things concerning health, happiness, being and feeling calm and relaxed and because my mother recommended it.  I only just started but it felt relaxing which to me is a benefit.  Darren, Sitka, AK Sept. 2009
  • I took this second course to refine my practice.  I recommend this to others.  Cynthia, Sitka, AK Sept. 2009

–Bill. Snowmass Village, CO. August 2008
I have been having severe leg pain for the last 4 months. This morning I didn’t think I could even walk to get into your seminar today in Henderson, Nevada. Thank you very much for making my day and getting rid of my leg pain. It was gone within an hour of practicing Chi Kung. I’m sorry I kept repeating all day that I couldn’t believe my leg pain was gone but it simply seemed unbelievable. I am very grateful to get rid of it, more than you’ll ever know.
–S.R. Columbus, Ohio, July 2008
You made our day one we will always remember.  We felt so comfortable and enlightened by your presentation and self confidence.  The seminar exceeded our expectations. We hope we will see you again at another seminar or event.
–B.R. Columbus, Ohio, July 2008
Thank goodness for this course. I’ve already noticed the beginnings of positive changes. This class provided a great deal of information. Certainly I’ll be talking about this and recommending it to my family and friends/co-workers. What more can I say without restating- Sifu Anthony certainly deserves the title, “Sifu”
–Chris S. Sitka, Alaska, May 2008
If you come to Sitka again I hope to have my wife attend. I enjoyed your “positive energy” and methods of teaching. Thank you for the positive corrections to improve on the practice.
–Mike R, Sitka, Alaska, May 2008
I attended this seminar because I have a demanding job-extremely long hours/often up all night and I’ve been finding it hard to maintain vitality and health under this level of stress. I feel that Shaolin Wahnam Chi Kung will help me achieve my health goals. Thank you for coming so far to teach us. The light in your eyes says more than any testimonial.
–Sharon S. Sitka, Alaska, May 2008
I attended this seminar to be more healthy, happy, calm, and to enhance my spiritual life. (I have 6 children and suffer from migraines). I will recommend this seminar to others. Also, as a Christian I was very impressed with the 10 Shaolin Laws. I feel very at home with this and I know my spiritual life will be enhanced.
–Julianne S. Sitka Alaska, March 2008
I took this seminar to improve health, physical, mental wellness and to bring balance to life. Also, to increase energy and physical stamina.

–A.H., Sitka, Alaska, March 2008
I attended this seminar for 2 reasons. To increase energy and clear my system of toxins that manifest in sinus/nasal allergies.

Sifu, your energy is contagious. I enjoyed sharing the space with you. I feel energized and excited to experience continued Chi Flow. Looking forward to seeing you again in Sitka.
–Jenn L., Sitka, Alaska, March 2008
I had a serendipitous moment-a pleasant surprise- while standing in line at the Mellow Day Café, there was Zach who introduced me to this nice person giving a Chi Kung seminar over the weekend and I knew I had to come. And I’m glad I did! I’m excited to continue to practice. I’m grateful that Sifu Anthony was able to visit Sitka and share this gift. I know there are fellow Sitkans here who are interested in continuing the practice. Enjoy! Relax-smile from the heart. Just enjoy and let Chi flow.
–Kathleen M., Sitka, Alaska, March 2008
It was a terrific intro class and refreshes my practice.
–Zach L., Sitka, Alaska, March 2008
I’ve felt unhealthy since I had strep throat over a year ago and have a continual runny nose. I’m looking for anything to help me feel healthy again, like I was before the strep throat. I absolutely already feel the energy flowing and a release. I will absolutely recommend this to others. My family is already curious, interested and asking questions. I love feeling the energy flow. It makes me feel more alive already which is wonderful after struggling for over a year now with not feeling healthy. Thank you!
–Arika F., Sitka, Alaska, March 2008
I took this course because of concern for arthritis in my knees and somewhat in my hips. The knees are already much less painful even after standing for 15 minutes during the practice.

I have learned more in the past 2 days than I have in 10 years. I already have 9 people in mind to recommend.
–Alice S., Sitka, Alaska, March 2008
I took this course as a remedy for E.D. and also for general well being. I have high expectations that this will help me achieve my goals and I will recommend it to others. It has given me high hopes for improvement.

I had a problem with insomnia going back to 1999. I gave up on pills some years ago and wasn’t sure if I would ever solve this problem. As a Surgical RN this had made doing my job a challenge. Within weeks of learning Shaolin Wahnam Chi Kung from Sifu Spinicchia I was sleeping better and getting the best rest I’ve had in years. My sleep now is deep and refreshing. I’m so grateful.
–A.R., Long Beach, CA
I haven’t been able to bend down on knees without pain for a long time. After only a couple of months of practice in a Wahnam West class I now bend on my knees without pain without even thinking about it. Amazing!
–P.H., Long Beach, CA
For years I had serious problem with very difficult monthly periods. Since learning incredible Shaolin Wahnam Chi Kung from Sifu Spinicchia this has been reduced dramatically. Thank you!
–Ashland, OR
Within 2 weeks of practice I was able to pass a lot of Kidney Stones with minimal discomfort. My doctor told me it was incredible. Thank you Sifu!
–L.A. Mexicali, Baja California
I’ve practiced and taught different types of Qigong for many years but now I know that nothing compares to Shaolin Wahnam Qigong. The deep levels of relaxation and energy flow I’ve experienced during and after a Wahnam West seminar are like nothing I’ve experienced before. As a Medical Doctor I would recommend it to all my patients. Truly amazing!
–J.L., Ashland, OR
I took Sifu Spinicchia’s class at the recommendation of my Doctor. I’m glad I did. When people ask me why they should learn this incredible and convenient art I tell them, “Because it works”. It’s amazing what results you can get from a simple 15 daily session.
–P.M., Long Beach, CA
I took a Chi Kung course here in Las Vegas before but I can say that it doesn’t compare at all to Wahnam Chi Kung.
–N.A., Las Vegas, NV
I took a Wahnam West seminar only 6 weeks ago and people already tell me that I look 10 years younger. Also, I feel great.
–M.B., Sitka, AK
I never felt as much joy I did during our practice in class last week. So much joy coming from my heart.
–L.B. Mexicali
I've taken other Qigong classes but none of them compare to Shaolin Wahnam West. The highest level that only specially selected advanced students attain in other courses is where Shaolin Wahnam West starts off! Amazing and beautiful.
–E.P. Mexicali
I took your course for a new experience and because I need major, new energy during this job changing time of life. You are a very patient, calming and knowledgeable teacher. I’ve already been forwarding information on your courses to a lot of people.
–Louise, Long Beach, CA Oct. 2008
My mom convinced me to take this course to help reduce my stress/anxiety. I’m already recommending this course to others and I will continue to do so.
–Josh, Corona, CA. Oct. 2008

–Carol, Long Beach, CA. Oct 2008
It took this course at the recommendation of one of your previous students for my health and personal improvement. I will recommend this course to others.
