Your Qiong Instructor

Laddie Sacharko has been learning and practicing Tai Chi and Qigong since 1988. In 1998, he began teaching these magnificent ideas to others. As a Practitioner member of the National Qigong Association, and certified Master Tai Chi Teacher by the American Tai Chi & Qigong Association, Laddie has presented across the nation, and across the street, to the general public, and to state and national professional organizations.

In 2001, he received direct transmission by Master Duan Zhi Liang of a method for “healing” others, called “Wei Qi Gong”. Laddie has prepared a new video presenting that information so that it will not be lost since Dr. Duan has died.

He has been learning from and teaching physical therapy and other rehabilitation professionals since 2008. As an independent researcher, Laddie assisted with a pilot program, and then a broader study of the effect of tai chi on balance and fear of falling. The Results “Balance and Functional Outcomes for Older Community-Dwelling Adults Who Practice Tai Chi and Those Who Do Not: A Comparative Study” were published in Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy. 2019 Oct/Dec; 42(4):209-215. doi: 10.1519/JPT.0000000000000153.
