SIMPLE MIND,

About Me
15+ years ago, my journey began with Kung Fu and meditation. Eight years as a dedicated Kung Fu student laid my foundation for teaching—discipline, awareness, and the understanding that body and mind are one.
For over 7 years, I've guided people through my own direct experience style of meditation teaching them to break free from patterns that control them and to navigate the chaos rather than be consumed by it. Meditation, at its core, is a martial art of the mind. It's about liberating yourself from the thoughts that no longer serve you, while cultivating a fierce compassion for yourself and others.
More recently, I've deepened my path as a student of Next Level TaiJiQuan with instructors Greg DeMichele, Jessie Dryden, and Travis DePuy. And was lucky enough to train in this ancient Chen style lineage under Master Chen Ziqiang, 20th generation of the Chen family.
What I've discovered is this: the principles that dissolve an opponent's force in TaiJi are the same ones that dissolve anxiety, stress, and limiting beliefs. Stillness isn't passive. When you use stillness to understand chaos, you stop reacting to life and start navigating it.

I am an author and self-publisher of "Love Story". It's a journey in life through our reflections, healing, connections, dreams, passion and purpose.

"The four weeks of meditation classes at integration meditation where a huge game changer for me personally”. The self-introspective I have gained through the meditation curriculum have given me a totally new outlook on life I would highly recommend this program for anyone."
— John
"Once again, thank you so much! I just graduated from the 4-week meditation workshop, and it consisted of self-awareness, self-healing and just learning to condition the mind. This class is perfect for beginners! It was a life changing experience and highly recommend this place."
— Kelly
"My daughters and I have worked with Choying every week for three months. He's helped take our meditation and breathing practice to deeper levels. The intention and energetic space has allowed room for play but also discipline in understanding Kung Fu and how energy flows through us not just for defense but empowering and confidence. 10/10 highly recommend."

Lao Jia Yi Lu (Old Frame First Road) is the foundational and historically oldest form in Chen-style Taijiquan, serving as the parent form from which other major Tai Chi styles evolved. Comprising roughly 75 posture sequences, it is characterized by large, extended movements that blend fast and slow tempos with the signature "silk reeling" energy unique to Chen style. The form emphasizes softness over firmness and functions as a critical conditioning and training method. Due to its length and technical detail, it presents a significant challenge to a practitioner's focus and endurance and is traditionally learned before advancing to other Chen forms. Resource & credit to my master at Next Level Taiji
Key Points
Foundational Status — Parent form for other major Taijiquan styles; the oldest and most traditional Chen routine
Movement Quality — Large, extended postures with a mix of fast and slow execution
Silk Reeling — Features silk reeling energy, the spiraling, continuous internal power Chen style is known for
Softness Dominant — Contains more softness than firmness, though both are present
Training Purpose — Primary conditioning and foundational training method in Chen-style curriculum
Prerequisite — Usually studied before learning other Chen forms (e.g., Lao Jia Er Lu)
Length & Complexity — Approximately 75 posture sequences; considered very difficult to perform correctly
Mental & Physical Demand — First major test of sustained focus, stamina, and technical precision for the practitioner
Wing Chun Kung Fu is a concept-based Chinese martial art from southern China, developed during the Qing dynasty. It emphasizes close-range combat, rapid strikes, and simultaneous attack and defense, famously associated with Ip Man and popularized by Bruce Lee.
Key Characteristics:
Economy of motion – minimal movement for maximum efficiency
Centerline theory – protects and attacks along the body's central axis
Chain punching – rapid, successive straight punches
Sticky hands (Chi Sau) – sensitivity training to read an opponent's intent
Deflection over brute force – redirects incoming energy rather than meeting it head-on
Core Principles:
Simultaneous attack and defense – one arm blocks while the other strikes
Softness overcoming hardness – using structure and timing over raw strength
Practical application – techniques designed for real self-defense scenarios
Famous Practitioners:
Ip Man – legendary grandmaster who taught Bruce Lee
Bruce Lee – trained in Wing Chun before founding Jeet Kune Do
Donnie Yen – actor who portrayed Ip Man in film series
Training Methods:
Siu Nim Tao – first form, foundational hand techniques
Chum Kiu – second form, footwork and turning
Biu Jee – third form, emergency techniques and finger strikes
Wooden Dummy (Muk Yan Jong) – solo training for precision and power
Chi Sau – partner sensitivity and reflex drills
Wing Chun is particularly effective for practitioners of smaller stature, as it relies on body mechanics, sensitivity, and technique rather than muscular strength.
One hour per week. Each week give you the time to practice on your own and process before the following week session.
Week 1 — Observe the Mind
Focus - The witness position; what to observe and how.
Core teaching - A new, simple way to observe—more powerful than complex techniques.
Key question - What am I actually seeing?
Meditation - Direct experience into the mind.
Week 2 — Breaking Free of Patterns
Focus - Ending conflicts; responding to unwanted patterns.
Core teaching - Ask Why does this affect me? Apply the break-pattern tool.
Key question - Why do these patterns affect me?
Meditation - Pattern-arising visualization; practice the break in real-time.
Week 3 — Reprogramming the Mind
Focus - Rewriting mental architecture based on your current programming.
Core teaching - The real power is not conceptualization—it's reprogramming.
Key question - What is my current programming?
Meditation - Reprogramming the subconscious mind. How do you know if it works or not?
Week 4 — Integration
Focus - Living the work in real life; tools for action.
Core teaching - Integration is everything—without it, no freedom from internal or external conflict.
Key question - Can I act when it counts?
Meditation - Apply your meditation into the real world. without integration you're stuck in conceptualization and perspective.
Awaken The Dragon Within
The Birth of Awaken the Dragon Within
I came into Taiji with 15 years of Kung Fu behind me. I understood structure, discipline, and the grind of building a body that could hold under pressure. But Taiji asked something different of me. It asked me to slow down. To stop moving and simply stand.
In less than a year of dedicated Taiji training, something clicked. I stopped searching for the right posture and started feeling it. Bone stacked on bone. Breath sinking into the lower abdomen. The ground rising up to meet me. That moment—when alignment becomes sensation rather than thought—is what I call Awaken The Dragon Within.
I distilled everything I learned into 13 standing postures. Not 50. Not 100. Just 13 essential structures that root your foundation in both Taiji and Kung Fu. No vague instructions. No "imagine your energy doing this." Just clear, physical alignment that you can feel immediately in your own body.
This system is for the beginner who wants to start right. For the martial artist who knows something is missing in their base. For anyone tired of guessing whether their posture is correct and ready to know.
Strong posture. Clear alignment. Zero guesswork.
Stand with me. Feel the difference.
13 Standing Postures to Root Your Foundation in Taiji & Kung Fu
This is not theory. This is felt.
Awaken The Dragon Within is a system of 13 standing postures designed to build the unshakable foundation every martial artist needs—whether your path is Taiji, Kung Fu, or both. No vague concepts. No guesswork.
You will learn to stand with structure. To align bone by bone, breath by breath, until your posture becomes something you feel in your body—not something you think about.
Each posture roots you deeper. Each session rewires your stance from the ground up. The result? A body that knows its own architecture. A stance that holds under pressure. A foundation strong enough to carry everything that comes next.
Stand correctly. Feel it immediately. Build from there.
You don't need flexibility. You don't need experience. You need consistency and the right progression.
What You'll Gain
Structural Power - Stand, move, and breathe with aligned strength that reduces chronic tension and prevents injury.
Nervous System Regulation - Drop into calm focus on demand—useful before meetings, after stress, or to sleep better. Progressive Skill Mastery - Each posture builds on the last; no guessing, no plateaus, no "advanced moves" before you're ready.
Embodied Confidence - The kind that comes from doing the work, not reading about it.
Prevent injury when training Taiji or another other forms of martial arts.
Who is this for?
Beginner:
Build your foundation first. Before Taiji. Before any martial art. Learn to feel your own posture and alignment—exactly how to stand, shift, and move. No guesswork.
Experienced:
Practiced for years? Learned forms, techniques, push hands—but never felt truly rooted? Go back to standing. Fix your root. Everything else builds from there.
In Person or Online 1:1.
Health. Internal arts. External arts. Doesn't matter—you need this. Foundation. Rooting. Structural alignment you can actually feel. Better standing. Better walking. Meditation with purpose. Total body awareness and strong root for Taiji & Martial Arts.
Beginner $250 for 1:1 coaching on the alignment of standing posture. 1 full hour, with instruction on structure and alignment. (Each posture we will stand for 3 mins.)
Intermediate $500 for a full 2 hours. Once you learn the basics, this is me holding you accountable and reviewing with you. We stand together in 13 postures.
Advanced If you can get up to intermediate standing (2+ hours) and you want to advance to holding each posture for 20 mins each, you'll stand for a total of 4.5 hours. If you want me to hold you accountable—which means I will stand with you for 4.5 hours—it's $1,100 for 5 hours. This must be in person so I can correct your alignment and posture.
Teacher/Sifu Testimonial Letter
April 28, 2026
I am pleased to provide this testimonial for Choying Huynh. I first met Choying at Wing Chun
Denver about 5 years ago. Choying has a wonderful personality and gets along well with
everyone. He has a very high level of knowledge about many martial arts styles and lineages.
He is continually practicing, reading, and increasing his knowledge. His knowledge and abilities
excel in both the Internal and External aspects of Wing Chun and Tai Chi.
Choying is a very talented Teacher/Sifu for many reasons. First is his approach while teaching
his students. He approaches his class in a very fun and open environment. He is there to help
his students learn and increase their skills. He is always positive and helpful with all students.
He considers if a student is a beginner or intermediate level or expert and teaches to each
person at their level.
It is refreshing to learn from him because his goals are to help each person learn and reach their
own goals. He is open and listens and talks with people to learn more about them and what
they want to learn. The vast majority of Martial Art schools seem to only have their goals in
mind when teaching and not what the student goals are. Their methodology is one size fits all.
Choying tailors his teaching lessons for each student and then the group as a whole. Everyone
will work and have fun at the same time.
I highly recommend anyone, at any level to take one of Choying’s classes. You will not be
disappointed that you did.
Sincerely,
Tom Strickland
Tai Chi is something I absolutely love to do. I was introduced to it by Choying Huynh at my job worksite. We were both employed with the same company, and I learned that he had a couple of folks showing up at the office early to do Tai Chi with him before work started.
He also had been running a home studio. So, I jumped onboard and found that I love it and I feel so much better after doing it in the morning, I am ready to start my day right. I feel it helps me clear out the cobwebs and gives me the ability to get rid of any storm clouds hanging over me and start the day with blue sky's. I think it would be awesome to make it a formal thing at my company and have instructors come in and open it to all of the employees.
It's a wonderful way to stay healthy and get in a good state of mind before starting off the day. I am always much more positive and happier when I leave Tai Chi to begin my day. I can't thank Choying enough for introducing me to it, as I am not sure I ever would have gone and tried it on my own, if he hadn't been instructing the class at work. I am much better balanced physically, and my state of mind has improved immensely, and I attribute these positive changes to Tai Chi under Choying's guidance. Unfortunately, he has moved on and is no longer working with me, but some of the other students and I decided we will continue doing Tai Chi in his absence and will utilize some of his videos for instruction. I am waiting to receive one more cord in the mail to work with the mini projector I got, and we will be in business!
