Daoist Taiji Ruler Training
This class follows the principles and teachings of
"Daoist Master Chen Tuan’s Simplified
7-Stage Taiji Ruler System" by Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson.
Starting April 1st, 2o26
From 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm (Before Daoist Class)
About the training
This course offers a rare opportunity to practice the simplified 7-Stage Taiji Ruler System attributed to Daoist Master Chen Tuan, presented in a structured, accessible format for all.
Taught by Sifu Diego Sanmiquel, this 8-month training focuses on internal energy cultivation through coordinated movement, breath, intention, & shengong. The system is simple in form, yet deep in application, supporting internal arts training, personal cultivation, and long-term energetic development.
From a modern perspective, the training also supports the body’s fascial network and principles of tensegrity. The rhythmic, continuous movements help organize the connective tissue system, improve structural alignment, and develop integrated whole-body strength without excess tension.
Each stage builds progressively, guiding students through physical coordination, fascial integration, energetic refinement, and internal stability.
No prior training is required.

Hi! I'm Diego.
Our regular practice is the reward...
Anything else is a gift.
I have spent over 15 years teaching holistic practitioners how to apply Chinese Energetic Medicine in ways that are clear, grounded, and usable in their lives. I began studying energetic, spiritual, and esoteric systems at age nine, and I have trained closely under Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson for nearly two decades. I teach internationally in both English and Spanish, translating complex material into practical methods students can embody immediately. My commitment is simple, preserve the depth of these traditions while making them accessible, ethical, and effective for modern practitioners who want ancient skill, not theory alone.
