My Exercise and Training Phylosophy:
"Although Weight Training (Exercising Against Resistance is the better term) and the Chinese Exercise system of T'ai-Chi Chuan are two completly different methods of exercise, their goals and health benefits are very much the same"
1.Tendon/Ligament strength and joint stability.
2.Increased bone strength and density.
3.Improved Circulation and Metabolism.
4.Reduced Blood Pressure.
5.Delay the general Age-Related decline in Strength.
.... Tai-Chi Chuan ....
Today there are available many Forms and Instructors of this ancient Chinese system. Diosdado Santiago brings to the student the exemplary method of the Master, Professor Cheng Man-Ching, with his emphasis on Principles, Phylosophy, and correct execution. With his twenty five years of association and training with the Senior Students of Professor Cheng's N.Y. City School, Shr Jung, and his easy to learn system of practice, Mr. Santiago helps the beginner to obtain the benefits of this system very quickly. Advanced Students also have an opportunity to sharpen their Forms for competitions through individual corrections.
.... Weight Training ....
Personal supervision on all Strength, Body Shaping, and Fat Loss Programs is the way to obtain results. Mr. Santiago is a Personal Trainer, Coach, and Nutritional Counsellor, he has been helping individuals of all ages, for the past forty years, to obtain their desired goals in these areas.
.... Massage and Corrective Exercise ....
Massage Treatment coupled with Corrective Exercises is the method to correct Chronic Muscle and Joint problems. Most individuals have never followed a course of rehabilitaion for the many injuries we suffer in life and specially in sports activities, Mr. Santiago as a Licensed Massge Therapist uses Acupressure, and Neural Muscular Integration to restore the Strengt and Health to the affected body part.
.... Classes and Corrections ....
On Saturdays and Sundays the Fitness Studio is conducting workshops on Personal Training on all of the above subjects. If you are interested on a personalized program for Tai-Chi Chuan, Body Shaping or Weight Reduction, I can help you to achieve your fitness goals by working together in private sessions or with a small group.
The weekends are also a great way to enter into the practice of T'ai-Chi Chuan. You could learn the entire 37 Postures of Professor Cheng Man-Ching in a short three months. I am also available for Forms Corrections on the complete system which includes The Hand, Sword, Staff, and the Push Hands Forms.
