A picture of Master Wang and Casey taken at the 2009 Taichi Summer Camp.
Hi, my name’s Casey. I’m 31 years old. I love video games, the internet, personal development and most importantly martial arts. If you call the number on the website (414-455-0683) or send an email I’m the one that’s going to answer or write you back. I’m also the guy that teaches class. Above is a photo of me and my tai chi teacher Master Henry Wang. Here are the quick facts about my martial arts experience:
- Over 15 years of experience as a martial artist.
- 13 years of Tai Chi (Wang/Yang Short Form)
- 5 Years of training in Taiwan (Tai Chi and BJJ)
- 2nd place in moving step push hands 85-90kg at The 1st World Cup TaiChi Championship (2006)
- 6 years of Northern Shaolin Kung Fu
- 4 years of Brazilian Jujitsu (Blue Belt)
- 2 years of BJJ competition training (golds, silvers, a bronze and total losses)
- 2 years of Okinawan Karate
The video below has some of the experiences that converted me into a lifelong student of taichi:
Here’s a video of what I looked like at my first BJJ tournament:
I started getting “pro” and did cool stuff like this later on:

Great stuff…thinking that I need to MAKE some time for this. See ya soon!
Awesome! I think you’re going to like it and I have a good feeling it’s the kind of thing you’re looking for.
nice work, keep progressing, i like that you compete in shuai chiao, BJJ, and tui shou.
Hi Casey
Met you at Exeter, we did one of Patrick’s exercises together, I had you laughing for some reason, but I’m guessing that’s part of your natural makeup. Anyway, good to see you on the web, I admire your humility above anything else. Keep the faith.
Ian Jackson (Joe Harte student from Northern Rngland),
Hey Ian. Thanks for stopping by! Yeah, the laughing is totally a part of my natural makeup. Not sure where it comes from (but I like it!) I’m looking forward to making another trip England in the nearish future and I’m sure one or two of my students will tag along. Keep practicing!
Good attitude and info, Casey. Good luck with your Tai Chi, keep training!
Thanks Terry! I just started a forum to discuss push hands and tai chi. Not much on there now though, but keep it in mind! Might be a cool places in a few months.
