Thank you for the invitation. Glad to connect with you all. I go by "Mado." I am originally from Japan and I now live/play/work in Long Beach, CA.

Looking forward to reconnecting with Dr. Daniel Hoover and the SOHMA Tai Chi community.

Hi, and welcome to SOHMA Tai Chi! I’m Dr. Daniel Hoover, the creator of the School of Healing Martial Arts and the SOHMA Tai Chi Instructor Certification Program. We’re excited to have you here as you build your practice, deepen your understanding, and work toward becoming a confident Tai Chi practitioner and or a certified instructor. This community is your space to learn, ask questions, and grow alongside others on this path. How about you? Will you introduce yourself and share what you’re looking forward to in this program? I'm looking forward to learning with you, supporting your journey, and seeing you progress every step of the way. 🌿

Hi everyone! I’m so thrilled to start this journey! I’m a holistic chiropractor in Eastern North Carolina. I have entirely too many passions and hobbies to list but Tai Chi is at the top. I was introduced to Tai Chi before I met Daniel while conducting a clinical study of the effects of Chiropractic and Tai Chi on reaction time. Needless to say, I was sold by the results! Then I met Daniel. He was a classmate and dear friend of mine in chiropractic school. Whenever I was able to steal away from studying, I enjoyed attending Tai Chi classes on Sundays on Signal Hill or Heartwell Park in Long Beach. Daniel is an amazing instructor and I am so excited to work towards certification under his tutelage! 0 Reply

Aloha! I became a certified instructor with Dr. Daniel / SOHMA in Long Beach. I have since relocated to Honolulu and have only done a few group practices. If you are ever going to be in Honolulu look me up so we can do a Tai Chi practice. I'll be out of commission Dec. due to knee replacement surgery but hope to do solo practices mid-late January.
