Testimonials
Voices from the road, from years of practice, personal meeting and quiet and continuous work.
Hanan Liber
I have been practicing tai chi with Marek for almost two years, and it has become a part of my life routine.
Going to the garden in the morning, breathing fresh air, hearing the chirping of birds - this is a good way to start the day...
And tai chi, there is something mysterious about it, and its effect on me is not entirely clear to me, but it is clear to me that there is an effect, and a good effect...
And Marek, seeing him do Tai Chi is a source of inspiration in itself, he illustrates and presents the technique in an extraordinary way...
In conclusion - recommend!
Yoni Dolev
I joined Marek's school about four years ago, after trying several different training methods and teachers, and I was immediately hooked.
Tai Chi training with Marek is for me an anchor of peace in life and creates a connection of body and soul, while sharpening the ability to look inward and outward.
I enjoy the continuous training process typical of Tai Chi, while rediscovering at each stage of the study the possible development space, and the ocean of knowledge and experience that Marek has to offer in a variety of training techniques and styles.
In short, recommend.
Dennis
I have been practicing Tai Chi with Marek for over 10 years.
Marek is a dedicated, personable and patient teacher, always ready to help any student regardless of their level or background in practice.
Beyond the positive effects on health (alleviation of arthritis, for example), the philosophy behind the practice enriches and resonates beautifully with a world view.

TAI CHI AND ITS VIRTUES
I have been practicing Tai Chi with Marek for 13 years now in the magnificent park of the roses, near the Knesset, in a magical space of cedar trees, flowing water, a lake, and more specifically under a cherry tree...
Today, after such a long time, I think I can analyze what Tai Chi has given me and how it has changed my life.
I have been a dancer all my life and practiced ballet until today, but Tai Chi has other merits and virtues: first, it is gentle, and does not ask from the body a very strict and difficult discipline as ballet does. When I practice it every week, and gradually every day, it gives me serenity, calm, beauty, integration with nature, suppleness, and an amazing connection with my body.
Tai Chi is for me one of the major arts I know, and in the chaos of our modern world it brought me such order, direction, and pleasure that I can almost say it is a metaphysical miracle — a meditation in movement which indeed surpasses all the physical arts I have been in contact with. Its impact on health is also impressive.
Moreover, Marek is a brilliant and dedicated master and the group is splendid.
Sorin Solomon
I am taking Tai Chi lessons from Sifu Marek for the last couple of years.
Before this, I had a rather sedentary schedule (I am a professor of Physics at the Hebrew University).
Tai Chi has put me in contact with my own body and makes me feel alive and happy.
Marek is a wonderful teacher and I enjoy every moment of this wonderful rediscovery of life and the world.
As a consequence, I discovered how my Dan Tien can extend and express its vital force in other contexts: TI Swimming, Argentine Tango, Feldenkrais motion awareness...
The group of people whom Marek has gathered and trained is very inspiring and supportive, and practices a very deep and rigorous Chen Pan Ling Tai Chi style.
I can definitely say this experience has changed, and still changes, my life from good to better and better.
