Jason Weil

About Jason Weil www.inneroceantaichi.com Master Jason Weil (Chen Cheng Jie 陳誠捷) is a thirteenth generation of Chen family tai chi practitioner. Jason has been a student of the martial arts for over twenty years but decided to solely focus on tai chi as it directly aligned with his spiritual practice of harmony and self-discovery. Tai chi was also a smart way to develop gong fu while repairing his body and mind from years of hard training. He has studied intensively under Master Jesse Tsao since 2009 and became a direct disciple in 2017. To diversify his tai chi knowledge, he attended several workshops with Grandmasters Chen Zhenglei, Zhu Tiancai, and Chen Xiaowang, took private lessons and workshops with Master Chen Youze, Master Chen Bing, and studied with Master Tony Wong. In addition to tai chi, Jason continues to work in quality and compliance for some of the top biotech organizations currently located in South San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Jason has also been practicing meditation intensively for many years, enjoys hiking in nature, and having a good cup of organic coffee to start the day. Jason is a big believer in student-first teaching and uses a hands-on approach to constantly adjust the students’ training to keep them on track. Jason uses student feedback to continue to develop better and more specific ways to help impart lessons and works to facilitate a student-teacher partnership where both parties are accountable for the student’s success. He doesn’t just wave at you from on top of the mountain; he comes back to guide you along the way so that everyone can enjoy the view. Jason has a unique ability to get students to feel the real tai chi skill for themselves. He works to dispel myths and doubt and leaves students with a sense of empowerment. He guides students to a moment of clarity. “Know the joy and love of tai chi for yourself.” Develop your inner ocean.
