Sifu Cullen Hallmark from Santa Fe, NM. Has over 20 years studying and teaching Tai Chi, Yang & Wu styles besides Qigong, push hands and related arts...He has taught for many years at my teacher's, Robert Tangora, Tai Chi School in Santa Fe, NM. In fact I consider Cullen one of my teachers and not just a Tai Chi Brother and friend. He has studied under some of the great Tai Chi Masters of our generation to include Master George Xu, Master Bruce Frantzis, Master Wang, Hao Da, Grandmaster Zhu, Tian Cai just to name a few. He has conducted several workshops in El Paso on Tai Chi Sword, Push Hands, Qigong among other topics. He is a humble, patient and down to earth Sifu.

He is also currently working towards a master’s degree in physical therapy at the University of Texas at El Paso. As a former state and national push hands champion, as well as having taught in settings such as physical rehabilitation, with senior citizens and the general population for the past 8 years, Louie has found the practice of Tai Chi and Chi Gung to be immensely beneficial in helping to create a more balanced and vigorous state of health, well being, and athletic capacity.

I would like to extend this invitation to explore a wonderful form of exercise, meditation and self defense which has helped to make the lives of millions of people healthy and vibrant.
