About the Author:
Bob Klein began studying Eastern philosophy, healing and martial arts in 1966. He received his Tai-chi-Chuan teaching certificate from Grandmaster William C. C. Chen in 1975 and began his "Long Island School of Tai-chi-Chuan" in Sound Beach, where he has been teaching ever since.
He has also apprenticed with natural healers from other cultures such as Celtic and Native American and was taught Hebrew philosophy from an early age.
Mr. Klein was a teacher of zoology from 1970 to 1990, presenting ecological programs in many schools throughout the Northeast. He also was one of the early promoters of captive breeding of rare animals and maintains a breeding collection of several species of reptiles to this day.
He was attracted to Tai-chi-Chuan because it is based on animal movements.
He is also the author of "Movements of Power" and has produced 60 instructional videos on Tai-chi and related health, healing and martial arts subjects. Mr. Klein is also the head of a system of chi-gung which he translates at "Zookinesis" (animal exercises).
