Principal

Roman Czerniawsky

New South Wales

For more than 25 years Sifu Roman Czerniawsky has been studying and teaching all aspects of Tai Chi Chuan, as passed on from his teacher, Sifu John Hartley.

He has taught numerous students to a very high level, including health professionals (doctors, physiotherapists and massage therapists).

Sifu Roman believes in maintaining the utmost integrity of the art of Tai Chi Chuan, adhering to the timeless principles of the Tai Chi Classics.

Importantly, Sifu Roman teaches the whole art, including the martial art applications, internal energy development and the philosophy behind the art.

A practitioner of martial arts for over 40 years, Roman's long-time interest in health and body alignment has led him to study and practice remedial and therapeutic massage, Feldenkrais and Bowen technique. For many years he ran a successful clinic and looked after various sports teams.

Roman has also led a successful eight-week pilot program for Spinal Rehabilitation Patients by the Prince of Wales Hospital, Sydney, in 2008. This program explored the application of the principles of Tai Chi Chuan in therapeutic practice and the published results have been presented to medical specialists from across Australia.

Roman is also currently leading a 2010 program for spinal injury patients run by ParaQuad (Paraplegic & Quadraplegic Association of NSW - www.paraquad.org.au).

Roman's teaching expertise and experience is highly sought after by other Tai Chi organisations. He has been in demand to train the senior trainers of Tai Chi schools and to conduct workshops for other Tai Chi organisations.

These accredited teachers of the Li Chi Hsiang Method have studied under Sifu Roman Czerniawsky for many years and also had the great good fortune to learn from his teacher, Sifu John Hartley.

Each came to Li Chi Hsiang Tai Chi Chuan after extensive pursuit of other martial arts over many years, but have found in their teachers' faithful transmission of the full traditional art of Tai Chi Chuan the physical, mental and spiritual answers to their many questions.

Over the past 18 years Darren has studied the Art of Tai Chi Chuan through the daily practice and teaching of the form, push hands and weapons. Darren thanks his Sifu Roman Czerniawsky for his continual patient guidance in transmitting the principles and philosophies of the Art. Darren has also been fortunate to train under Sifu Roman's teacher, Sifu John Hartley.
 
Darren aims to promote the Art as it has been handed down in the traditional manner, directly from teacher to student. He relocated to Burnie, Tasmania, in 2005 where he offers instruction to interested students.
