Ruler Tai Chi™ is an organization that provides instruction in the t’ai chi ruler, t’ai chi ch’uan, and traditional Chinese qigong. Sifu Fred Jennes, a martial artist teacher and Oriental medicine physician with more than 40 years of training and practice, is the principle instructor.
His mission is to share his expertise with students who are seeking ways to achieve better physical health, establish more balance in their lives, and explore ancient Asian culture and philosophy. Based in Greeley, Colorado, Ruler Tai Chi™ offers classes, products, and resources that will enable students to have a rich learning experience which will bring healing, peace, and wisdom to their lives.
I’ve been teaching Ruler Tai Chi™ classes in Greeley and Northern Colorado for 30 years, and participants experience a variety of benefits. Whether we’ve had the pleasure of sharing in a group class in Greeley or an online course, practitioners of Ruler Tai Chi™ find increased mobility and revitalized energy, and their minds and bodies are engaged in a new and exciting way.
The movements of T'ai Chi are designed to move vital energy (qi) through your body in the proper way according to the principles of Oriental medicine. At the end of your session you will feel relaxed and refreshed—not sore and tired. It’s the perfect exercise for the martial artist in Northern Colorado who is injured and recovering, or facing the challenges of an aging body.
Many martial arts have a sense of grimness and determination to them. T'ai Chi is a pleasure to learn. The movements are slow and relaxed––you must stay loose and flexible to perform them. And yes, you can use the ruler for combat. But unlike some traditional weapons, the device itself, a short wooden dowel, is pleasing to hold and easy to wield. Ruler Tai Chi™ classes in Greeley or online engage the participant’s mind and body in a unique way.
If you are already a long-time student or practitioner of another martial art form, you may now find it stale and lifeless. A daily round of T'ai Chi will shake up your practice routine, and may even breathe new life into your current martial art study. Practice T'ai Chi with courses that fit into any lifestyle by joining an in-person class or workshop in Northern Colorado.

Ruler T'ai Chi™ is the fighting form of the t’ai chi ruler. Although there are many qigong forms which use the t’ai chi ruler for qi cultivation, no fighting form has been documented in the literature, or passed down through a martial arts family.
