I showed up for a beginners class and nobody was there. There was not any signs posted as the website said there would be. I tried to contact Raplh via E-mail..... no response! Thanks!

I am only two weeks into my experience as a beginner, and I am very encouraged. Shifu Ralphs instructional style balances focused discipline with understanding of each students unique ability. As the most senior and least slender attendee, I have not been pushed to do any more than that of which I am able. It is clear that the mission at Have Qi Will Travel is for each student to have a fulfilling experience.

Ralph Dehner has extensive training which he shares unselfishly. Capable of training the beginner to the advanced student in the same class and not anyone feeling wanting for learning. Patient, fun. Worth every bit of your time and investment to attend a class taught by Ralph.

Students who begin any new Tai Chi/Qigong class bring various abilities to it but in Ralph’s classes they don’t realize their differences when he’s teaching. Now THAT’S a good teacher! He has a specific way of breaking down the movements so that everyone benefits. When I attend any of Ralph’s classes, whether for something new or for a review, I feel like the additional information I get pushes me further to the goals I have for my practice. I look forward to attending his classes when the time & place magically fall together so I can.

Ralph Dehner is a master, and hes also like a friend, so human and real despite his connection to the wisdom and the reality and the practice in which most of us dont engage unfortunately. Have Qi Will Travel has helped me become a happier, more confident, more peaceful person. My life is so much richer for this journey. Thanks!

Shifu Ralph has a very engaging manner about his teaching. He is very patient and kind and does not make you feel bad about not learning something quickly. He inspires students to continue with their quest for peace.

Ralph Dehner is a wonderful instructor! His instructions are clear, and he is patient with you as you learn the form. He shares his knowledge a little at a time so you are not overwhelmed. His classes are fun, too!Ann Taylor

I have been taking classes from Ralph at Have Qi Will Travel for several years. I appreciate they style of the class. He individualizes the instruction to the participants in each class. It is fun to be able to play with the varied Tai Chi sets.

I am a septuagenerian with limited athletic ability. I sought Tai Chi training when I started to become unsteady descending stairs. I was referred to Have Qi Will Travel by my physician and by several friends. At first, I was not sure I would be able to learn the complicated patterns of Tai Chi. Ralph and his staff were patient and encouraging. Before long, I was able to keep up with the beginning forms. As time went on, I learned more and more complicated forms. I was delighted that my unsteadiness on stairs became a thing of the past. I felt balanced and confident. My physician was very pleased by my progress. Unfortunately, I had to suspend training because of schedule conflicts with job and church responsibilities. I am, however, planning to resume my Tai Chi work with Ralph and his staff after the turn of the year. In talking to friends who have taken Tai Chi at other venues, I am glad I chose Have Qi Will Travel for my training.

Ralph Dehner is a wonderful teacher who is able to share his knowledge and love of Tai Chi with people of all experience levels. He is gentle, patient, and generous. I love his classes.

I have been studying Tai Chi with Shifu Ralph Dehner for about 13 years. I take three classes a week and attend every workshop he offers. I am never in his presence without learning something new. I consider myself fortunate that he lives in our area.

Master Ralph Dehner is a most experienced Tai Chi and Reiki Master. He teaches with patience and yet progresses his training based on each students increasing capabilities. I have been studying with him now for over 2 and one half years and hope to continue for many more.Jim B

Been taking tai chi with him for 3 years. Fantastic teacher! Enjoyable and informative every time.

I cant say enough about Ralphs teaching of Tai Chi. I have studied with him a little over a year and my balance, which had been terrible, has improved a great deal. It seems as if Ralph knows absolutely everything about Tai Chi and, more importantly, knows how to teach it.

Shifu Ralph is a master teacher of many forms including the Beijing Sports University 24 form, the 42 competition form, the 40, the 48, the 32 sword, the 42 sword as well as saber, fan and rod forms. He is well schooled in Yang and Sun styles and is a first generation student of Dr. Paul Lams Tai Chi for health. He understands all levels of Tai Chi as a form of physical and meditative exercise. His demeanor is that of patience and kindness with a bit of humor but always professional. He is always enthusiastic and never gets tired of teaching (even in the most repetitive situations). He is able to manage several skill levels in the same class and still give attention to all. I began Tai Chi with Shifu Ralph and have played for almost 14 years, but I can still learn a new technique or better way to improve my Tai Chi under his instruction. I would highly recommend Shifu Ralphs class to anyone who wants to learn proper Tai Chi. It has been and continues to be a wonderful experience!

I have studied Yang and Sun styles tai chi with Shifu Ralph for more than 10 years. He is a patient and thorough teacher with both beginners and more experienced students and he has a sense of humor....always good for those of us who are left/right challenged. There is always a new layer or depth of tai chi to uncover. He knows when you are ready to see it.

I have been studying with Ralph for 7 years. He is knowledgeable, thorough and patient. He is always studying to improve his tai chi and that of his students. If you are looking for an enjoyable introduction to tai chi or if you are already familiar with tai chi and want to improve, sign up for a class at Have Qi Will Travel Tai Chi!!

Ralph is a master of his practice, totally devoted to Tai Chi. An excellent instructor. Lucky to have him.

I have been studying with Shifu Dehner for nearly a decade and would recommend his classes to anyone interested in learning tai chi. With decades of experience and an unselfish commitment to sharing his knowledge, he offers an excellent opportunity to every student - from beginners to experienced players - to deepen their understanding and appreciation of this art.

I have been playing tai chi and qi gong with Shifu Ralph for over ten years, enjoying his calm, patient approach along with a good sense of humor when needed. He integrates different levels of student expertise from beginner to those who have been studying for years into his classes, so that everyone benefits from his instruction.Shifu Ralph teaches many forms and has been trained by very good Tai Chi masters.Learning tai chi has been very beneficial for my overall health and body conditioning, and I am happy that I have Shifu Ralph as my instructor.

You will not find a better Tai Chi teacher in this area! Come to a class, sit in, and you will see why.
