George Gantt

George has been teaching TaiChi for 39 years. He began his career in TaiChi by way of his own personal experience in early 1970's. He suffered a severe knee injury in 1971 playing football at a junior college in Virginia and underwent three major surgeries all in hopes that not only would he be able to walk again; but also play football. After learning a brief lesson in TaiChi he improved so much that he was able to return playing football. The interest took him to China to further his studies and training. He studied with Master Chunan Jiang from Hunan, China and Master Pei Sheng Wong from Beijing, China. George was certified as a TaiChi Instructor and brought his teachings back to the United States to share with the young and old alike. George has been able to share this information to others by way of seminars, classes, radio and television interviews. He has taught classes at Furman University, Converse College, St. Francis Hospital, Greenville Hospital System, and Mary Black Hospital, Power House Gym and Pivotal Fitness Center. He currently teaches classes at his gym, Equilibrium Zen Gym in Greenville, SC and South Carolina Governor's School for the Arts and Humanities in Greenville, SC.
