Instructor Info

Trent Wharton has trained since 2013 in T'ai Chi, with focus on the Yang Short form (as presented by Cheng Man Ching in 37 postures.) He learned under Gerald Moose, as a 3rd generation student of Cheng, in which he entered the teaching circle to deepen his learning of T'ai Chi.

Trent also holds multiple certifications in both medical and practitioner Qigong, including a 200 hour medical Qigong certification through the Qigong Learning Center.

He also spent a large amount of time in his younger years studying Shorinji Kempo karate in which he engaged in leading class as well as competing in competitions, helping to easily apply internal arts to external intent. Almost half his life has been spent in the study of the internal and external arts.

Trent is registered with the Qigong Institute.

His current regular class is at Wellspring in Asheville, NC on Saturdays at 8:00 am.
