Dr. Mark Li was born into the authentic tradition of Chinese internal arts and Daoist energy cultivation. He inherited through direct transmission from his father and grandfather the lineage, knowledge, and wisdom of his predecessors passed down over several centuries.

Dr. Li’s training began at a very young age with his father, Grandmaster Li Tai Liang, esteemed grandmaster of Chinese martial and energetic tradition, who is recognized and acclaimed in China and in the West. After moving to the United States, Dr. Li pursued his Ph.D. in economics and continues to enjoy combining his scholarly skills into research and university teaching as well as into developing an easily applicable method for teaching the secrets about unlocking the potential power of internal and energetic arts.

Over the past several decades, internal arts and energetic practices have rapidly spread from East to West. Daoist meditation, Qigong, and Tai Chi have became popular, with tens of millions of practitioners around the world today. But authentic knowledge and information in the West is often diluted, perhaps because a teacher has not received the complete transmission or perhaps certain knowledge is lost in translation. Even in China, deeper, thorough knowledge is strictly taught and transmitted indoors to those who are born into or are invited and accepted into authentic lineages.

Dr. Li’s passion is to share the knowledge and wisdom he has gleaned from his years of dedicated study and practice, and to make available to the public the secrets of health and longevity handed down to him through his authentic lineage. Born in China into a family tradition of skilled internal arts grandmasters, educated in the United States where he pursued his doctorate in economics, Dr. Li combines his Eastern root with a Western application. The Chi Body is Dr. Li’s easily applied method for teaching authentic ancient (and often secretive) techniques in order to cultivate internal Dantian potential and transform it into the power of a physically aligned and healthy body, a focused and calm mind, and inner peace.
