About the author - Evan Pantazi

Health studies began in 1980 with Chi Gong therapy methods, receiving certification as a Chi Gong Therapist 1984. Other studies included Shiatsu, Tui Na (also Certified as a Therapist) and briefly Acupuncture. Combining this with Martial Arts yielded a system of Health and Wellness with more immediacy than prior training and studies could. This was due to the immediacy of the dysfunction inflicted upon training partners and the need for more immediate revival and restorative measure needed.

Kyusho (Vital Point) studies evolved into a deep study of the human anatomy and condition with association with Medical Doctors and Universities. The system developed has been proven on thousands of individuals in over 30 Countries around the world as Evan Pantazi has been fortunate enough to have been invited to teach seminars and training functions around the world.

Further accomplishments:

Also training in the Martial Arts Starting with Judo in 1975, which immediately spurred an interest in the Arts that has grown steadily through the years. In that same year I was introduced to Wing Chun that added the entering, sensitivity and striking that I had not found in the Judo. A real incident brought me to seek not just these technical Arts but a less regimented and more natural method for protection that was found in Kenpo. From the Kenpo training which increased my coordination and stamina I began the study of Wu Shu which ended after only a few years as I sought out the softer styles of Martial Arts like Tai Chi, Ba Qua, Jujitsu, Aikido and finally into the healing Arts of Tui Na, Chi Gong. Working with Military, Law Enforcement and Emergency Personnel integrating Pressure Point Control or Incapacitation for situational needs.

Currently Instructing internationally in: Australia, Belgium, Bermuda, Canada, Costa Rica, Denmark, Ecuador, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA.
