He began studying Taijiquan at Yang's in 1991 and, under the tutelage of Chief Instructor Alex Kiesel, learned how to instruct and guide students. Paul deepened his understanding of Taijiquan through the study of Qigong, Pushing Hands, Qin na, Sword, Saber, Staff and Martial Applications with Senior Instructor Jeffrey Pratt and Dr. Yang, Jwing-ming.

In 1998, Paul became certified to teach independently by Dr Yang and while teaching here at Yangs Andover, continues to study and deepen his knowledge so that he may accurately pass on to his students the subtle and profound Art of Classical Yang Style (YMAA) Taijiquan.
