About Jack Parnell:
Jack is a certified Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan Hand Form Trainer. He is authorized to teach the Essential Form, the 16-Form, and the first section of the 103 Traditional Form. He holds the second rank (Silver Eagle) with the International Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan Association.
He earned his teaching certification through The Tai Chi Chuan Teacher Academy in Danbury, CT after two years of preparation and study, and is on the path to earn his Associate Instructor certification in 2027. He first came to Tai Chi by way of his now wife when they first started dating several years ago. She invited him to go to "Tai Chi in the Plaza" in the park in Old Town Lewisville, and he was hooked.
Jack holds a Bachelor Degree from The University of Texas at Dallas in Psychology and a Masters Degree in Business from Texas A&M University at Commerce. He is a veteran of the Air Force and served a tour of duty before going on to work at telecommunications companies. He still works his day job as a technical project manager with a major carrier.
He has a martial arts background with Tae Kwon Do, which he practiced as a teen. This martial arts background influences his Tai Chi, with all the martial aspects of the movements considered (no sparring). He teaches the requirements of the Yang style’s system, yet gives plenty of support for students to find what is right for them and what supports their goals —which can be as simple as just enjoying a relaxing class or as ambitious as entering competitions.
