Mindful Cultivation of Aggressive Energy
Master the complete spectrum of power—from patient preparation to decisive action. Through three decades of mastery across Eastern and Western disciplines, discover how to cultivate both the yielding softness that sets up victory and the explosive force that claims it.
Begin Your JourneyAggressive energy is the vital force within us all—often misunderstood, frequently suppressed, and rarely cultivated with intention. When left untrained, this energy becomes sloppy and self-destructive, turning inward to create tension, anxiety, and conflict. True mastery requires understanding both yin and yang aspects of power.
Professor Spencer Gee grew up in a tradition of acupuncture and Chinese medicine, interpreting tai chi through the lens of the Five Elements and yin-yang theory. He guides students to master both the yielding receptivity that draws opponents into vulnerability and the explosive decisiveness that capitalizes on opportunity—integrating these complementary forces in body, martial practice, and daily strategic thinking.
Born in San Francisco on May 9, 1960, to a Chinese-American physician who helped bring acupuncture to the West Coast, my path began with a foundation in alternative healing. My father's practice of deep tissue massage and acupuncture shaped my early understanding of holistic wellness, leading me to seek physical excellence through martial arts—valued more highly than medicine in Chinese culture.
After earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in Physical Education from the University of Southern California with a concentration in Motor Growth and Developmental Learning, I began my lifelong journey across multiple martial and creative disciplines. Each art form revealed another facet of human movement and the cultivation of internal power.
Today, as an Adjunct Professor at Hofstra University teaching Tai Chi Chuan and Martial Arts (2007–present), and through my practice at Functional Fitness in Roslyn, New York, I work with everyone from corporate executives to individuals managing neurological conditions, integrating my SABRE philosophy—Strike A Balance to Renew Energy.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation where we explore your physical history, emotional landscape, and spiritual aspirations. Every student's path is unique—whether you're a Fortune 500 executive seeking mental clarity or someone managing chronic pain, your program will be tailored to your specific needs.
Sessions blend multiple disciplines seamlessly. You might begin with Tai Chi's flowing movements to center your energy, transition to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu principles for grounding, and conclude with Flamenco footwork to ignite your inner fire. This integration creates a practice that is both challenging and deeply nourishing.
