Wu Ji Jing Gong Legacy Holders
Patty Pagano
Patty Pagano is a dedicated and passionate practitioner and teacher of Qi Gong and Tai Chi, with over 20 years of experience in these ancient healing arts. Her journey began with the study of Sun Style Tai Chi under the guidance of Fran Maher and Brian Coffey, whose instruction laid a strong foundation in both movement and internal energy cultivation.
Through their mentorship, Patty was introduced to the profound lineage of Wu Ji Jing Gong—a style that encompasses both Tai Chi and Qi Gong, and that deeply resonated with her. She continued her studies with Master William Ting, a revered teacher in the Wu Ji Jing Gong tradition. Patty’s dedication and skill were soon recognized, and she was honored with an invitation to join Master Ting’s exclusive group of teacher trainees. Under his mentorship, she began her journey to becoming a recognized instructor in this lineage.
Patty also expanded her studies through the lineage of Grand Master Tzu Kuo Shih, under whose guidance she trained as a Qi Healer and became a certified Qi Healing Teacher. This path was further supported and enriched by her longtime teachers Fran Maher and Brian Coffey, who were also connected to Grand Master Shih’s lineage and played a pivotal role in her development as both a practitioner and healer.
Further deepening her energy practice, Patty learned the elegant and flowing Swimming Dragon form with Melanie Shih, adding another layer of internal awareness and movement refinement to her repertoire. She continues to evolve her practice under the mentorship of Joe Eber, further expanding her understanding of energy dynamics and holistic wellness.
Today, Patty teaches Wu Ji Jing Gong Qi Gong and Tai Chi at the Martinsville Community Center in Martinsville, NJ, in Chester, NJ, and virtually via Zoom.
For Patty, teaching is more than a vocation—it is a calling. Having experienced the transformative physical, mental, and spiritual benefits of these arts firsthand, she is deeply committed to helping others discover the same healing power within themselves. Her classes are known for their clarity, warmth, and supportive spirit, making the profound wisdom of Qi Gong and Tai Chi accessible to all.
