A Message from our Founder
Life is full of surprises. And although many people "save for a rainy day", most do not know how to optimize on the quality and quantity of their overall health and wellbeing.
I was very fortunate, at a key time in my life, to have had an interest in the ancient practices of Karate, Qigong and Yoga. Because not only have I achieved a level of health, that one could only dream of. When I gave up my stressful career as a bank executive, and later CEO, I found a purpose in something that I loved to do.
Through Studio Qi, I have shared this wisdom, helping others find their Calm being, and improve their overall lives. And I was so excited when we were able to establish Studio Qi University as a platform for extending the love of what we do.

Testimonials
“I have found training under Sensei Marchtaler to be a truly transforming experience, which I would heartily recommend to others. Not only has my strength, range of motion, balance, coordination, focus and even joint pain improved; but my self-image and outlook have also changed. I have gone from being a person dealing with a debilitating disease to an aspiring athlete.”
Bruce Duncan, Government Consultant
“Thank you Ken! I know my father would be thrilled to know he touched your life. Thank you for touching the lives of others”
Shannon Lee, daughter of the late Bruce Lee
“As I continue my karate training in the Seattle area, where I now live, I will always remember my humble beginnings and the patience and shining example of Sensei Ken, who helped me start on this path of discipline and personal development.”
Rebekah Demiral, Author "Nothing's for Nothing"
“I met Ken at a conference but I had known about him long before I met him.. the one thing that resonated with me was his calm, beautiful inner strength and I know that also comes from a very hard dedication of focus and discipline.”
Catherine Deroche, Oceania Cruises
“I enjoy Ken’s presence, I appreciate his work and contribution to the planet and I admire his sincerity and heart. He is the real deal.”
Dr. Allison rees, Life Seminars
“As one of “those people” who always said I can't meditate, I now say that if I can, anyone can. Ken patiently led me through the process and it was not only painless, I now look forward to those quiet moments of meditation. It has helped me both personally and professionally to stay calmer, more focused and present in everyday situations. I definitely notice it when I get off track and miss my daily mediation. Thank you Ken!”
