David Clippinger, 45, goes by many titles in Mt. Lebanon:
- Author
- Professor
- Lecturer
- Tai Chi and Chi Kung Master
- Owner of Still Mountain, a tai chi school
- Buddhist monk

With all of this, Clippinger uses his knowledge and talents

health benefits linked to practicing tai chi, which includes a lowering of
blood pressure and an increased healing rate for cancer patients who’ve
undergone radiation and chemotherapy treatments.

Cancer Symposium when it was held in Pittsburgh. He serves as a wellness
program consultant for a number of organizations and corporations, including
