The hundreds of testimonials received from practitioners of Fusion One are not the only testament to the effectiveness of the program, a number of studies have also been done.

To date, three studies have been conducted to determine the overall effectiveness and specific benefits of Fusion One. In all cases, the results were favorable.

In 1983 a study was conducted by the Ryusui Center in New York. The purpose of the study was to compare the benefits resulting from the practice of yoga, tai chi and fusion one. The result of the study showed that -when compared to the other two systems- fusion one was easier to learn. Furthermore, when compared to tai chi alone, fusion one was more comprehensive and offered benefits that were more immediate and greater in number.

A second study conducted in 1994 by the Ryusui Center, showed what most practitioners of Fusion One had known for years; the program offers great benefits.

The study made use of 34 beginning students who were selected randomly. The selected students were questioned and tested at the start of their training experience to determine the presence of any existing health conditions and their levels of fitness.

After two months of practice, each student was, again, questioned and tested to determine the effect (s) of the training on existing health conditions, degree of fitness and general well being. All participants experienced positive results (benefits) that included increased flexibility; increased energy; improvement in ability to relax; increase in muscular strength (especially legs); improvement in the quality of sleep; deeper, more controlled breathing; reduction in the degree of pain caused by minor ailments; some improvement in balance and a general feeling of well being (this last benefit was experienced by all of the participants).

A third study conducted in 1999 by Tiririka Of Florida Inc., duplicated the study of 1994 and obtained similar results.

We welcome any effort on the part of the medical, academic and/or scientific communities to conduct further studies on the benefits and/or effectiveness of the Fusion One program.
