After instructing for some years under the banner of other schools, Darius formally established his own Lin Jie School in 2011. Meaning 'remarkable spiritual contribution', the name Lin Jie (pronounced lin jee-eh) was suggested to Darius by his teacher, Grandmaster Lin Feng-Chao, as a blessing for the school and its teaching.

The name is a symbol of the basic motivation behind Lin Jie and its activities, which is to maintain and promote the true spirit and purpose of the art of Tai Chi. For, to understand its underlying philosophy requires considerable study, meditation and self-reflection, and it must be practised primarily as a form of Self-realisation and spiritual alchemy. All other functions and benefits, whether health-related or martial, arise from this. Though all kinds of Tai Chi can be seen practised today, from the commercial to the fashionable, if the Art is not practised with a spiritual motivation, it is not really Tai Chi, but only something that outwardly resembles it.

Because a good knowledge and understanding of the Art is not commonplace, Darius works in parallel with his teacher to decode and reveal its deeper meaning. This is done via the Lin Jie School as well as the authoring of books and articles. Darius believes that his background of knowledge of the Buddhist, Daoist and Yoga teachings, as well as his experience in meditation and other martial arts, affords him the means to assist others in understanding the essence of Tai Chi.
