LATE START OF ARTIST CAREER
The roots of acceleraze begin with classical music and Chia’s late discovered wish to become a classical artist. Born in Taiwan, he spent his childhood in Toronto, Canada and studied piano in Stuttgart. Arriving in Germany at age 17, he realized that his talent and previous training were not going to suffice to make it to the top.
So he began searching for alternative methods to overcome technical and psychological hurdles and developed an effective methodology for himself. His arm and hand movements on the piano became faster and more precise, yet softer even after acceleration when required.
ACCELERAZE KEY TO HIS SUCCESS
Within 4 years, he won his first major international piano competition. In 1981 he was the youngest participant to win first prize at the Sydney International Piano Competition and in 1987 he won the bronze medal at the legendary Concours Reine Elisabeth in Brussels. After numerous concerts in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and North America, Chia Chou was twice awarded the coveted "Echo Klassik", the European Grammy Award, in 2001 and 2008.
After being named Professor of Chamber Music at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz, Austria, he has applied these methods very successfully for his students, achieving awards and highest orchestral positions for his students.

FROM MUSIC TO SPORTS
By chance, Chia was asked in 2015 by his friend Mark, a marathon runner, for a method to help increase speed. The absolutely surprising success achieved within 15 minutes inspired him to continue research and co-found acceleraze.
Since then, he has worked with world-class athletes in the fields of running, cross country skiing, tennis, discus throwing, ultra-biking (Race across America, 4-time winner) and ski jumping.
NOW AVAILABLE FOR GOLF
Juergen met Chia at one of his Acceleraze clinics for runners. Juergen is a German entrepreneur in golf fitness and nutrition with a Masters degree in Industrial Engineering and international management careers in consulting and service industries.
Juergen instantly realized, that the different golf swings with their requirements regarding rhythm, tempo and precision are the perfect match for Chia's technique and what Accelerazors could do for the golf sport. Since "before and after" are easily measured in golf, he asked Chia to join him for a test. On the spot, Chia said yes and also agreed to jointly develop Accelerazors for golf if tests came out strong.
A simple setup of 30 subjects with the guidance of PGA golf instructors was quickly organized. And to everyone's surprise the results were amazing. Juergen & Chia agreed to team up and introduce Acceleraze not in Europe, but to the US first, the most professional, open-minded and demanding golf country in the world.

EFFICACY STUDY
PUT TO THE TEST
This methodology was recently tested in an independent efficacy study. 49 elite golf players participated with a golf handicap of 7 or better. The study was done at 6 US study centers, including the University of Houston. It was led by renowned American researchers including Dr. Fran Pirozzolo (mental coach and 4 times World Series winner with the New York Yankees) and Prof. Robert A. Bjork (distinguished research professor at UCLA).
STUDY DESIGN
Three golf skills were tested:
The chipping task was to carry the ball to a target 17 yards away, the putting task was a six foot putt from points all around a 360 degree arc, and the driving task was to carry the ball as far as possible.
Base lines were measured. Subjects were then instructed in the acceleraze technique. Subjects were then instructed to repeat the sounds silently while performing the task. Subjects were retested.
FINDINGS
At the conclusion of the five months study, highly significant differences were found between the way golfers of all ages performed.
Even with just using very basic accelerazors, driving distance and accuracy increased in minutes, more putts were made and chips ended closer to the hole.
