Among other things, Juan has worked as an investment controller, internal auditor and acupuncturist.

Juan Manuel has practiced many sports since his youth including Yoga, Chi Kung as well as Japanese and Chinese martial arts. Since 2008, Juan Manuel has taught Tai Chi Chuan at numerous places, like Club Frances, and reached over 1,000 hours of teaching in 2017 alone.

He highly values the contribution of Tai Chi Chuan to the community, particularly as a health service used for the treatment of people who are diagnosed with various medical conditions. For example, he has successfully adapted classes to benefit pregnant women, people with neurological or trauma-induced diseases, elderly people, and children.

His work in health, tai chi and economy allowed him to participate in the Academic Program at the International Tai Chi Chuan Symposium in Italy in 2019. This investigation, based on health equity, suggests the integration of Tai Chi Chuan with conventional Western medicine. It offers a theoretical analysis of Tai Chi Chuan and Traditional Chinese Medicine texts about foundations and mechanism of Tai Chi Chuan and its allopathic interpretation, including examples of adapted classes for pathologies and conditions. The work also contains the results of an international opinion poll and a kinesiological study. It presents a thorough economic analysis that evaluates the profitability of such an integration.

As part of his commitment he continues to spread the message about Tai Chi at radios, conferences and in numerous newspaper articles.
