Martial Arts Research Instruction and Practice in Chen Style TaijiQuan
Home
This is a continual log of my training with Master Chen.
I began my training with Master Chen Zhonghua in June of 2003 in Arkansas. He was having a 17 day intensive session at Richard Johnson's school in Bentonville.
The following November I attended a 3 day seminar in Atlanta sponsored by David Hilburn.
The first Hunyuan World I attended was in Calgary in March, 2004. 5-6 days of great training and exposure to others learning the Chen Style Practical Method of Hong Junsheng.
Then it was back to Arkansas for another 10 days of training in the summer of 2004.
Back in Atlanta again, for Hunyuan World 2005, March - 5 days.
I was honored at this event to become a disciple of Master Chen's.
I traveled to Edmonton where I trained for 3 days at Master Chen's school.
If it's March I must be in Atlanta again for Hunyuan World 2006 - 5 days.
17 days of training in China at the new Daqingshan resort and training center near Wulian.
In October 2006 Master Chen gave a 3 day seminar on Chen applications hosted by Michael Calandra at his Dojo in New York.
May of 2007 and I'm back at Daqingshan for 2 weeks of the best training ever. Something about the group, maybe but Master Chen's teaching was clear and precise. Even now as I write this 4 months later, the impressions are strong and lasting.
March of 2008 and I'm back in Atlanta at Hunyuan World 2008. Always great, staying in the cabins surrounding the lake and main campus.
October 2009 - I just returned from a week of training in Victoria, Canada hosted by Gordon Muir. What a beautiful setting, on a like surrounded by mountains and the autumn foliage. Late October, in the great pacific northwest. Wonderfully concise training by Master Chen, connections, connections, connections
