Master Chen Zhonghua’s full time courses run for three to six months each year. These courses offer complete instruction in the Chen Style Taijiquan Practical Method system and basic Hunyuan Taiji courses.

In May of 2011 I travelled to Daqingshan for the third time; my earlier visits took place in 2007 and 2009. The purpose of this trip was to receive further instruction from my Master, Chen Zhonghua, and to offer him my support by taking part in the First International Hong Junsheng Taijiquan Seminar and Competition. While commitments back in Canada meant that this trip was shorter than previous ones, I feel I learned a great deal from this visit. Read more

Steve and Chad from Victoria Island.
This shows the importance of preparation, if Steve has arrived a week before instead of the day before, his body would be more open in the fight.
Master Chen corrected Levi: “You went down, don’t do that” Fetch water is a stretch on the front leg, not moving down.
Gino is the only student doing weapon form, Steve Chan was planning to, but his peeling toe nail is still bothering him.

Full Time training is starting in Daqingshan, China and a more perfect exotic location and experience is hard to imagine. Why train Full Time in Edmonton this Fall from September 5 to December 5, 2011 then?
The Edmonton Advantage is that you will receive training from two Master’s : Chen Zhonghua and Allan Belsheim. As has been proven with this particular combination in Summer 2008 and in the Fall Program in 2010, those participating made the most progress of any of the Full Time Programs offered. These two Masters work perfectly together to provide the best possible transfer of real Taiji to the practitioner. Whether you are a beginner or have previous experience, you will be guaranteed to make great progress. Read more
