I treasure every learning opportunity if I go to see Master Chen or he comes to stay with me (in Phoenix, Arizona). Unfortunately, I am such a slow learner, I won’t get sudden enlightenment. My goal of attending workshops is to learn one thing at a time. Read more

I have trained several times with Master Chen over the years now and have long accepted that he possesses a skill that is frankly light years beyond my understanding. Read more
I want to thank Michael Calandra for hosting Master Chen Zhonghua who presented an extraordinary seminar. Most interesting to me is that Master Chen never changes his form. It is the same every time I’ve seen him for the past 8 years. Within his near perfect taiji structure, what is continuously changing/improving is his technical precision. He is the living embodiment of true taiji principles. To the next 50 years together!
This is my 12th year in New York. Without exception I brought heavy snow with me (see pictures).

Preface I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Master Chen Zhonghua for his dedication to promoting Chen Taiji in the Ottawa (渥太华) area. For more than a decade, Master Chen has made regular visits to Canada’s capital, ensuring that his disciples, students, and other Taiji enthusiasts receive proper training, grasp the principles of the Practical Method, and deepen their understanding of Taoist philosophy and Chinese culture. |
