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.
Many students performed Practical Method Yilus in form competition on DQS, including one from Rizhao. Below are the miniclips from my iPod, full video coming soon.
