“Having done martial arts for many years and moving towards my 60th birthday, I have been seeking health-related exercises. I have taken an interest in Qigong and Tai Chi Chuan. I have been practising with Sifu for over two years and have experienced a very positive impact regarding breathing, physical strength, coordination, flexibility, balance and postural alignment. Sifu's teaching methodology is clear and concise. He uses a step-by-step approach to break down each movement into building blocks. Sifu is patient and very focused on the correct execution of the forms. I am happy and thankful to have Sifu as my teacher, and I look forward to training with him for many more years.” - M.
