My first formal experience of Martial Arts was in 1982 when I started training in Wado-Ryu Karate. I achieved 1st Dan Black belt, entered competitions in sparring and forms. In 1995 I stumbled upon a T’ai Chi class and was hooked from the first moment, realizing the potential of T’ai Chi as a Health and Martial Art system. Trying to experience as much of the Art as possible I competed at National level in Qingda (semi-contact sparring) which I incorporate into Feng Shou (kung fu) classes.
