I was introduced to Wu-style Tai Chi Chuan as a child in 1977, training at the Hung Wai Tai Chi Institute (Montréal, Canada) until 1981 with Sifu Lee Man Charn, student of Grand Master Wu Tai Kwei. With the benefit of hindsight, I wished I had never stopped. In 2010, my interest in the internal arts was piqued again and I resumed training with Sifu Lee, now retired, and his senior students informally and privately. I fell into teaching Tai Chi completely unintentionally in 2017, when I was asked to assist teaching at the church attended by my sifu. A while after his passing, I had the good fortune of joining Wu's Tai Chi Chuan Academy, Toronto, in 2020 to train under its excellent instructors. As a certified instructor since 2023, I hope to continue exchanging with fellow Tai Chi practitioners, both giving and receiving, both questioning and answering.
Outside of Tai Chi, I am a professional engineer and owner of an environmental consulting company (Montréal, Canada) as well as co-owner of a licensed day home agency (Calgary, Canada). |
