morning training

My day starts with morning exercise in the park beside the Fitzroy River @ 6am to honour all the people who have contributed to my skills & knowledge over the years & to collect the fresh Qi from the rising sun & circulate. Ah Keng, my taiji father often spoke of the importance of collecting the fresh Qi & his elder brother Mr Chua Joo Ban in Singapore also told me to be out there training as the sun was coming up. Mr Chua taught me jian - sword in 1988. Michael & Matthew when they returned from Qingdao in 2000 began teaching Dave & I the taiji sword forms that they'd learned in the park there. We now do 32, 42 & wudang taiji forms as part of our routine.
