SATURDAY TAIJI GROUP AT TOA PAYOH PARK

The uniqueness of this group is the closeness and bond formed among the members. 
They meet weekly an-hour-plus before class commences to rehearse and stay an-hour-plus after class for makan-kechil & friendly discourse at the Kopitiam.
Apart from the weekly supervised training, the group initiate meet-to-practice sessions at their condos, reservoir parks, botanical gardens & resort chalets to hone in their practice of taichi.

这是星期六大巴窑公园的太极班。非常特别的一班。从两年半前的完全陌生到今天的相知相惜。
每个星期六的正规课前,这群朋友会提早一个小时自己练习,互相切磋,课后就相约去喝咖啡聊天。除此之外, 他们会相约去不同的住处,公园,蓄水池等额外练习。
时不时,他们也会一起出国, 到邻近国家来个太极静休之旅,再把旅程拍摄成专辑。
今天这小组的团结,我要特别感谢David Teo,一个很有魅力的组长,不遗余力的付出,让大家找到太极的归宿。

Preparing Pandan Chicken at the Retreat

Interestingly, this group have also organised a few travel-cum-taichi retreats to not so far away places like Bintan, Malacca and Cameron Highlands. In all these retreats, photo-movies (DVD) capturing their unforgettable journeys in taichi were burnt for participants. You should see the amazing movies made by this group to know what I mean.                                                                                                                       
 

Anyone keen to learn taichi & need a support group to help them in their journey in taichi will find this group unusually supportive & enriching.
My greatest appreciatio to the charismatic group leader David Teo whose passion and devotion has bonded the friendship.
