2011 National Wushu Championship

On 26^th May 2011 one of my students from the Toa Payoh Taichi Group, Mr David Teo participated in the 2011 National Wushu Championship competing in the international competitive taichi routines 24-style (senior category) event, after about 4 weeks of coaching from me..

Despite having to compete against experienced participants, he managed to secure a handsome score for himself (7.88 upon10 after penalty point deduction) losing marginally to the 1^st placing and 2^nd placing whom secured 8.2something and 8.1 something respectively.

I thought he did rather well for a rookie in competiton

For an interesting recount of the competition, please read Davids article in my website.

Taichi For Energy Workshop By Dr Paul Lam

4th June & 5th June 2011 - Taichi For Energy, a new revitalizing program by Dr Paul Lam.
This program is comprised of two different taichi styles, Chen style is vigorous and complex, combining fast and slow movements with powerful spiral force. Sun style incorporates unique qigong movement with agile steping. These two seemingly contrasting styles have complementary internal energy.
Using his deep understanding of taichi principles and over 30 years of teaching experience, Dr Lam has carefully combined movements from Chen and Sun styles to produce a powerful synergy in Taichi For Energy. With regular practice and in a relatively short period of time, this program will help acquire better health and wellness, internal energy and the ability to manage stress
