I was first introduced to tai chi by my father, who had heard of the Association at Hongkong Street and decided to pay a visit to the school. At that time, I had thought taichi was an exercise that was only practised by the older generation. However, I had the privilege to witness Master Saw Phaik Hwa while she was instructing a class and that opened my eyes to the art of taichi.

After practicing tai chi for almost 2 years, I started to appreciate the art and see the health benefits that tai chi has brought to me. Whilst it is not easy to be able to achieve the level required by the instructors immediately, practising the art has allowed me to develop my patience and relieve the stress from work, while at the same time, building new friendships with people from different walks of life at the Association.

Under the teachings of Grand Master Eddie Wu, I hope to be able to deepen my understanding of the art and contribute to the promoting of the Wu-style tai chi chuan and the Association.
