I'm Daniel Poon. I lived at Master Chen Xiaoxing's house in Chen Village from 2000 to 2001 and studied, at The Chen Village School of Tai Chi. Whilst there, my Tai Chi was taken to pieces and put together again from the ground up. I had the choice of studying with many masters, but I chose Chen Xiaoxing because of the clarity of his explanations, the end product of his fajin, and because he had the time and inclination to teach. Before that I studied under the auspices of my Aunt's brother, Master Wu Bin, at the Beijing Wushu Institute. Wu Bin runs the Beijing Wushu team, and one of his better known students is the film star Jet Li. While at the Beijing Wushu Institute, I was coach by Master Tian Qiutian, who is a leading Chen style Tai Chi master in Beijing. His Uncle, Tian Xiuchen was one of Chen Fake's most famous students. And before all of that, I started studying Tai Chi in 1988 in Taiwan. On return to the U.K. I studied with local masters, such as Michael Tse, and occasionally with Master Chen Xiaowang when he visited. You can contact me via the mailing list. |
