Chris began learning Chen Hunyun Chen Taijiquan in 1998 with Yau-Sun Tong in Halifax N.S. 

In the year 2000, he took up learning with Liang Shou-Yu. During that period, He was certified By Liang Shou-Yu to teach the Yang style 24 posture international standardized form, 32 posture Yang style standardized long sword form, basic push hands, and the 48 posture mixed style standardized form. 

In April 2020, Chris began training in traditional Chen Family Taijiquan Gongfu Frame with senior western disciple of Chen Yu, Marin Spivack.

In 2022, Chris took the traditional baishi tea ceremony to become one of Marin’s Tudi (in door student/disciple), and is now a 21st generation practitioner of the wonderful traditional and original form of Taijiquan.

Chris is very grateful to be able to practice this great art and is very keen to share its deep benefits through The Sunshine Coast Chen Zhaokui Taijiquan Association
