Grand
Master Chu Gin-Soon started learning T'ai-Chi Ch'uan in
1956 under Master Lai Hok-Soon in Hong Kong. He met Grand Master
Yang Shou-Chung in 1963 and has learned from him ever since. Master
Chu's experience in teaching T'ai-Chi Ch'uan in this country has
been very rewarding. He noted that people here are very practical.
Many are interested in the health aspect while others are interested
in the self-defense aspect of the art. For the health pursuer who
cannot read the abundant Chinese literature on the subject, Master
Chu always urges them to consult the numerous articles and books
available in the English language, such as "T'ai-Chi for Health"
by Edward Maisel, who has been the Director of the American Physical
Fitness Research Institute and Consultant to the President's Council
on Physical Fitness. For the self-defense enthusiasts, Master Chu
certainly makes his point very clear by repelling powerful bodies
bigger than himself across the room with graceful movements and
lightning speed. He supervises his classes personally with the assistance
of his
teaching staff.
