1990
I started Tai Chi in late 1990 with the Taoist Tai Chi Society of Great Britain.The founder Mr Moy Lin Chin selected me to become a teacher for the Society. I studied and taught for them for almost ten years. The Taoists taught only the health aspect of the form but no martial elements.
In late 1999 I discovered Wudang Tai Chi Chuan.. Also known as Practical Tai Chi International the head of which was Master Dan Docherty. Dan introduced me to Sifu Stephen Wooster [his most Senior Student] who became my teacher, and who I still consider to be my teacher. While continuing to study with Sifu Steve I started to teach my own classes.
2008
In 2008 my wife and I moved to Cyprus to live, I taught in Cyprus mostly on a one to one basis and, for the most part, to Martial artists from other disciplines as not many people in Cyprus had ever seen Tai Chi in action. During my time in Cyprus I had the opportunity to visit Israel and study No Dac Na [ a Vietnamese System] with its founder Sifu Ngo.
2021 to present
In late 2021 we moved to Northern Ireland and recently I have begun classes in the Ballymena area, currently in Randalstown and Martinstown.
