A Weekend with Master Wang HaiJun:
Silk Reeling and Lao Jia Yi Lu
Saturday and Sunday, June 2-3, 2007
In 1981, at the age of 9, Master Wang moved to Chen Village when his father arranged for him to live with and study with Master Chen ZhengLei. He is the the first non-Chen family student in modern times to be traditionally trained in Chen Village. He went on to study at the Wuhan Physical Culture University in 1988, and after graduation became coach of the Pingdishan Wushu Research and Study College. He later became a senior state Wushu referee, the president and head coach of Zhengzhou Wushu Research and Study College, and coach of Henan Chen ZhengLei Taiji Culture Co. Ltd. He is a senior disciple of Master Chen ZhengLei and an official lineage holder of Chen Style TaiJi (12th generation). He is featured in many of the training videos produced by Master Chen ZhengLei.
In addition to his extensive training and teaching credentials, Master Wang is an accomplished competitor and an International Champion who has won gold medals in TaiJi Quan, Sword, and push-hands. He has also won gold medals in China National competitions for Forms, Weapons and Push Hands. He has trained many Chinese and non-Chinese students who have gone on to become gold medalists.
Master Wang currently resides in England, but has developed followings of students around the world. He generously shows the principles of TaiJi, and engages in "hands-on" teaching that is very effective. He is committed to his students, making frequent trips to his various groups and establishing a system whereby "practice leaders" maintain students momentum between his visits. He is a great inspiration and gives proof of what is possible with diligent practice. We are honored and privileged to host Master Wang at this workshop.

This workshop is suitable for Tai Chi enthusiasts of all styles and experience
levels. The workshop will focus on Silk Reeling and the opportunity to learn,
review or refine the Lao Jia Yi Lu form (which includes the beginning movements
from the 18 Step “Essence” Form). This is a "foundation" workshop and future
workshops may build on the material presented here.
Chen Style TaiJi Quan (Tai Chi) is considered the source of the major styles of
Tai Chi. The founders of both Yang Style and Wu style trained at Chen Village,
then left and opened their art to the public. While those styles spread and
became popular, Chen style continued to be taught only in the Chen village and
was not as well known. Now the secret is out, and Chen TaiJi is gaining in
popularity as people discover the silk reeling exercises and coiling movements
of this style. Register soon to reserve your spot for this unique opportunity to
learn from one of the best!
