For several years he learned from everyone who had something to share related to Martial Arts, Chinese Medicine and Daoist Practices. In 2006 he bought a one way ticket to China and returned to Canada three years later with a new style of Tai Chi and a completely new understanding of the internal arts. He has taught 5 year olds up to the current record holder of a spritely 98 years old and he loves doing it.  He is a firm believer that these practices can enhance literally every aspect of your life in frequently surprising ways and very much looks forward to teaching his two year old daughter to be his teaching assistant in a few years time.
