We recently had the great privilege of training with one of the “four gems” from Chen Village . Chris and Annette spent two weeks with the Master on specialised training techniques, Chi Gung, Reeling Silk, Push hands, Old Frame One and 42 Fajing Form.

Master Zhu was extremely likeable and patient. He explained the different energy’s involved with each movement of your body and gave us a serious insight in to what we have been training for so many years. To pair up with the master was incredible. We talk about “iron shirt” in martial arts and that would describe Master Zhu’s body perfectly. When he released Fa Jin power you had to look at each other and just shake your head and marvel at it all.

The four masters from Chen Village are on a “training circuit” and travel the world holding seminars and workshops. Master Zhu comes to New Zealand every yearsand would highly recommend not only our students but serious Tai Chi practitioners to attend.
