All of our accredited Tai Chi and Qigong instructors teach
at our school as volunteers. Officers, directors
and instructors serve without monitary compensation.
Our
school, founded by students of the late sifu Master
Moy Lin-Shin, was set up this way to make sure that
helping others and giving to others is the sole motivation
of our dedicated volunteer instructors.
Taoist Master Moy Lin-shin
Our instructors
continue their training in the Taoist Virtues and form with:
Sifu
Ben Chung
Our
senior instructors have between 14 and 20 years experience
and attend regular classes with Sifu Ben Chung a disciple
of Master Moy from 1982 to 1998, as well
as, workshops held by the
International
Association of Tai Chi and Lok Hup Academies.
Ben

until Mr. Moy's death in 1998. From 1985 to 2005, Ben was
a Tai Chi and Lokhupbafa instructor in many of the Greater
Toronto Area Taoist Tai Chi Locations. In 2006 Ben is the
founder of the International Association of Tai Chi and Lokhup
Academies, and Zhong Wen Taiji Academy located in Thornhill
to carry on the works of Master Moy.
Taoist
Master Wan Su-jian
Our instructors
train in many aspects of the Taoist arts such as Tai Chi,
Lok up, sword and Taoist Meditation and Qigong. 
Since 2002, instructors
have traveled to China each year to further their studies
in the Taoist Arts with Taoist Master Wan Su-Jian at the Chinese
Taoist Medical BaGua XunDaoGong Institute in Beijing.
In 2004 and 2006 The Michigan Tai Chi Association sponsored
Master Wan and 5 of his medical staff to visit Michigan to
share some of the Taoist Arts and techniques to our members
and the public. During these visits they lectured at
Henry Ford Hospital's Center for Integrated Medicine, as well
as gave a mini-training session to the Physical Therapists
at the center.
In
2007, Master Wan welcomed our international members and instructors
to also experience Chinese Culture and participate in traditional
Taoist arts such as meditation and qigong practices.
Twenty members and instructors traveled to Beijing where we
stayed for two weeks at the Institute.
Mrs.
Kwan
After
Mr. Kwan had a stroke, he came to Master Moy
for
help in his recovery. Mrs. Kwan also came so that she could
better help her husband. Master Moy advised her to learn tai
chi so that she could keep her good health - without good
health she could not help her husband. At that time she was
already 60 years old.
She came to see Master Moy and practiced tai chi diligently
every day. Master Moy gave her refinements of each move regularly.
He told her to feel the movement and not just do it. Eventually
she was taught how to practice tai chi expressing from the
inside and not just the external form. She was one of the
few who got instruction from Master Moy on the intricacy of
the internal arts of tai chi, lokhupbafa and Xing-I.
Mrs.
Kwan became very good in all the forms that Master Moy taught.
He asked her to teach at workshops of tai chi, lokhupbafa,
and Xing-Yi as well as tai chi sword sets. She has gained
respect from all the students.
After Master Moy passed away in 1998, she became the most
preferred teacher in the organization.
Now she is teaching independently. There is a big following
practicing tai chi, lokhupbafa, Xing-Yi and tai chi sword
sets with her every week. Her group joined International Association
of Tai Chi and Lok Hup Academies (IATLA) as an associate member
in 2011. She led the 2011 IATLA Lok Hup Week in July. Workshop
participant limit was reached within two days of the announcement.
Mrs Kwan teaches regularly at Zhong Wen Taiji Academy location
in Thornhill.
