My study in Tai Chi began in 1984 when a friend told me of
a woman who was teaching Tai Chi in the city where I lived.
My friend was very enthusiastic, so I had to go there and see what all the fuss was about.
I went, and ever since then I've been hooked on Tai Chi! Not only was I hooked on
Tai Chi, but also on the teacher I met there! Shabab was teaching this class
and in January 1985 we started
dating and by August of that same year we were married! We are still very much in love
and now we enjoy teaching Tai Chi together.
The first time I worked with San Gee Tam was in January 1985. I have been attending his workshops ever since as I have found them both invaluable and enjoyable. I participated in a professional Tai Chi training program in Belgium from 1991 to '93. San Gee instructed us in a level of the Small Circle Internal Power form.
I started teaching Tai Chi in September, 1989, and, beginning with a small group of dedicated students, the school has successfully grown to more than 40 students here in Utrecht. I am also honoured to be the Chief Instructor of Golden Flower Tai Chi in The Netherlands which includes responsibility to lead and arrange workshops in the Golden Flower system. I work together with the other members of the association in our country to create a harmonious and productive group where the quality of Tai Chi can flourish and develop. I look forward to meeting and working with you all!
