2017 End Year Message – SM Chin Min

Dear Tai Chi friends,

We have now come to a close of our 27th year of sharing Tai Chi with our communities and many have taken the opportunity to learn new routines, refined previously learned ones and others have just enjoyed being part of a friendly and warm Tai Chi fraternity. Lately the Masters have conducted various Qigong workshops to pass on the treasures of the various Qigong routines. Ba Duan Jin, Yi Jin Jing, Wu Qin Xi and Da Wu to name a few. The Tai Chi Stick Qigong was another popular and well received routine introduced to our people in a workshop attended by 48 participants. The College is ever committed to help people achieve quality of life through these essential health Qigong and Tai Chi exercises. The stories we hear from people testify to this. There will be more coming next year! Hope you can join us.

Tai Chi and Qigong are truly health exercises yet they are indeed very recreational in nature. There is tremendous pleasure and fun doing them especially in the company of like-minded people and among friends. This explains why so many of our Celestial members have been with the college for 10 or even 20 years and more. They have enjoyed just coming together to have a great time in Tai Chi and Qigong.

To take to another level, Tai Chi and Qigong can be taken as sports where you strive for perfection and excellence. The athletic and competitive nature of these exercises is displayed as you nurture your skills and technique to be judged on a competition arena just like any other sports such as tennis or swimming. This was shown by the competitors at the annual Tai Chi and Qigong festival organised by the Wushu, Tai Chi & Qigong Association.

Irrespective of whether you take Tai Chi and Qigong as health exercises, as recreational hobby or as sports, the Celestial Tai Chi College is here to assist and support you in your endeavour. We trust that you have enjoyed this year with us and we look forward to be there for you next year.

On behalf of Grandmaster Eng Chor and the teaching team of Celestial Tai Chi College, I wish you the best to come in your life and wish you a BLESSED CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Senior Master Chin Min
