Yang Tai Chi Chuan Development In Malaysia (ePub)

Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan is currently very popular and expanding throughout the world, including Malaysia. Almost all learning materials with quality information in relation to Tai Chi, in terms of text book, researches, videos and vocal teaching materials are harder to be accepted and understood by the new Beginners.

Being a Tai Chi practitioner for many years, located in Malaysia, I have experienced the learning of Tai Chi in a multi-racial environment. However, almost all books and teaching materials were written in Chinese language; Tai Chi teachers are also teaching in Chinese language. For those who are English and Malay educated pupils may face communication and language issue.

In January 2018, The New Straits Times has been very kind in helping us to promote Tai Chi for health to the general public, by publishing an article in a full edition with a series of coloured Tai Chi 16 Forms postures photographs. This has attracted many readers and public, to enquire and to enrol into the Tai Chi classes.

I take this opportunity to write this teaching material in dual language (Chinese and English), including the history of introduction of Tai Chi in Malaysia and methods of learning Tai Chi. By sharing these information to all Tai Chi enthusiast, I hope they will be happier, stronger and longevity.

Due to the limitation of my language proficiency, this publication may have insufficiency. I welcome and appreciate any form of constructive advices to improve this publication.
