Hello and Welcome

你好跟歡迎 (Nǐhǎo gēn huānyíng) [Hello and welcome] to the Daoist Fighting Arts articles section.

My name is Terry, and I train and teach Chinese Internal Martial Arts of 太極拳 (Tàijíquán) [Tai Chi], 八卦掌 (Bāguàzhǎng) & 形意拳 (Xíngyìquán) in the beautiful city of Cambridge (U.K. – not Massachusetts!) Along with training and teaching these wonderful arts, I have also dabbled in a few other martial arts along the way, including; Indonesian Penchak Silat, Brazilian Capoeira, I Liq Chuan, Muay Thai, to name a few.

My intention for the articles section is to bring to you some thoughts from my martial journey, occasionally post news about events, seminars, books, or products that I think may interest you, maybe provoke some reflection, and hopefully inspire a smile. There will be musings on matters of fighting culture, physical culture, and Chinese (/ or more general Asian) culture that I feel relates or helps give a little insight into these martial arts which I am humbly try my best to share.

Maybe that’s ambitious, but any shortfall or mistakes are mine and mine alone, and my opinions are not to be taken as relating in any way to any of my teachers past or present.

I sincerely hope you enjoy the articles.

再見 (Zàijiàn) See you soon.
