I've had the pleasure of Training with
Master Lau Kim Hong on a number of occasions and it has always been a pleasure. He is a wealth of Tai-Chi knowledge and sets an example to all of us in his constant enthusiasm, inquiry and practice which sees no sign of waining even though he must be now into his mid to late 70's.
For a full bio click here go to the Zhong-Ding website.
These are 3 short videos of him teaching some of my contemporaries from Zhong-Ding in Malaysia earlier this year:

I like this guys stuff on Youtube, the application is a little contrivied but you can see in this and his other videos that he has amazing body mechanics, plus when you compare his size to that ot the students he's practising with it's pretty impressive.
Though it may be hard to understand how he can get the guy to fly through the air with seemingly little effort he's not using any mystical energy, Tai-Chi practice builds plyometric strength that gives: "The
ability to convert
strength to speed in
a very short time allows for athletic movements
beyond what
raw strength will allow"

Welcome to the blog of Adam Lammiman. I teach Tai-Chi in the Minehead area of West Somerset, I'm also a yoga teacher with the British Wheel of yoga, practicing in a style heavily influenced by the teaching of Vanda Scaravelli and finally I'm qualified in Hollistic Massage with the Bristol School of Massage and Bodywork a member of the MTI. The aim of this blog is share my passion for Tai-Chi, Martial Arts, Yoga and Bodywork. This will include links to stuff I think people will find interesting as well as my own writing. I did keep an earlier blog here: http://www.donotthinkofablueelephant.co.uk/ but I've let that fall by the wayside. Feel free to have a look around there though some of my opinions have changed (which they tend to do if you keep growing) but I still like some of the content. |
