When did you form the Tai Chi & Chi Kung Institute?
I began the Tai Chi Academy in 1985. In 1988, I renamed it to the Tai Chi & Chi Kung Academy, with associates in Western Australia, Victoria and the ACT for the purpose of teaching official and traditional sets from China. In 1993, it was renamed to the Tai Chi & Chi Kung Institute of Australia to differentiate it from any other organization and to better reflect the ideals of the organization.
