We are excited to announce that on Monday, May 22, 2006, you will
have a very rare opportunity to experience authentic Chen Village
training with the headmaster of Chen village, Chen XiaoXing! Chen
village is recognized as the source of all the major styles of tai
chi as well as being renowned for the fighters it produces.

Chen XiaoXing lives in Chen Village and ensures the Chen family
tradition is passed on to the next generation of villagers and an
increasing number of outside visitors. Despite the influx of
visitors who come to Chen Village to train, Chen XiaoXing retains
the spirit and lifestyle of his ancestors which was focused on
family, farming and TaiJi. He rarely leaves the village, much less
China, so training with him usually requires a trip to Henan
Province in China. We are very fortunate to have this opportunity to
experience Chen Village training in Maryland! Chen XiaoXing's host
on the East Coast, Stephan Berwick of the True Tai Chi program in
Virginia, views this rare seminar at Jing Ying Institute as an
important step towards exposing this little-known, yet esteemed
master to select TaiJi enthusiasts in the USA.
