It is very important to respect the elder generation masters of the Chinese martial arts family. People say, "One should never forget who made a well when drinking the water." Learning respect is the first lesson in any martial arts class. Only if you can do it well, do you have a chance to inherit high level skills. Do not underestimate the accomplishments of the older generation and do not forget the source of your knowledge. This traditional and fundamental form of respect has made it possible for a valuable art to survive.

Here we present some pictures of the elder generation masters in our group. In time, we hope we can find more photos to update this gallery.

 

 

Taiji Quan
