Shifu Liu Quanjun in 2023

← Journal

2023 was a full year of teaching for Shifu Liu Quanjun at Taiji Circle Lucky Dragon. This photo page from November 2023 gathered moments from that year: outdoors in the park, in the hall, and in the Chinese Medicine workshops.

Shifu Liu ran many busy workshops and classes that year. There were free Taiji and Qigong sessions in the park. He taught students a new Qigong practice, Jiu Jiu Qigong, for health and wellbeing. Chen Taijiquan continued too, including the weapons routines and Da Bei Qigong, traditionally practised for healing. Throughout, he gave the all-important postural corrections.
