Biography of Master Stephen Hwa

In 1974, Stephen Hwa took his first Tai Chi class with Grand Master Young Wabu, a student of legendary master Wu Chien Chuan. Impressed by Young's teaching and what Tai Chi could offer, Hwa made Tai Chi a part of his life and began his avid study of the discipline. In addition to learning from Young Wabu, he also participated in classes taught by Young's daughter, Master Sonia Young.

Master Hwa became fascinated with the underlying principles that unified Tai Chi's seemingly complex movements. He has distilled the knowledge he gained into the fundamental principles of Classical Tai Chi with its unifying principle of Internal Discipline.

Master Hwa teaches Classical Tai Chi via his tapes to hundreds of students worldwide. He has taught at the University of Buffalo and also leads Tai Chi classes at USA Karate in Fairport, New York. More info about Classical Tai Chi: www.classicaltaichi.com

In this lecture, Master Stephen Hwa will lead you through the philosophies and applications inherent in classical tai chi. You will have the opportunity to try out or observe the connections between philosophical ideas and actual movements and concepts in tai chi.
