I started corresponding with Master Erle in the middle 1990's and had the great honor of finally meeting and training with this legend in 1999, and continue doing so until today. Master Erle must be one of the most humble, gentle and kind Martial Artists i have ever met and associated with. I am privileged by being personally certified by Master Erle and being appointed as the South African representative for his World Taiji Boxing Association.

My first exposure to Tai Chi was thanks to Sifu Winkin Leong. I also trained and assisted Sifu Winkin at his Robertsham and Wits University training groups. I was later asked to take over the Wits University training group. It was thanks to Sifu Winkin that my Tai Chi was taken to a new level by introducing me to Sifu Eddie Jardine. I will forever be grateful to Sifu Winkin for his knowledge, guidance and positive influence.
