Training with Master Chen Ziqiang

Posted on by

We were delighted to have the opportunity to train with Master Chen Ziqiang in Warrington, Manchester in March 2023. It was such a privilege to train alongside him and receive guidance and correction. As teachers, we feel it is important to maintain and continue to improve our own knowledge and skills. We are always willing to be students again under expert tutelage.
