The journal pages also include a number of pictures from his time with Master Wang and numerous illustrations and artwork by the artist Holly Leavy, who’s work has appeared extensively in the pages of the AYMTA journal.
Below is a short note about Mark and his taiji journey.
Mark lives in Taipei with his wife Wendy. He began practicing Yang and Wu style T’ai Chi in New York in 1978, but was soon off to Asia to look for a teacher.
After spending some time in India he set off for Taiwan where in late 1982 he began studying with Master Wang. He has taught Yangjia Michuan here in Taipei, as well in Germany and in the U.S and he presently continues researching, practicing and teaching Yang Jia Michuan Tai Chi Chuan.
