 |
John Conroy started his career in the fighting arts in 1959.
Over the next dozen years he explored a variety of martial arts. In 1968, John met
Master Gin Soon Chu, Second Disciple of Master Yeung Sau Chung, who introduced him
to Classical Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan. At the time, however, Master Chu declined to
accept new students.
John Traveled several times to Asia as he continued his studies, but he remained interested in Tai Chi Chuan, with its emphasis on activity camouflaged in inactivity, and strength hidden in softness. Then in 1971, Master Chu allowed John to become his student. In 1988, after seventeen years of intensive study, Master Chu invited John to become a "family student." John Conroy continues to study with Master Chu in Boston and is currently his only family student/disciple.
John was introduced to Yang Sau Chung
by Gin Soon Chu during a visit to Hong Kong in 1983. In 1999, John
accompanied Gin Soon Chu to Hong Kong to meet with the Yang family
again. At this time, Master Chu gave John permission to continue his
training with Yeung Ma Lee which he continues to do to this present
day. |
