Lineage:
  We practice and teach the Yang style of Taiji Quan as taught by Mr Wee Kee Jin, a student of the notable Master Huang Sheng Shyan (1910-1992). Master Huang was a senior student of Cheng Man Ching. Whether being practised as a healthy exercise or in a self defence situation, relaxation is the fundamental basis. Regardless of style, lineage or teacher, adhering to the 'Principles' as presented in the 'Classics' ensures that the Art will continue to remain true to the original and still evolve further, this is the approach Wee Kee Jin encouraged in all his students to keep in mind when training and practicing.
   
  Whilst studying under a good teacher is important, it is no guarantee of success as the results depend very much on the student’s own attitude and efforts, and Taiji skill is certainly not genetic. Even if you train under a great master, if you do not acquire their skill then your relationship to him/her is in name only. Only if you can acquire the master’s skill will your relationship be both in name and in the Art.
 
Wee Kee Jin
  Wee Kee Jin is the principal instructor at the Taijiquan School of Central Equilibrium based in Auckland New Zealand he is internationally recognised as a senior instructor of the Huang Sheng-Shyan system and is in ongoing demand by schools and associations in Europe, New Zealand and Brisbane Australia. Although only in his early fifties he has dedicated himself to Taiji for well over twenty years, with most of that professionally teaching in Singapore, where he was born, and in New Zealand where he immigrated in 1991. Twice a year Jin gives workshops in England, Holland, Germany, Austria, Norway and Denmark, plus every few months he crosses the Tasman to Brisbane, Australia. Over the southern hemisphere summer months Jin hosts visiting students from Europe, America and Australia, providing them with residential training including personalised tuition, and access to his schools’ classes. The travelling distance hasn’t deterred many from returning regularly. This is probably not just a reflection of Jin’s depth in understanding Taijiquan, but also his open and accessible teaching style.

  Considering himself a lifetime student of Taiji, Wee Kee-Jin places no importance on his gold medal in the 1989 World Cup Martial Arts Championship in Los Angeles. But he does appreciate that personally living and training with Grandmaster Huang full time for four years, was an opportunity denied to thousands of his co-students. Only four other people ever had the privilege.
   
  Wee Kee-Jin fondly reminds us that dedicated practise will get you so far, but if you don't find enjoyment in your training you will mentally resist your internal progress.
