Memories

We are building a collection of memories of our instructors and students from Chi-Arts and Hsing Chen. Photos and videos from our beginning in 1976 to fond memories today.  Past and present students are invited to send theirs in to admin@chiarts.com. The current list includes Sifu John Bracy in front of his studio in 1984, stills of Liu Xinghan and his ba gua "brother," Wang Wenguei (circa 1976), shots of beach training at the Baja training camp in the 1980s and more.
