Thai Keik Australia is an organization founded in 1979 and
dedicated to teaching the entire Yang style of Tai Chi Chuan.
The current president is Sifu Wayne Hansen who has been
training in Tai Chi Chuan since 1973.
The teaching has a proud legacy: a lineage passed down from the
renowned Cheng Man-Ching (鄭曼青) to Ye Xiu Ting (葉秀挺) in
Malaysia, where it was taught to Tok Seng Gim (祝聖錦), Tan Khoon
Ang (陳君安), who instructed and taught Eric Fitzgerald, who in
turn instructed and taught Wayne Hansen.
Sifu Hansen teaches to preserve this strong and vibrant strain
of Tai Chi Chuan that flourished in the martial furnace that
was Malaysia in the 1950s and 1960s to help it grow and develop
here in Australia.
Teaching in our organization emphasizes the principles of
technically correct practice, detailed, personal instruction
and effective martial application of yielding and softness. The
health benefits of the practice flow from adherence to the
martial principles that made Tai Chi Chuan a famous art.
Interested parties are invited to contact the school to discuss
