Just wondering

Hey Chad,

I've been wondering this for a while now: Have you studied or practiced TCM in China, Taiwan, HK, or Malaysia? Can you read Mandarin? Thank you for your feedback on my posts. I really appreciate it. :smile:

No, I’ve never felt the need to go to China as the quality of my personal “tcm” teachers here in the US (Chinese, Korean and Japanese) are higher than those that I would easily find in China. This goes for my martial arts training as well - Grandmaster Gin Soon Chu is my yang style tai chi master and he is a very high level. Finding people of this caliber and the time to spend years with them is simply not feasible by going to China so I was never pulled to go that way.
