Interesting to see a westerner practising oriental medicine. I'm not sure but it probably is same as what we called traditional Chinese medicine here.

Yes! Exactly. My national certification is in "Oriental Medicine" which means I am national board certified in Acupuncture as well as Herbs. My basic training is Traditional Chinese Medicine and I specialized in Contemporary Chinese Medicine which has its main focus in "diagnosis" through specialized Shen/Hammer Pulse System. John F. Shen family and Jeffrey Yuen family.
That's cool. I have a couple of friends in my taiji group who undergone 7 years of part time training at Chung Hwa Medical School
I have studies Taiji many years with a Shaolin Monk. It is a wonderful medicine!
That is interesting. Shaolin martial art is very different from Taiji. Wonder makes the person decide to take up Taiji.
In my experience, the Shaolin Monk I studied with had lived with the Chen family and traded Shaolin insight with the Chen taiji lineage. I was able to learn Chen family taiji lineage from him, silk brocades, tradition 24 and 72. Beautiful stuff, I was very fortunate.
Indeed, you are welcome. Not everyone get to meet someone who to both the external and internal schools.
