ABOUT MARK VAN DAM

I was born in Amsterdam on June 14 1960. I started practising Wu Shu, Simplified Tai Chi Chuan, and Qi Gong in ’89 in Amsterdam with Sifu (which means teacher) Kong Mien Ho.

In ’92, moving on to learn older Tai Chi styles and about the diversity of Martial Arts, I studied under Sifu Henny E. Eleonora. He is Founder of the Chinese Wu Shu Academy Holland , the Stichting Amsterdamse Wu Shu Akademie and Supervisor of the De Zhang Bingxin Liu He Men Federation . He gave me the consent to start teaching in ’94.

Moving to Rio de Janeiro in ’95, my first teaching experience was at the Academia Atlántico, Niterói. Living there, I had the opportunity of studying under Sifu Eduardo Jose Brandão Villar (second from left). He has studied under Master Hu of Rio de Janeiro for over twenty years.

On returning to Amsterdam in ’98, Sifu Henny introduced me to Sifu Kwong Ko, who only teaches select pupils. An old and extensive Yang Style, which I had the privilege of learning under his private tuition, is the main style being taught in the lessons.

Tai Chi and Chi Gong promote concentration, clear thinking and relieve stress. Their benefits are at the heart of health and regeneration.
