Grandmaster Xue Ju Jin,Qingdaol, China

Grandmaster Xue Ju Jin is my first Taiji teacher. His beautiful Taiji changed my whole life. The first time I met him was in 1987 when I worked at Ocean University of China. One morning when I was taking a walk along the beach where is not far from the campus, I saw a big crowd watching a senior leading a group of people doing Taiji. He was in white and his movement was so graceful. I was so impressed and attracted that almost right there I made my mind I will learn from him. Grandmaster Xue Ju Jin was born in Oct. 1929, Qingdao, China. He is the Deputy Director of Wu Shu Association of Qingdao and the President of Tai Ji Quan Association of Qingdao. At young age, he began to learn martial arts from the famous pugilist and one of the most outstanding Taiji masters of the time---the grandmaster Ji Yan Chang. Later he learned from Grandmaster Zhou Yong Fu, the head coach of Shangdong Province Wushu Team and one of the Chinese Top Ten Wushu Coaches. Grandmaster Xue Ju Jin has become the most known and most influential Taiji grandmaster in Qingdao City in last ten years.
