He came to learn the sport after watching the classic Chinese movie "Tai Ji Zhang Sanfeng" in Chinese, which was translated as "Tai-Chi Master" starred by Jet Li. Hearing that the successor to the Yang School of Tai Ji Quan is teaching at the former residence of Yang Luchan who created the Yang School of Tai Ji Quan, he was eager to go there.
