The Celestial Tai Chi College was honoured to be asked to perform at the opening of the 4th International Martial Arts Games. The Games were held in Tallinn, Estonia during 24-27 February 2011 with 17 countries participating. Grand Master Eng Chor Khor and 3 others from the Celestial Tai Chi College performed the "Bejing 24" routine - watch . Grand Master Eng Chor Khor is on the IMGC (International Martial Arts Game Committee) Executive Board and has led delegations of students and Instructors from all Martial Arts Organizations in Australia, including the Celestial Tai Chi College to this event.
In 2009 the event was held in Pyongyang, North Korea and was attended by delegations from all over the world and the College. Grand Master Eng Chor Khor also led an Australian delegation consisting of members of the Australian National Martial Art Games Committee to these Games. Many of the Australian delegates were from the Celestial Tai Chi College and, led by Grand Master Eng Chor Khor, they participated in a demonstration of Tai Chi Chen for all the officials and martial art enthusiasts attending. The IMGC “Martial Arts World” (No.7, Issue 3, 2009) states that the Australian delegation “took part in the demonstration to show the elegant movements of Tai Qi Chen, which attracted most popularity with resonant applauses.” The IMGC is based on the concept and model of the IOC (International Olympics Committee). Its President is Professor Chang Ung who is also the member delegate of the IOC for DPR Korea. With his vision and wise leadership, the IMGC has evolved to be an International body of all martial arts. Grand Master Eng Chor Khor has participated in this International martial arts body and movement since 2006 and is now an Executive Board Member of the IMGC, and is President of the NMGC (National Martial Arts Committee) Australia. |
