Looking for a Tai Chi teacher in Central Asia in 2003, I stumbled on Martins\u00a0 website, and his resort &#8220;Here &amp; Now&#8221;\u00a0 on Koh Tao Island.<\/p>\n<p>In January 2004 I made my first trip to Thailand, and I met Martin in person. He introduced me to the short and long form Tai Chi Chuan,\u00a0 created by grand-master William C.C. Chen, and that&#8217;s\u00a0 how I became Martins\u00a0 student. Since then I&#8217;ve been going back year by year to study with him to improve the form and get more valuable instructions. Martin is a great &#8220;master teacher&#8221;, devoted to his teachings\u00a0 and\u00a0 good friend. Therefore I\u00a0 strongly recommend his teachings\u00a0 for the\u00a0 beginners and advanced Tai Chi practitioners, and I&#8217;m always looking forward to studying and seeing him again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lezniepo.canadianculture.com\/bio.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lez Niepo&#8217;s website<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hereandnow.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lez-Playing-Guitar-at-the-Opening-of-his-Paintings-Exhibition.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1758\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hereandnow.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lez-Playing-Guitar-at-the-Opening-of-his-Paintings-Exhibition.jpg\" alt=\"Lez-Playing-Guitar-at-the-Opening-of-his-Paintings-Exhibition\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hereandnow.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lez-Playing-Guitar-at-the-Opening-of-his-Paintings-Exhibition.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.hereandnow.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lez-Playing-Guitar-at-the-Opening-of-his-Paintings-Exhibition-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hereandnow.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Lez-Playing-Guitar-at-the-Opening-of-his-Paintings-Exhibition-563x422.jpg 563w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hereandnow.be\/en\/reviews\/\">Back to Reviews<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] I&#8217;m Lez Niepo, canadian artist, explorer and Qigong practitioner.
