Students from Ji Hong Tai Chi schools competed in the 6th Pan American Wushu Championship held in Toronto July 21 – 23, 2006. The competition was fierce and Ji Hong students emerged triumphant winning Gold in 14 of the 16 Tai Chi push hands divisions. This is not a one-time achievement, but an ongoing success story since 1991 when the school was first founded.

The continued success of Ji Hong Tai Chi schools is based on its scientific training theories and methods recently published in the book “The Ji Hong Taiji System” written by Masters Hong-Yuan Luo and Jennifer Gu. The most notable achievement is when student Richard Anderson competed in Jiaozuo, China and won the world push hands title a second time in 2005.
