This very first event organized by l’Amicale brought together more than 60 participants coming from many different regions of Quebec (Montreal, Quebec, Haut Richelieu, Montérégie, North shore) and even from Vancouver. Even with a huge demand for participation for this activity, the organizing comity limited the number of inscriptions in order to offer each participant the maximum benefist from master’s Guo teachings.

In this priviledged set-up, Master Guo Guizhi was able to correct every participant individually in their training within the da cheng quan system such as: standing posture (zhan zhuang), trial of force (shi li), stepping (bu fa), push hands (tui shou) and fists techniques (quan fa). Well supported by the great work of the two translators, Patricia Ton and Yip Cheung, Master Guo Guizhi insisted on the fundamental training elements of da cheng quan for both martial arts and health purposes.
