*Mrs Men X. Bao, our club founder of “Bao’s Lung Fei Tai Chi”, & Richard Watson, founder of “Longfei Taijiquan Association GB”, were both asked by Master Li Tianji to promote tai chi in Great Britain. Li Tianji nickname Longfei (meaning flying dragon) – so both clubs have the same “Tai Chi Family Tree” (Longfei with an ‘o’ rather than an ‘u’ is the correct translation spelling for ‘flying dragon’ so someone in the past unfortunately translated wrongly for Mrs Men Bao!)
