The story.
In the early eighties, Tachi Qigong 18 styles was the most popular Taichi & Qigong exercise among the Chinese community in Malaysia. This exercise was originated from Mainland China but popularized by the Indonesian Chinese.
On August 1986. The then Parish Priest Rev. Fr. Henriot gave the permission allowing me to start Holy Family Taichi Qigong Exercise Group which also open to non-Christians' participation. (Fr. Henriot suffered a stroke ten days ago. He is recuperating in Assunta Hospital,P.J.Able to move limbs but unable to speak)
The main objectives of the group were and still are : 1) to promote Taichi Qigong exercise for good health and well being, 2) To foster friendship and understanding among parishioners, and with Kajang non-Christian community.
It charged no fee and solicited no money. All it needed were an open space and a plug point for a small cassette/CD player for exercise music.
The car park of the church was the most suitable place. And on this car park, we have been through 25 years, or 7800 happy exercise days, building up health and friendship, happiness and comradeship!
As part of the anniversary celebrations, we organized an outing to Gua Tempurung and Kuala Sepetang water chalet on Nov. 17th & 18th.
Gua Tempurung (Coconut shell caves) is the largest cave in Peninsular Malaysia. It is located near Gopeng town, which is about 25 km from Ipoh.
About 30 of us, age ranges from 3 to 73 years old, picked the two and a half hour guided tour which led us 64o steps up to the "top of the world" formation and another 200 plus steps down to the underground river adventure. Other with medical condition chose the easier half an hour tour.
It is a magnificent cave system comparable with Mulu Caves. I really enjoyed the tour. (see pictures in Facebook and video in Youtube)
故事内容。
在八十年代，『太极气功十八式』在本地非常大流行。这项由中国林厚省气功师傅发明的太极气功混合运动，却在印尼宣起了一阵旋风，风靡全国，然后从印尼传到了马来西亚。
这太极气功运动非常简易，但疗效非常的好，得到许多人的见证。
一九八六年的八月，在得到当时的本堂主任夏理和神父的允准之下，我就成立了加影圣家堂太极气功班，也同时开放给非教友朋友参加。(夏神父十天前脑中风，目前在八打灵亚松大医院康复。四肢能移动，但不能说话）。
这组织的主要目的是：1. 推动太极气功十八式，鼓励教友练习强身健体，保持健康。2. 促进教友们之间，以及教友与非教友团体间的友谊及共融。这宗旨到目前为止仍然保持不变，但可惜的是参与教友从大多数，已经跌到了不到十五巴仙，不过共融及联谊的精神，却与日并进。
加影圣家太极班不受任何费用，也不募收任何捐献。它只需要一块空地及一个电源插座，以播放运动音乐使用。加影教堂的停车场是最适合的地方了。
就在这停车场上，我们渡过了25载的寒暑，或7800天，用于锻炼健康的身体及稳固的友谊，喜乐及伙伴之情。
为庆祝成立25年，在17及18日，我们举办了椰壳洞 -十八丁旅游。
椰壳洞是西马最大的洞穴，坐落在霹雳州的务边(Gopeng)，离开怡保大约25公里，交通非常的方便。
我们一行大约30人，选择两个半小时，有向导带领的山洞游。其他健康有状况或行动不便者，则选择简单的半个小时游。
椰壳洞的确是非常大壮观，可以和姆鲁山洞比美，我非常的喜欢此游。（可看Facebook照片及Youtube 录影）
