Married, 2 children. Living in Luxembourg since 1990.<\/p>\n<p>I have been interested in the traditional Chinese martial arts from an early age. For this reason, I started learning Taekwondo\u00a0in the &#8217;80s under the leadership of Mr. Willi Kloss (9th Dan) and\u00a0 practiced it regularly.<\/p>\n<p>As the Chinese arts were always on my mind I started searching for a trainer in Luxembourg who was teaching the arts. So in 1994 I started to learn Northern Shaolin-style Kung Fu under the leadership of Mr. Kim Hong Jin.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time I wanted to learn more about the inner martial arts and their positive health aspects. During my search I met <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=g8MuqRmVgDI\" target=\"_blank\">Prof. Sui Qingbo and Ms. Du Hong<\/a>, and under their direction I completed the training as Qi Gong teacher in 1998. At that time Mr. Sui and Ms. Du did not offer a separate Taijiquan training, so Yang Taijiquan and Liu He Ba Fa were also included in my training program. Since successfully passing the exam I&#8217;ve become an official teacher of the &#8222;International LaoShan Center&#8220; (now &#8222;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.laoshanunion.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">LAOSHAN UNION<\/a>&#8222;). I still participate in educational courses there on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1999 I have been teaching the traditional Chinese movement and health arts in Luxembourg (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RvvIrfnj9gk\" target=\"_blank\">story about me on RTL<\/a>), both in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.taiji-qigong.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">weekly group classes as well as in private lessons<\/a>. Additionally I am also teaching the Chinese movement arts in nursing homes and at the European Parliament, and I&#8217;ve held courses at events and in schools.<\/p>\n<p>In 2008 I began my instructor training in Chen Shi Taijiquan Xiaojia led by head instructor Dietmar Stubenbaum and I successfully completed it in 2011. Since then I am one of the teachers of the &#8222;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chen-taijiquan.org\/de\/\" target=\"_blank\">International Society of Chen Taijiquan<\/a>&#8222;. I maintain close contact with Mr Stubenbaum and regularly visit his seminars.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have taken trips to China to train with the Chinese masters Chen Peishan and Chen Peiju<\/li>\n<li>I&#8217;m on the Committee, and also the youth director, of the &#8222;Society for the Study and practice of Chen Clan Taijiquan&#8220;<\/li>\n<li>I am on the Committee of the &#8222;International Society of Chen Taijiquan&#8220;, whose director for Luxembourg I am since 2015.<\/li>\n<li>In January 2009, I attended a training at the University Hospital in Dusseldorf, on the subject &#8222;mirror therapy and mental imagery&#8220;
