Michael first met his teacher, Dr Lin Feng-Chao from Taiwan, in 1992 when he sought treatment for a chronic back condition. Dr Lin was able to cure his ailments and within a month he was able to walk normally.
Dr Lin is a Tai Chi Grand Master and studied Classical Chinese Medicine and Tai Chi under professor Cheng Man-Jing ( famous as a 'Master of Five Excellences' namely Chinese medicine, T'ai Chi Ch'uan, calligraphy, painting and poetry ). In 1993 Dr Lin began to teach Chinese Medicine as taught to him by Cheng Man-Jing and in keeping with the classical tradition.
Michael has been studying with Dr Lin continually since this time and although he qualified in 1996, he continues his studies and research under the guidance of Dr Lin.
