Personal Testimonial - John Chan
Mr. John Chan will be celebrating his 97th birthday come
December 13, 2012. He is in great health and enjoys his mornings
spent with his friends at the park and coffee following. It is a boost
to his day. The following is his testimony to how LTK kept him
young and healthy.
"I did not know when I start doing this exercise twenty years
ago that I still can do it today. Of course there are some
movements that I cannot do now at 97. One of those
movement requires standing on one foot and holding
the other foot up for a count of thirteen. I manage to do
most of the 36 movements. My secret is standing next to
an 8"X8" wood column at the shelter for support if needed.
I joined the Luk Tung Kuen Exercise class when it started at San
Mateo Central Park with ten individuals in September 1993. Mrs.
Frances Chin was the instructor. The class has grown to over a
hundred members people through the years.
Luk Tung Kuen was founded by Master Ha Kinh of Hong Kong who
has visited our class at Beresford Park several times.
Luk Tung Kuen (LTK) Exercise consist of 36 movements which helps
one's breathing, keeps the body limber and the mind alert plus a
whole list of other benefits. I have been coming for 20 years, rain or
shine. I have many supportive friends, good health, still have my
marbles and enjoy life."
