Australia has a new GRTC branch in Canberra. I'd like to introduce the leader of this group for your information. He is 21 year old David McCleary. David has been training with me in Taijiquan and Chinese swordsmanship for over a year. He was one of the students attending Scott M Rodell Laoshi's latest seminars in Australia, and you'll probably meet him around these boards from time to time.

Re: Canberra Branch
Thanks Linda,
There are only myself and a couple of mates at the moment but a good start, enough people for to play with. We are all pretty keen lots of very early morning training sessions, and then in the afternoon when we can. Eventually we hope to get a more permanent venue but at the moment the park down the road is fine.
