Steve Higgins established his Tai Chi club in Kitchener in 1990. Based upon his martial arts career, his approach to these traditions always included a concern for personal self defense.
In 2011 several of his students approached him with a request that he teach them how to defend themselves with their walking sticks. Steve therefore arranged for Master Glen Doyle to visit Kitchener in 2012 and teach elements of the Doyle family's system. This has now been combined by Steve with the Irish boxing method passed down to him by his father. The result is an effective method of self defense which is also a harmonious means of exercise.Bataireacht
