So proud of this group. They scored first in the Group Form Division at the Tai Chi South Africa Open Tournament. Group Form is difficult to do, it takes a lot of training, trust in your fellow team members, and the letting go of the ego. They just gelled really well, and had a lovely calm energy about them from early on. Beautiful to watch.

Master A.K. Baynes was my laoshi from 2009 onwards, and I took over his Virgin Active classes in 2018 when he decided to semi-retire. I was incredibly saddened to hear of his passing, he always had this invincible energy about him that gave me hope he could conquer everything. Even though he had health issues for several years, I was still shocked when I received the news. Tai Chi and Qigong was his passion, and he passed that passion onto his students.

In class he often said 'The teacher opens the door, but it is up to the student to step through.' I am blessed that he set a high standard in class and pushed me to become a teacher, thereby setting me on a martial arts path.Thank you, Laoshi A.K., may your soul rest in peace, I will miss your presence in this world.

Thank you to the honorable chairman of the World Tai Chi Chuan Federation, Lai Jui-Chang, for his beautiful words on the passing of Master A.K. Baynes.

Master A.K. was a part of the federation almost from its inception, holding a Vice Chairman position for many years. He taught hundreds of students, many of them whom went on to teach both locally and abroad. Master A.K.'s passing weighs heavily on our association.
