加拿大迈特•拉戈纳2001年在山东曲阜孔庙和陈中华推手。
Mat Raginat Pushing Hands with Chen Zhonghua in Qufu in 2001

迈特•拉戈纳2015年写到：
（2001）在孔子出生地挑战陈中华。试图推一座移动的山永远不是好主意。你能看到，他彻底的让我无从下手。我能说什么呢？那时我年轻，敢于大胆犯错。那也不是我最后一次犯错。 由此可鉴，陈式太极拳学生在国际推手赛一边倒的赢是有它的道理的。

Challenging Master Chen Zhonghua in Qufu, the birthplace of Confucius. Trying to push a moving mountain is never a good idea. As you can see he has completely compromised me. What can I say I was young and willing to learn by making daring mistakes. It wouldn’t be my last time. There is a reason why the Chen style Taiji guys win most of the international push hand competitions.
