Maple Ridge Taiji workshop with Master Chen 09/19/10

This workshop we had a few of out of town guests, it was a nice addition to our usual group.  We worked on Erlu (Cannon Fist), reviewed the Sword form, "Twisting the towel" excercise and Push hands. Master Chen performed an amazing Yilu & Erlu form for us. A great workshop.

Maple Ridge Taiji Workshop with Master Chen

The first Maple Ridge workshop for  2010-2011 starts tomorrow.
We will have a lot of visiting students attending the workshop, should be a great workshop!

Taiji training in Toronto

One of the advantages of being a part of Master Chen's big Taiji "family" is meeting & training with members from other places. While I was in Toronto on business  I had some spare time to meet up with Kelvin Ho from the Toronto group and we had a great workout - Yilu & push hands. On the following night I got together to train with Nick Mann, Instructor at "Practical Tai Chi" and his student Alan, it was another great night of Yilu & push hands . Theses visits were the highlight of my trip!
