MMTCA April Newsletter 2022


To-Di ceremony in Taiwan


 "Our great danger in this life is not that we aim too high and fail, but that we aim too low and succeed."

-Rollo Tomassi

April showers brings April snow! Sometimes, here in Minnesota.

Thank you to my subs for covering classes while I was out East. Thank you Fred, Julie, Matt B, and John S!!!

I taught two seminars in Delaware, one with Simu Diane Cannon with Ming Tao Tai-Chi, and one with Sifu Bryan Davis with Twin Willows Tai-Chi. It was so much fun and we covered a LOT of material.

I'm looking at the sky and as soon as the weather is a little more predictable, we'll move classes outside and I'll expand the curriculum. I'm also retaining the churches as bad weather alternatives for now. More info coming.

I reached 500 subscribers on YouTube! Thank you to all who subscribed! If you haven't yet, please subscribe.

Also check out my Patreon page. Lots of information and lessons are available there. You can also support me and my art by joining.

Book Suggestion= Drawing Silk by Master Paul Gallagher ( a must read for my students!)

World Tai-Chi Day is April 30th. I'll be doing Tai-Chi with class and on my own. If you do Tai-Chi that day take a picture and send it to me please!


Thank you all and keep practicing!
