“Knowledge can be
communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, be fortified by it, do
wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.”
- Hermann Hesse
Our schedule remains the
same for March, but with this exception. I will only hold one zoom
pushing-hands class this month. Monday, March 20th, 6:30-7:30, we’ll
go over The Brush Knee etude.
August 25_ 28th Summer Tai-Chi Retreat at Wild
Rice Retreat Center in Bayfield WI.
The cost is 900.00 per person. That includes instruction and
presentations, 2 meals a day, room and lodging, use of the facilities and sauna,
for three nights and two and a half days. We’ll do a long practice each day,
have free time to hike and explore, and have sessions on:
-Solo Form Updates, Review, and Refinement.
-Applications for the 2nd Section.
-2 Advanced Pushing-Hands Drills: Willow #2, and Short
Power.
-Two-Person Cane Form.
-Pa-Kua two-person form.
The center is a short walk, on a wooded trail along Lake
Superior, to downtown Bayfield. I will also have programs and presentations for
the evenings. I need a deposit (refundable) of 300 dollars by May 1st.
If we have enough people to make this a go, I’ll expect the balance by August 1st.
I’ll be arranging rides for the out-of-town people and will coordinate carpools
for the locals.

Paul Brennen has done an amazing job translating Chinese
Martial Arts books into English. Each newsletter, I’m going to suggest a book
either by one of Master Liang’s teachers, or Master Choi’s teachers, or authors
in our direct lineage and martial arts family. This month’s suggestion is a
book by Shi Diao-mei. Shi was one of Master Liang’s teachers in Taiwan. Shi was
a student of Tian Sou-lin and the classmate of Chen Yen-ling (Yearning K. Chen).
( I have Master Liang’s signed copy)
