“I like spring, but it is too young. I
like summer, but it is too proud. So, I like best of all autumn, because its
leaves are a little yellow, its tone mellower, its colors richer, and it s
tinged a little with sorrow and a premonition of death. Its golden richness
speaks not of the innocence of spring, nor of the power of summer, but of the
mellowness and kindly wisdom of approaching age. It knows the limitations of
life and is content.”
-Lin Yutang
Glorious October! What an amazing Fall we are having!
Although the weather is still lovely, we are taking classes back inside at St
Sahag’s beginning this month. Times and place are the same as last year:
Tuesday 6-8 St Sahag
Wednesday 630-730 Zoom
Thursday 6-8 St Sahag/Zoom
Saturday 9-11 St Sahag
We’ll be continuing with learning and refining the 3rd
Section of the Long Form, finish the 4th Section of Sanshou and
start the 5th section (the longest!), and work on Saber Fencing. For
pushing hands we’ll review the 8 Basic Methods, 5 Advanced Drills, and get prepared for
Willow #4! Bagua will be continuing with the 8 Palms, sword, deer horns, and
some sensitivities. Xingyi will be learning more of the spear, stationary 5
Elements and Lightning Hands. And Chinese New Year is coming…

The 40th Anniversary book and my pushing hands
book are both coming closer to publication. I’ll keep you posted and will hold
a book signing party when we they are available.
Speaking of party, I’m asking for volunteers to come
and help paint the Dance studio at St Sahag some Sunday afternoon in November.
Let me know if you can help and what dates work best for you.
