Happy New Year! More like Happy Epiphany! I wish you a
happy and healthy 2025 filled with wonder, magic, learning, love, health, awe,
and lots of Taiji!
Classes and curriculum will remain the same until
after our CNY celebration, then I’ll have some new studies including Willow #4,
Wudang 13 basic sword techniques, more Sanshou, Bagua Sensitivities, and Xingyi
two-person forms and training just to mention a few upcoming classes.

Thank you, Margo and Julie, for bringing this
collection to life! And I bow to all the contributors and helpers. Namaste!
I received a few requests for beginner classes. I’m
not ready to open up any classes to new students, the progress I saw last year
was amazing, so I’ll keep focusing on the current students and studies. I can refer
to you a few people who I trust to teach beginners:
Julie Cisler- Minneapolis
John Stitely- St Paul
John Feely- Stillwater
Mike Cain- Rochester
Wanda Koehler- Northfield
Paul Brennan Translation= An amazing collection of
quotes, lessons, and training ideas from some of the very best Taiji, Xingyi,
and Bagua masters of the last century, and before! This is a MUST READ!

I am beginning this year full of hope, health, and
gratitude. I am hopeful to teach and share the highest level of information I’ve
ever taught, experiencing the best health in my own body-mind-spirit, and living
full of gratitude to those who come to learn, practice, and share these amazing
arts and practices.
