learn.”

Glorious
Summer to you all! Practicing outside is one of the best healing habits you can
acquire. Avoid direct sunlight when it’s noon and early afternoon, and drink
water.
Our Summer
schedule is outside except for rain, then we’ll be inside at the church. Taiji
classes are going to take a walk on the wild side, I mean, the right side. We'll continue refining Taiji Sword, learn four Double Saber drills, and solidify
Pushing Hands. I’m also making a push to learn a bunch more in section 3 of Sanshou, and
to work on some Solo Form applications. Xingyi will continue learning 5 Elements,
Spear, and Sticking Hands. Bagua will continue with Sensitivities, Qinna, and
Sword. That’ll keep us busy!
We are
having our retreat August 22-24 at St Croix state park. My theme is” Taiji Post
and Beyond.” You can come and camp with us or join us at the park. We have a
few spaces reserved already and we are anticipating more people than last year,
so, RSVP ASAP!

I had the
pleasure of teaching at the Twin Willows Retreat in Stroudsburg PA last month.
The weather was a little rainy, but the accommodation, food, and attendees were
fantastic! We spent around 6-8 hours a day on Taiji and related material like
sword fencing, Willow 3, Taoist games, and group practices as well as Xingyi 8
Styles form and Bagua Sensitivities. I don’t know where we will be next year,
but Bryan and I have penciled in June for another seminar or workshop, stay
tuned!

A HUGE thank
you to those amazing substitute teachers who covered my classes while I was out
East! I bow from the waist…
Blessed
Summer everyone, filled with light, fresh air, grilling, hikes, camping, and
outdoor practice. Namaste!
