MMTCA April Newsletter 2026

“Courage does not always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, ‘I will try again tomorrow.’” 

~Mary Anne Radmacher

 

April greetings! The sun is getting stronger, the days get longer, and the trees are budding, what great signs of Spring in Minnesota!

Our classes and schedule stay the same now until Fall, with the exception of moving outside as soon as weather permits.

Monthly Book Club is on April 6th; I’ll send an invite. We are still reading Huang’s book, with no hurry to finish. You can join or miss and still be in the club. On Patreon I’ve added a surprise with the invite…

Check out my YouTube series on Willow # 3. How to develop your own personal Pushing Hands defense. I’ve added a bonus of introducing Sword Sensitivity and Fencing using Willow # 3 as a base.

Have you read my blog? I’ve been blogging and writing there since 2013. There are a lot of articles about Taiji, and a few on spirituality and other topics. Check this article out on “sinking the ch’i.”

Monthly Zoom Pushing Hands is on Monday, April 20th. I will be on the East Coast and you will be having a special Guest Teacher, continuing with Willow #3. You’ll be getting your invitation from Julie, not me or Patreon this month.

Speaking of out East, I’ll be gone from April 15th to the 28th, classes and Zoom will be taught by my qualified and excellent Subs. Enjoy!




 

Thank you all for your support and appreciation, it truly increases value and worth to my life’s work, Taiji!

-Sifu Ray
