Hi Everyone!

Welcome to our new website!  Michael and I have created this for you, our students.  We hope you visit and participate often.

As requested, we will post weekly Tai Chi Class Notes to help refresh and remind you of what we discussed and worked on in class.

We also hope you will also use the website to post your own questions to initiate discussions about tai chi related issues.

Please email us with any suggestions on what you’d like to see on our website and/or how we can improve it.

Currently, my suggestion list includes:

*Adding a calendar that can somehow include/show class schedules (not sure about this last part – will have our Webmaster (Mike) let me know if he can do this).

*Adding an Event Page/List (?)

Anyway, send us your suggestions and feedback!

Thank you!

-Mike & Nancy

Hi Everyone:

A huge “thank you” to everyone who showed up this morning and participated in our World Tai Chi Day event at Grasslawn Park in Redmond.

We started with the 18 breathing exercises, followed by the Traditional Yang Family Tai Chi Chuan Hand Form. And, I’m happy to report that during our practice the sun came out, shining brightly, warming up our bodies and lifting our spirits.

We were joined by Eric Madsen, certified instructor from the Redmond Yang Chengfu Tai Chi Chuan Center, who participated in our breathing and hand form practice.  He also showcased the 67 Movement Sword Form and the 13 Movement Saber Form.  Eric is a dedicated student of Master Yang’s as well as being a talented instructor and tai chi player.  We all saw evidence of this during the “Q&A” part of our gathering and by watching his excellent demonstration of the weapon forms.

After practice finished, a few of us had lunch together at Mandarin Chinese Buffet where we thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food and conversations.

Thank you again for contributing to this global event.  I hope this inspired your day!

-Nancy
