Seacoast Tai Chi Kung Fu

this may be a case of "open mouth, insert foot" here, but has anyone heard of Tai Chi Day?

 supposedly last friday of april, heard about it from an instructor here where i'm now living.  it sounded special, not sure if it was a national type event, but if it is for real and i'm not crazy, it might be worth making the trip back up for some time to celebrate together.

 also, btw, i dont think americans know how to teach tai chi - maybe it's just that qigong is not the same as what Jon teaches. anyway...what do you guys/girls think?

just a point about the multimedia section, also did anyone else have trouble viewing the youtube videos lately? all 3 of those say "removed by user" or something to that effect.

You're right, the videos did get removed. They were linked directly from YouTube and had been uploaded by one of John's old students. Apparently he decided he did not want them there anymore. John may have the originals, I don't know but I'll ask.

As for Tai Chi day I have not heard of it but a lot of China is regional. The Chinese New Year was last month so maybe it's a spin on that. I'll ask John about that too.

Hope all is well,

Jim

BTW the bear holding shark thing always freaking kills me....

isnt it great?

 it makes me think it's some super special position or move that i should learn

Yea there's a "Tai Chi" Day in April every year....I believe in Boston, not sure I'll have to find the website link for you guys & I'll post it separate. 

Last I knew, John was planning on bringing the class to this years event!!! Not sure if that's changed, it has been awhile since I've talked to Laoshi about it. Not to mention it's been awhile since I have even been able to attend a class....  It'll change soon though!!! I have a new (old) vehicle that I just got on the road today!!! WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!!! Granted needs some work, but I'll be back to class in no time flat!!
