Ta-Lu Lollopalooza

We spent the summer classes practicing the Form and learning the basics of Ta-Lu, a two person practice. We ended the summer classes with a little celebration and a lot of Ta-Lu. It was a fun evening (and fun Saturday morning).

2025 Shen Long Day

After a long 5-year hiatus, we were excited to host Shen Long Day this spring. This celebration allows students of all levels to train together and participate in discussions and community. As we celebrate the Shen Long T’ai Chi Ch’uan Association, we share in the friendship brought about by our common interest and participation in Shen Long T’ai Chi Ch’uan. It was a wonderful afternoon–long over due.

This year we had additional reason to celebrate and that was to celebrate Ruth McGee–not to say good- bye but to say thank you!

Followed by dinner and a lot of good conversation!
