We will maintain our regular time schedule for the month of June. All of the Wednesdays in June are dedicated to preparing for our Fall Demonstration. We will begin each session with stretching and I am requesting a different volunteer for each week to lead those 10-15 minute stretch times.
For the month of July we will be closed on Saturday, July 4th, Monday, July 6th, and Wednesday, July 8th, returning to regular class times for the rest of the month.
Since summer is a time of travel and vacations, we wish you a safe and enjoyable summer. If you are in town, please attend as many classes as you are able. Please let us know when you will be out of town or gone for a few weeks. We appreciate it and it helps us plan our classes better.
Remember Grandmaster Doc-Fai Wong will be here for Seminars on September 18, 19, and 20. Start saving for the seminars that you plan to attend. Be sure to tell Sifu (or an instructor) if you have any ideas for a seminar. Please to come to the banquet. We are also planning a cookout/pot luck and that will be a great time. We’ll need lots of help getting everything ready, so please volunteer to help in any way you can.
ALWAYS FEEL FREE TO CALL WITH ANY QUESTION OR CONCERNS. I VALUE YOUR INPUT.
A little contest! Each month we will be putting a "bug" in some random location on our web page. We'd like the students to find it. First person to find it wins a prize. It looks like this:
Part of the reason for this is so you get used to looking at the web page regularly. You just never know when something new will be posted. We'd also like suggestions on information you might like to see on the web page. Are there questions about tai chi you'd like us to post answers to?
Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient Chinese Martial Art that is well known for its superior health benefits and high level of effectiveness in combat. Tai Chi forms, which are performed in a slow and relaxed manner, calm the mind and release the mental and physical tensions of our modern, stressful lifestyle. Our school is directly descended from the originator of Yang Style Tai Chi through his grandson Yang Cheng-Fu.
Please call Sifu Phyllis Calph at 651-699-2863 with questions. You may also send us mail
If you call in advance, we can answer any questions you may have before you come to your first class. Of course, you can always just show up to watch a class. Everyone is welcome.
Student Creed
I intend to develop myself in a positive manner and avoid anything that would reduce my mental growth or my physical health.
I intend to develop self-discipline and respect in order to bring out the best in myself and others.
I intend to participate in class consistently, practice what I learn constructively and defensively to help myself and others, and never be abusive or offensive.
Bend and be straight,
Empty and be full,
Wear out and be new,
Have little and gain,
Have much and be confused.
