I am in the process of compiling a “dictionary” of tai chi chuan, based on interviews and articles contained in over 80 issues of "Tai Chi Journal" over the past 20 years.  It will cover A -Z (a = arms, b = body, c = chi, etc).  The same format will be used to compile the forthcoming book on Grandmaster Wong’s teachings, with a revised title:  Dictionary of Tai Chi Chuan:  Lessons with Doc-Fai Wong.

On Sunday, March 28, a reading will be offered of my favorite quotes.  In addition, students will have the opportunity to ask questions on topics of interest which will no doubt be addressed in this informative compilation.  I close this second column with two of my favorites: 

“The teacher is like a guide who gives you the key to the doorway. But you have to open it and explore the other side for yourself.”

“There comes a point where the teacher you need is yourself.”
