Moon through the trees
a place at last
for the heart to rest
If you cannot teach yourself to seek possibilities for doing good and to do good at every possible occasion, then at least do not miss a chance to do good.
– Leo Tolstoy – A Calendar of Wisdom
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform all of my fellow practitioners in the San Gabriel valley and Orange County of the passing of a very good friend and tai chi player, Robert Goodman. Robert who was a friend, teacher, counselor, and guide to many of us, passed away on Saturday, March 24th, from a heart attack. My sincerest condolences to his family.
锦城虽云乐，不如早还家。
Though the embroidered cotton city is wondrous,
’tis better to return home soon.
蜀道之难，难于上青天！侧身西望长咨嗟。
The road to Shu is hard, like climbing to the great blue sky!
Gazing towards the west in admiration, one can only sigh.

I am looking for someone who teaches from the lineage of Professor Cheng Man-Ching. I studied for years with Tom Wang here in Nashville TN, but he has moved to Michigan some years ago. Your help will be appreciated. Thank You. Randall
Try Smith Park in San Gabriel on Broadway, Saturdays 9am – Noon. Mr. Chen will not be there on the 20th, but Fred Hao, visiting from Taiwan, will be there. Master Hao will also be at Rosemead Park on Wed. and Fri. mornings from about 7:30 – 9:30 (time not exact).
Is Master Hao still going to Rosemead Park these days? Thank you very much!
Master Hao returned to Taiwan on December 1st.
Just a thought on tai chi practice; light hands lead to intricacy. Heavy hands lead to heavy hands.
Thanks, Walter. That’s good for us to remember, especially doing tui shou.
Has Chen Hsien-Yuan stopped teaching at Smith Park, San Gabriel? Can’t find him here today.
Would greatly appreciate any info on whether he’s still teaching and, if so, where.
Unfortunately, he’s not. He has invited a couple of his inside students to work with him in his home. But he’s not teaching any other students.
