You guys open to a newbie?

I know Lee Scheele's group is always open to newcomers (high or low skill levels):

The Santa Monica group is also open to newcomers, and has a combined experience level that is a bit 'younger'

I'm going to swing by the ILQ group in Long Beach this Saturday for a visit, I can't speak for the organizers, but you might ask muttaqi if you can visit.

Anyone's welcome to drop by what we got going on in Long Beach, regardless of skill level. And though not specifically a "push hands" meetup, always open for it.

Sean, thanks for driving up to my neck of the woods this weekend, and I'm glad we're going to have chances to play more.

Great to finally meet and play with the experienced and challenging muttaqi!

Joey is a big boy and not afraid to play a little rough. you should have a good time.

Joey had a great time with Lee and I and cooks a mean curry!

Had to chime in and say how great it was to run into muttaqi at the OCMA meetup at California Martial Arts this past weekend.

Always a challenge and he makes me break a mean sweat!

I'll try to make it down south more often and play!
