Hello. I have not been on this forum for a while and had to re-register but I have great news for anybody in the San Antonio Area!

We have finally organized a push hands group!

Many of us met for the first time on World Tai Chi Day at Brackenridge Park and then a week later had our first push hands session so we are looking to get as many people interested as possible.

Time is subject to change but as of today we will meet Sundays at 3:30 at the baseball field near the big pavilion at Brackenridge park.

Feel free to contact me for more details.

All levels and styles welcome!

i will say, though, that i am not a Taiji guy, i am a Shuai Chiao guy. i might be a little weird to work out with. but i like to get beat up as well! Grin

SC energy is welcome.

Sorry to double post but just an update. We have moved from Brackenridge Park to Olmos Park near the Quarry due to overcrowding and difficulty finding parking at Brackenridge. It is still 3:30 Sundays. No group this Memorial Day weekend though. Contact me for more info.

We are meeting a Olmos park Sundays at 3:30.

Last week we had 4 people from the Chen school.

A praying mantis school joined us and then the usual core group of 4 plus 1 of my students.

An invitation has been sent to many schools in town.

We should be getting a nice mix of practitioners. Contact me for info or jus show up!

Sent the info to a good friend who does Yang taichi there. (He hasn't replied yet but hope he can make it...)

Best of luck to your group!

Hello Dmitri.

Nameer is in Brazil and will be joining us when he gets back. He is a good friend of mine and talks about his training partner "Dmitri" from Atlanta so I assume that is you!!

Chud I have my own school in SA (and have since 2002 but it is not commercial or listed in the yellow pages) and I train with any and everybody!

Hopefully with this push hands group that will be lots of new people!

I think I remember seeing your old site some time ago. You train Hung Gar, right?
Anyways, I will try to show up. I look forward to meeting everybody.
