http://www.capitolhilltaichi.com"Dr. Walls-Kaufman is a 19-year student of Mr. Benjamen Lo, who is a senior student of Prof. Cheng Man-ch'ing."
I have done a few seminars in Va beach with Ben Lo when it was hosted by Larry Mann in early 90's before Larry died of cancer. I bought a copy of the video. I can post the form he does up on youtube but i will probably get bitched at for doing it. maybe in a few days i will just add him doing the solo form, not instruction stuff.
like most CMC people I know David is exclusive to CMC style however i was suprised he did some staff and broadsword from another CMC guy in the area Julian Chu. They practice at Carder Rock in maryland off 495 by the Legion bridge.
the group does some warm ups, 2 rounds of 37 form, one round of sword, one round of broadsword, and one round of staff/spear. then push hands.
Julian Chu's Weekly Tai Chi Practices in Summer 2008
Location: CARDEROCK PARK, Clara Barton Parkway, MD
Schedule: Every Sunday morning, 8 a.m. to 10 a.m., June 15 through August 31, Free of Charge
Direction to Carderock Park, MD:
• From Maryland, take I-495 south toward Northern Virginia. Take Exit 41 (last exit in Maryland, prior to the American Legion Bridge) toward Carderock. This will put you on westbound Clara Barton Parkway.
• From Virginia, take I-495 north toward Maryland. Get in the extreme right lane as you cross the American Legion Bridge into Maryland. This is an exit only lane for the Clara Barton Parkway (Exit 41). Caution: The exit ramp forks very soon after you exit. Take the left fork for Carderock. This will put you on westbound Clara Barton Parkway.
Once on Clara Barton Parkway, you may note that David Taylor Model Basin is on your right (the very long building). Take the first exit off the parkway, and make a left at the top of the ramp. Go straight ahead and, after passing under the canal through the tunnel, make a left at the Park Entrance. Parking is available on both sides after the entrance. After parking, walk to the picnic pavilion.
