Had a wonderful time at the Chinese New Year Party. There was plenty of good food and drinks. Several Tai Chi demos were performed and visitors were able to participate including, Meditation, Chi Kung, Tai Chi Forms, Push Hands, Two-person Fighting Form and Tai Chi Sword Form. Also, had a terrific musical interlude with a piano and violin performance. Looking forward to our 35th Annual Chinese New Year Party in 2013! Our next meeting will be Friday March 30, 2012 focusing on Chi Kung Healing Exercises. Hope to see you all there.

This 2012 Year of the Dragon Chinese New Year Party was a blast! Fantastic demos of chi kung and tai chi. Nicola Briggs did a sword form to music that could have been on the Broadway stage. Connected with kung fu friends and family some of whom I havent seen in months others in years! Food and drink were plentifull and delicious. Thank you Sifu Domingo for yet another great Meetup event. Looking forward to the 3/30 Chi Kung seminar and getting back to class weekly myself in this new year. Job and family have taken of course first priority, but things seem to be lightening up for me in 2012. Sincerely, Chuck Vollmoeller - A gratefull student

Each year has its own special flavor. This year was multi-cultural as well as multi-musical. Enough demos to keep it interesting, and not so many as to feel like a lecture instead of a party. Wonderful party and great way to kick-off the Year of the Dragon.

Organizer:

To improve our mental, physical, and spiritual health, we practice the art of Tai Chi.

Beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome. We invite you to join us to experience the amazing benefits of Tai Chi easily and safely.

All instruction is under Master Colon’s direct supervision with the assistance of a highly trained and experienced staff of Certified Tai Chi Instructors with extensive teaching backgrounds.

All classes are kept to a maximum of 8 students which provides an excellent student/teacher ratio and allows for individualized instruction which is our preferred teaching method.

Special one day workshops are scheduled periodically

Our school offers a full curriculum of Tai Chi classes for health and self defense, including an extensive formal Apprentice Teacher Training Program.

Most other Tai Chi classes are large groups that are taught under the "copy me" method with only a brief demonstration by the instructor and very little, if any, detail provided about the movements, benefits, cautions, etc.

We will not only give you detailed instructions to allow you to perform the movements easily, accurately and safely, but also the reasons why you should do the exercises the way we teach them. The traditional background to the movements, breathing techniques, chi energy theory, philosophy and much more information is given so that you will really feel the flowing grace and control of Tai Chi while achieving Tai Chi’s full benefits.

Master Domingo Colon began his study of Tai Chi in 1965.

Master Colon also studied physical therapy, working primarily in sports medicine, and in 1992 was certified as an Adaptive Fitness Instructor trained to teach aerobic, strength and flexibility exercises to the physically challenged.

This unique and extensive background in Tai Chi and physical therapy allows Master Colon to teach a highly effective and safe synthesis of Eastern and Western healing methods.

Master Colon is the author of “Seniors Tai Chi Workout” and “Teaching Tai Chi to Special Populations” designed to assist Tai Chi teachers in adapting Tai Chi for specific health conditions and circumstances.
