Introductions!

[feuervogel]

Ninhao, and welcome!

I'd like to start out with introductions. You can make yours in comments or a new post, as you will.

I've been studying taiji at the Magic Tortoise School for a little over 2 years. I studied Chen style with Dr Jay from March 07-09, and I've started taking weapons with LaoMa since mid-March of this year. I'm learning the stick version of the dao broadsword form (because it's safer than using a sharp thing for a beginner ;) ) I participated in the 2-day San Shou workshop in March, and I'm doing the 4-day in May. (Even after being exhausted during the 2-day. It was pretty awesome, though.)

I'm participating in the MT school's advancement program, and I earned the red sash in January. I decided to do it after a year of study, because I wanted a focus or a framework. I'm externally motivated, and I realize it, so I need something outside to give me that motivation.

So, what style or styles do you do? What would you like to see in this community?

Will do! I'll even promote our workshop in the process ;)

I'm OK with wikipedia, especially since books on taiji are hard to find. The book I have doesn't even go into san shou, so I'm having to use the internet and the workshop page to find stuff.

I'm looking for a co-mod or two. Interested? (It's pretty quiet here, but DW isn't even out of closed beta yet, so... maybe things will pick up? I hope?)

I am interested, though I'm a bit busy right now and, as you say, the place is a bit quiet to need more than one mod. Perhaps we could return the question after about ten members or so? You might even find a better candidate!

I'm definitely looking forward to hearing more about your workshop and your club. :)
