Martial Arts and Cycling

Edit: the Tai Chi I took was from a teacher who fought/sparred in it. We learned the exercises you see folks doing, and then learned how they could be used as blocks and such during sparring. Our instructor did a demo Tai Chi fight with his instructor, and it was like watching snakes fighting! It was so cool! If I could find a TC instructor like that again, I'd take it again.

You're up in Seattle, right? An online acquaintance of mine just moved away from there but I know she is heavily into daiji and wushu and would probably be able to recommend a good teacher. I can ask her who, if you like.

Yes, please! That would be great! Thanks!

Yes, please! That would be great! Thanks!

OK, here's what she gave me:

My master's school page is http://www.yijiaowushu.com/ -- she's fabulous. Things are a little weird because she's just about to have a kid, but for Taiji she is just incredible.

One of my Chen classmates is also a Wushu instructor through Hong Shifu's lineage. Her school (one of them, she also teaches kajukempo) is http://seattlewushucenter.com/default.aspx . In fact, my little sister is on the main page... Rusty's a fabulous teacher. Depends a bit on what she's looking for.
