To all Yangjai Michuan TaijiQuan practitioners.

Join us for the first European and American Taiji Gathering. These joint Yangjai Michuan Taiji Classes will be held in the Coastal Mountains of Mendocino County. We will be in the Redwoods and Wine Country of the Anderson Valley, just an hour from the Pacific Ocean.

Experience YMT from the view point of 6 noted teachers from France, Taiwan and the USA. All are excellent examples of dedication to the discovery of Taiji and will present their understanding of form, application and pushing hands. Together they have more than 200 years of training in the Yangjai Michuan Taijiquan style.

Dale Freeman, USA. He will ground us in the basic pushing hands techniques and Yang Ban Hou Style Taiji Quan.

Sabine Metzlé, France and Taiwan. She will expand our push hands skills.

Jim Carlson, USA, who will teach sword form.*

Henri Mouthon, France and Taiwan. He will share his knowledge of pushing hands with swords.*

Serge Dreyer, France and Taiwan. He will present stick form and techniques.

John Cole, from the USA as well, will offer his understanding of nei gong and qi gong.

* Henri and Jim ask you to please bring your wooden taiji swords to work on sword form, its application and sword tuishou.
