We’d like to let everybody know about an upcoming workshop in New York. Xuan Yun will be hosted by Sifu J. Teasley, who we were so impressed by at the New England Martial Arts Expo in Connecticut.

New England Chinese Martial Arts Expo
October 7, 2008I’m just back from the first annual New England Chinese Martial Arts Expo. Before I went there, I didn’t really have any idea of what it would be like, but we had a great time. What I liked the most is that when it was time for the workshops, all of the organizers changed their shirts, and ran in to work out with the other students. You could really see that the expo was born out of their love for the martial arts. I met and made friends with Shifu Teasley, from New York who has studied the Wudang martial arts, both here in the U.S. and also in China. He knew a lot of the guys who I grew up with in the martial arts school, so it was great to talk to him. I also appreciated the fact that he took many of the other workshops. In China most teachers put themselves on a pedestal, and would never work out under another teacher. It’s great that things are more down to Earth here in the U.S. 
Busy days!
October 3, 2008Hi everyone, Xuan Yun here (Julie translating). It’s been an incredibly busy month for the two of us. This month we filmed two DVD’s (Wudang Taiji Quan, and Wudang Kungfu Fundamentals). I also went to New York and participated in the NTDTV Traditional Chinese Martial Arts Competition. I came in second place, and was given a beautiful Chinese short-sword. But, the best part of the competition was driving out with friends and enjoying New York together, as well as meeting many other martial artists. We have a video montage of the making of the Taiji DVD which is also up at YouTube. Here is is!
