What a day we had at our 2026 World Tai Chi Day Celebration in Star, Idaho. Weather was chilly but performances were hot, as the group performed Qigong, the 24 Form, the D**g-Style Simplified Form, the Hao Form, and the D**g-Style Demonstration Form. We also had guest performances by Ladies with Fans and White Crane Tai Chi, and a grand-finale performance of the Sword Form by Grandmaster Larry Bearg.

Some people seem to grasp a principle quickly, while others struggle for months before experiencing the same understanding.
