Big thanks to Shoreline Tai Chi and Chris for hosting this event again this year! Huge shout out to the judges Mark, Lance and Xia and all the competitors. Our crew had a great time and it is a wonderful opportunity to connect and re-connect with people in the local (and international this year) Tai Chi community.

Join us for a celebration of Tai Chi form, principle and application. All martial art levels and styles welcome.

Dennis’s classes start again next Tuesday through Marysville Parks and Rec, so you can go back to learning from someone infinitely more capable than me.

And if Dennis sees something in your form he doesn’t like and asks where you got it… DON'T say “Derek taught us that.” 🤣
