Fantastic.

Taichi AD meet-up

2010-09-22T20:11:00.002+04:00

Hi everyone.

Let's meet at Rosina Bellina, Corniche Road, near the open beach, on 25Sep2010 Sat 5:00pm. Have some coffee. Talk. Plan. Or look around and find a place and get it going.

September maybe

2010-08-04T01:11:00.001+04:00

It's been a long while.

Evi just wrote to follow up.

Maybe we can start September, when summer is gone.

Wanna give it a try?

Thanks Lina, Evi and Chris for your emails. There are 8 of us now. Although maybe only half of us have undergone some training on the 24-step taichi.

Do you think we can meet up and give it a try? Corniche? One Saturday afternoon? What do you think?

Cross hands soon

Looks like we'll be doing this taichi move together soon ...

Cross fingers now

Thanks, Craig. I'm sure you'll easily remember the forms when we start this group taichi.

Donny, stay tuned. Along the way, we might get to know an expert who will be willing to teach.

You can post a message here. You don't have to be a registered blogspot user and you don't need to have a Google account.

Anyone can post here. I mean, anyone who knows the 24-form taichi and who wants to practice it in a group setting.

Just click on the comments link below the blog entries.

Thanks, Cathy and Sadek.

Let's wait some more.

Parks along Corniche Road

2010-01-08T15:48:00.007+04:00

I passed by several parks along Corniche Road going back from Marina Mall.

There's the Corniche Park, at the water side, which requires an entrance fee, and there's a small open park at the opposite side.

There is the Family Park - a long open park, at the land side.

And next is the Lake Park - also quite long.

Hhmm ....

The 24-form Yang style tai chi chuan

2010-01-04T00:05:00.006+04:00

This, by the way, is the routine I'm referring to - the truncated version of the Yang long form. Also called simplified tai chi and Beijing 24. I studied it under Dr. Chen Qiang in the last quarter of 2007 in Dubai and kept on practicing it with his group until I left Dubai.

But first, people should find this blog

2009-12-31T22:39:00.011+04:00

I have followed the tips in Google Webmaster Tools to increase Taichi Abu Dhabi's visibility.

I'm submitting its URL to several search engines.

And I will advertise it in some forums so ....

Hello, Abu Dhabi!

Here's the idea

2009-12-31T16:49:00.007+04:00

If 5 or more Abu Dhabi residents respond to this blog . . . we discuss where and when . . . and start to regularly meet up and practice taichi or tai chi chuan or taijiquan together.

Taichi group in Abu Dhabi

2009-12-30T23:59:00.009+04:00

I've been googling for a taichi group here in Abu Dhabi for almost a week. Negative.

If you are interested in starting one, post a comment here or email me.
