Tai Chi in Taiwan

Just back from Taiwan and the 4th World Cup Taijiquan Championship in Taoyuan, Taiwan with the Longfei Team!
A brilliant 10 days in fantastic company, training in Daan park (3 - 6h a day), seeing a little of Taipei, enjoying the hot springs in Beitou before going to Taoyuan.
Massive competition hall, nice set-up and lovely people from many countries.
And guess what? We did well!!!! Won in both group weapons forms (narrow and broadsword) and got placed as well in some solo forms....
I did not compete in push-hands but those that did had a hard time though they seem to have enjoyed it :-)
I feel so grateful to Barry and the other team members for the experience!


argh! didn't have time to go into the shop!
