The 3rd annual Salt Lake City World Taiji Boxing Association with the head of the WTBA (Eli Montaigue) has come and gone. I think this may have been the best one yet! The training was intense and the energy was through the roof! I’m sure part of it was due to going over the A side of the Large San Sau fighting form. It’s a burly, energetic form.
Every year leaves me wanting more. It’s a chance to refocus my efforts. There’s so many learning opportunities over the short time Eli visits with us that it often leaves me overwhelmed. This year is no exception. There’s lots to do. On top of it, Eli surprised me by awarding me with a Level 1 WTBA Instructor status. I am honored. With it comes much responsibility. I’m excited to start teaching in Salt Lake City and continuing on with, and adding to, the culture already established here by my friend and teacher Steven Smith (Real Taiji).
The stage is set. This page won’t be a blog, so don’t expect many updates. It will be a place for information regarding classes and will provide links to informative sites regarding the WTBA practices as well as other sites I think may be useful or fun. If you have any questions regarding classes, the World Taiji Boxing Association, Taiji (or other internal arts), or anything else you think of while visiting this site, please contact me.
