A couple of weeks ago, I fielded a few questions about Yang style history during my Tai-Chi instructors' course in Irvine. Just now, goofing around on Wikipedia, I happened to find a great article.

Please keep in mind that history has different interpretations, depending on your personal perspective, so I don't necessarily agree with all of this, however, I do think it to be worth reading.

Chinese New Year celebrations
Students,
On Saturday at the Tai-Chi class, we stumbled onto a great idea for this upcoming Chinese New Year celebrations. The Year of the Ox begins on January 26, 2009, which puts it very close to the weekend of the 24th.
Instead of going to a restaurant and doing all the "usual" stuff, we figured that it'd be a lot of fun to simply get together after Tai-Chi, crack open a few drinks, order some Chinese food (or whatever food), and watch 2 Chinese sword-based movies: Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Jet Li's Hero.
We'll train 'til 10:30am, then just head over to a place (yet to be determined) with a big enough screen & DVD player, then just hang, eat, & enjoy each others' company until the 2 movies are over.
Who's in?
