Mr. Din, Shia Lun & Ruben doing a sword form at
Master Jou Tsung Hwa's Tai Chi Farm, Warwick, New York during Apple Picking Festival!
During the August moon Mr. Din took the whole Morning Tai Chi class from New York City's Chinatown to do some apple
picking and have a picknick, then on to the Tai Chi Farm for some group practice and some two man sets of sword, fan and push
hands drills. The ladybugs were everywhere! The apples were just falling off the trees.

Mr. Mui, Mr. Din and student
Just before leaving the Farm, I begged some one interpret for me to Mr. Din and Mr. Mui to please get out of the van so
I could have a photograph of us together with the barn wall and emblem of the Farm in the background. Glad I did, something
told me I would never have this opportunity again. Both Master Jou and Mr. Mui died that same year. They are missed
by all. I keep some of what Mr. Mui shared with me. If Mr. Din set up the introduction of the patterns, then Mr.
Mui showed me breaking the patterns. enough said. R. Torres

moments after pushing hands together.
The energy spirals through us, as we look on.
One day my daughter asked me: Papi what is the difference if one studies Kempo and then goes to jujitsu, or starts
with Hapkido and then to Tai chi?
I thought no matter who you study with, what art form you apply yourself to, each of us will have his/her own journey.
Enjoy the journey
