    I started practicing Silat and Escrima in 1993, when I was 16 YO. In 2008 I switched to Tai Chi. One experience that truly led me in this direction was receiving Acupuncture from Wing Hsieh. My dream is to study Traditional Chinese Medicine in China.

    I studied with Simu in 1980. Her husband would watch the students and smile, but she did the teaching. When I was worried about doing it right and wanted more detailed cues, she said, "Don't worry, your body knows how." She was very kind, genuine, without pretense, encouraging. She made learning occur in a happy pleasant atmosphere.

    Greetings from Paris, France and thank you for this very enjoyable video. I learned these same Tai Chi and Shaolin sets with my teacher in San Jose about 20 years ago and I'm practicing them still. I also have SImmone Kuo's books and I recognised many of the photos, drawings and locations seen here.
