Happy New Year! 2026 is the year of Fire Horse! The official lunar year starts 2/17/2026, nevertheless, we can continue to shed our old snake skins and leap forward with care and compassion. Here’s someone doing high pat on horse intentionally. https://youtube.com/shorts/ZhkeFR24qp0?si=u1p4EN51ZWWaXePN

We are thrilled to officially announce that @Louis Carrillo has become our newest SOHMA Tai Chi Certified Instructor! Louis has long been a leader in our community, always going above and beyond to help his fellow students and instructors. Beyond our school walls, he has been a vital force in spreading Tai Chi throughout Long Beach. He has been leading at our free community classes at Heartwell Park and teaching Tai Chi at the YMCA. I even learned that he has been substitute teaching for one of our other graduates at the JCC. We are incredibly grateful to have such a high-caliber instructor and dedicated leader among our ranks. Please join us in the comments in congratulating Louis on this massive achievement! 🐉✨

Thank you for the invitation. Glad to connect with you all. I go by "Mado." I am originally from Japan and I now live/play/work in Long Beach, CA.
