The Year of the Ox
January 25, 2009
____It was another Chinese New Year Celebration
with friends and family enjoying everyone's company. The event started with
an introduction by Sifu Rick on the year of the ox. The demonstration started
with a dedication cermony to Master Y.W. Chang. M.C. was done by Kristi who
did an excellent job. The demo team started with Chen Pan Ling's Tai Chi Form.
The audience was entertained first with a fan form demonstrated by Smantha.
Then, a saber form executed by Sifu Scott. Samantha, next, returned to perform
Bagua Lu Pi Chuan. Sifus Rick and Scott both demoed a praying mantis form
together while Samantha demonstrated Tang Lang Kerowen. Then, Sifu Rick and
Scott demostrated the two man staff versus staff set. This was followed by
the two man spear versus saber set performed by Sifu Rick and Samantha.Finally,
Sifus Rick and Scott demonstrated Chen Pan Ling's Hsing-I set. After
the demo, all in attendance went to inside to eat and talk about
the new year for the school.

Chinese New Year
Celebration
The Year of the Tiger
Held on February 20, 2010
Another Chinese New Year was successfully celebrated
on February 20, 2010. With new faces in the
crowd and involved on the stage, this year marked the school's move to a bigger
location. We would like to thank all of those involved that helped make this
event what it was, and with your help, we cannot wait to see what this year
will bring.
The pictures below show several participants during the annual demonstration.
In the upper left hand corner, there is a picture of the Tai Chi students
performing Chen Pan Ling Tai Chi. From left to right, there is Shawn Mitzel,
Samantha Werner, Sifu Rick Melancon, and Sifu Scott Green. In the next picture,
Shawn and Sifu Scott are preparing to perform a two man set with staffs. In
the bottom left, Samantha and Sifu Rick are in the middle of another two man
set where spear faces off against saber. Finally, there is a picture of some
of the students about to pay homage to Master Y.W. Chang.
After the excitement of the demonstration, there was food for all. Several
games and activities were enjoyed by those who came including biking, canoeing,
horse shoes, and volleyball. Fun was had by all with the exception of Sifu
Rick who was unceremoniously dumped in the water shown behind the demonstrators
below.
Of course, there were no hard feelings, and we look forward to the next new
year. Gong Xi Fa Cai!
