Documentary "The Why of Tai Chi."

Recently, Derek Croley was one of five Tai Chi Instructors to be featured on the documentary "The Why of Tai Chi" by film maker Bruce Kennedy. This documentary explores the far ranging benefits of the study of Tai Chi, the philosophy of the art, as well as it's history. This is a wonderful film for those interested in learning more about, as the title states, why you should consider learning Tai Chi. It's limited release date was 11-02-08.

Other featured instructors are Accem Scott, Larry Brown, Frank Paolillo, and Jan Gillespie.

Congratulations to the Two Newest WACIMA Vice Presidents!

I am honored to announce that Instructor Jim Green and myself have been appointed Vice Presidents of WACIMA- the Worldwide Association of Chinese Internal Martial Arts (http://www.wacima.org/) by Grand Master George Xu (http://www.mastergeorgexu.com/). This is an incredibly high honor for both of us as WACIMA is THE premier association for Chinese Internal Martial Arts.

When you get the chance I strongly recommend that you check out both of the sites. I especially like what Grand Master Xu has put up in terms of educational information.

As a side note, I also was awarded a PhD in Martial Arts Philosophy from the University of Asian Martial Arts Studies in conjunction with the US Martial Arts Hall of Fame. If you would like to get a copy of my thesis go to http://www.taichimadesimple.com/.
