Halls of Happiness

I couldn't keep a Tai Chi blog without sharing. This was Cheng Man-ching's dedication to his school in its new location at the time -

" ... Let true affection and happy concourse abide in this hall. Let us here correct our past mistakes and lose preoccupation with self. With the constancy of the planets in their courses or of the dragon in his cloud-wrapped path, let us enter the land of health and ever after walk within its bounds. Let us fortify ourselves against weakness and learn to be self-reliant, without even a moment's lapse. Then our resolution will become the very air we breathe, the world we live in; then we will be as happy as a fish in crystal wasters ... "

He called this the Halls of Happiness. And this is where the name dragon cloud tai chi was born from my Sifu, Jeff Cook.
