Program
Program: Bing Hui, Dr. Ray Tom; and Donna Lee; Thi Chi history and demonstration
Introduced By: Liz Hull.
Liz Hull explained how she was so impressed when she first witnessed a Thi Chi class in Vancouver BC. She participated in the martial art while in law school and picked it up again about a year ago. She expects that the Club will enjoy this program.
Dr. Ray Tom explained his career as the manager of instruction for Stockton Unified SD. After his
retirement he committed himself to instructing Thi Chi and learned from some of the best. Now 81, he is handing the instructor reigns over to Bing Hui, Donna Lee, and others. Dr. Tom reviewed this history of Thi Chi and referred the audience to the table handouts. He then demonstrated the javelin (with Kuy E Ky), sword and saber as tools of this martial art. Liz, Donna and Bing then joined him for a demonstration of on of the many form series of Thi Chi movements, accompanied by beautiful relaxing music. Dr. Tom, Donna and Bing then demonstrated a form movement that utilized the sabers. Lastly, all four joined to demonstrate basic Thi Chi forms and movements; inviting the entire audience to stand and try making these movements. Dr. Tom provided the names of each movement. Out of time for the meeting, questions followed after the meeting was closed.
