On Thursday, August 25th, Thom Christensen from Long Island Pulse visited Water Tiger School's Beginning and Intermediate T'ai Chi class from 7:00 - 8:00 PM. To keep his experience fresh, as he prepared to write a column for the magazine, Mr. Christensen and McElroy Laoshi kept the purpose of his participation quiet. Given the 25th was the last Thursday of August, it was a Push Hands night. Aside from the usual meditation, the Push Hands class Shaolin Chin Na warm-up, and the closing T'ai Chi Qigong Breathing Set, Mr. Christensen experienced Mirror Push Hands with several partners. Here is his resulting Healthy Vain piece:

Long Island Pulse launched in August. The magazine was conceived to address the distinctive life on this Isle of Length — including our diner and restaurant culture, the wide variety of entertainment available — without the LIRR into the City, being single in Suffolk and Nassau, being gay on North and South Shores, and the very wide variety of health and wellness choices available from the boroughs to the Forks.
