Kuo Shu Tournament Medals Won and Lessons Learned

The entire Body Balance Academy team thanks our friends, parents and fellow students for your support of our trip to the US International Kuo Shu Tournament in Baltimore this summer.

Body Balance was represented by more competitors than ever before, thanks to successful fund raising efforts of the leadership team and the dedication of Kung Fu and Tai Chi students.

Check our Facebook page for posts of photos and videos from the weekend festivities and competitions.

We are still adjusting the final medal count to be completely accurate. Suffice it to say that many medals were won in Kung Fu events by most members of the team. We will post a final tally once we are confident of the count.

Meanwhile, enjoy this compilation video of opening ceremonies and competition events from Saturday recorded by Ron Haennelt (Brian's dad).

Tai Chi comes from Wu Chi












Tai Chi 
comes from
Wu Chi
and is the mother of Yin and Yang.

In motion it separates;
in stillness they fuse.

It is not excessive or deficient;
accordingly when it bends,
it then straightens.

--T'ai Chi Chuan Lun by Wang Tsung-yueh
