T'ai Chi Links
Twin Cities T'ai Chi Ch'uan Studio located in St. Paul, MN. Disclosure: I'm continuing my studies here while teaching. If you want the best T'ai Chi school in the Twin Cities, and (in my humble opinion) one of the best schools in the U.S., check it out. Sifu Ray Hayward and Sifu Paul Abdella teach the entire Yang-Style T'ai Chi Ch'uan system including solo, two-person, and weapons. This school also offers classes in Pa Kua Chang, Hsing-Yi, 7-Star Praying Mantis, Eclectsis, and Liu Ho Pa Fa.
Shu-Kuang Press & Publications is the source for videos and books about the specific lineage I'm teaching and studying. An excellent resource for my students and anyone else interested in this vein of Yang-Style t'ai chi Ch'uan.
Wai-lun Choi's Internal Martial Arts out of Chicago, IL. Grandmaster Choi is the designated Grandmaster of Liu Ho Pa Fa, and a flesh-and-blood martial arts genius. He's now retired from full-time teaching, but his knowledge of fighting methods and internal power is unsurpassed.
Total T'ai Chi of Fairview, NC. Founded by Paul B. Gallagher, senior student of Master T.T. Liang and editor of Master Liang's book T'ai Chi Ch'uan for Health & Self Defense. Paul B. Gallagher is also the Author of Drawing Silk.

Datura 1.0 is the musical expression of the twisted mind of Matt Cisler. Dark electronic drones that sound like samples of subterranean prehistoric creatures. I recommend this, unless you believe that any music not created with acoustic instruments harkens the death of music. In that case, beware!
My art is currently only featured on my MySpace page. But expect another announcement when I finish building my art/illustration/design website. Coming soon.
Daniel James offers personal training using a variety of methods, and he makes house calls. You will see from the photos on his website that Daniel certainly follows his fitness training methods. He's an all-around good guy as well.
Paul R. Magee Ma.O.M., Dipl.Ac., offers acupuncture at New Light Therapy Center. Paul is also a T'ai Chi practitioner, with an excellent understanding of both arts, and a good friend. He's treated me in the past, and I'd recommend his work as very effective and professional.
