Group Ball Carrying

By: Anne Lovdahl

Seal Beach, CA

The weather at a recent T’ai Chi Chih practice in Seal Beach, CA, was blustery but you can still make out the Seal Beach pier in the background as several folks Carry the Ball to the Side. Practices are held overlooking the ocean four times weekly, and we always meet onlookers interested in learning TCC. Our Saturday morning practices average over 20 people; in total, we’ve had over 50 different people join us for TCC at one point or another. Many practitioners have brought relatives and friends who’ve then returned home to take classes with locally accredited instructors. One of our regulars is leaving for the Peace Corps in April and will be continuing her practices there.
