Making the News (June 1993)

The Milpitas (CA) Post in an article headlined “Seniors tout benefits of T’ai Chi Chih” reflected the feelings of students in Susan Hudgen’s class at the Milpitas Senior Center. One student said that he was very skeptical, didn’t really want to take the class, but his wife insisted. Now he says, “It’s very relaxing. It really makes you feel calm and better all over. I have a lot less stress.”

“T’ai Chi Chih: An Eastern art, sans the combat” was the title given to a two column article in the San Mateo Times recently. The columnist, Al Stanbridge visited Hope Ridley’s class at the Foster City Recreation Center and developed the article which caught the essence of TCC. He also referred to Bill Moyer’s recent TV show entitled “Healing and the Mind” which apparently generated large classes for many of the area teachers. Hope keeps hoping to break into the “Lifestyle” section but each time she has an article in ends up in the sports section.
