TaiChiNotebook is almost ten years old! I posted the first blog entry—on 32-sword—in July 2014. I was at the beginning of my journey, studying traditional Yang and Chen style Tai Chi at a local school. I was just discovering the modern forms, starting with 24 and 32-sword, and I had begun practicing with Chinese people in my neighborhood.

Over the years I have published more than two hundred posts on more than two dozen forms, spanning four of the five major styles of tai chi. The Notebook has become an iceberg! With nine-tenths of its content buried in the archives of the blog.

I’ll continue the blog, but I have switched to the format of a website, with a static home page (still a bit sketchy!) and I am trying to build a more perspicuous structure.

Also, in 2014, smartphones were not yet ubiquitous, and TaiChiNotebook was designed primarily to be accessed from a PC or laptop. I’ll try to improve the way the Notebook renders on mobile.

These revisions will take a while… Stay tuned!
