Dear Hwa Yu Friends
Last year I discovered a clip of Master Li doing the first few
movements of Part 1 of the Hwa Yu form. It's on YouTube. After more
web surfing I discovered the predecessor of this group which was then
moderated by Erik Mathiesen. Erik is a Tai Chi teacher in Copenhagen.
Erik told me that he had dvd copies of the entire film and he
graciously offered to send me one. Needless to say, the
expectation of viewing this film was exciting for our small community
of Hwa Yu students in Montpelier, Vermont taught by Ellie Hayes, a
student and one-time teaching assistant of Master Li. Ellie had seen
the film many years ago and was very excited to have access to a
copy.
Unfortunately the video never arrived and I seemed to have lost
contact with Erik. I have emailed him at the following address
several times without a reply. (erikabelcat@...) I'm guessing
that he forgot about the request and by the time I checked in with
him he had changed his email address.
If anyone in the group can help, it would be greatly appreciated. We
have a group of about 6 senior students (just completed Part 2) who
are motivated to continue, refine, and enjoy our practice. We would
be glad to pay for a copy of the dvd.
Yours
