Overview
Toni DeMoulin practices, studies and teaches Taiji, Qi Gong, and Push Hands.  She is a student of  Master Alex Dong and hosts Alex's workshops in Santa Barbara.   She started the Santa Barbara branch of  Tung Ying Jie Taiji Legacy- Alex Dong International Taijiquan Association in September, 2003 and was instrumental in bringing Master Alex Dong and his taiji to the Czech Republic in May 2006.

   Toni initially studied with Alex's uncle Master Tung Kai Ying  (from Spring of 1972 to September, 2002). He was inspiring and a significant influence in her studies and teaching.  She started Tung Kai Ying schools in Santa Barbara, CA (1976),  Ojai, Ca (1988),  San Diego, CA (1988),  Rancho Bernardo, CA (1990),  and Portland, OR (1994).  Toni has also taken workshops with William C.

   Sifu Toni has had the opportunity to teach in many places. In California, she has taught in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara, Ojai, Ventura,  San Diago-Balboa Park, Rancho Bernardo, Hisperia, Victorville, Whittier, Big Bear, and La Honda. Other places she has taught in the USA are Portland, OR and a small town near Concord, NH. Internationally she has taught in Tonsburg in Norway, Prague in the Czech Republic, Montreal in Canada, in Paris, France and in Florance, Italy.

  Helping other students and teachers to study and discover the Principles of Taiji, and to enjoy Push Hands are of special interest to this Taiji grandma.  Today, Toni teaches regular classes in Santa Barbara and gives Taiji, Push Hands and Applications workshops by invitation to groups and schools worldwide.  

   As a gift to the taiji community, once a year on Memorial Day weekend Toni DeMoulin together with her senior students, Ken Anderson and Cynthia Pepper, teach a Push Hands and Taiji Principles workshop.  The low tuition fee of $125 for all three days makes it financially possible for any students to Attend. The information given is NOT style specific and is usefull for students and teachers from any taiji syile or school.

Author: Toni
The following study of Taiji Fundamentals is based on Toni DeMoulin's personal experience and dedicated study with Master Alex Dong and Master Tung Kai Ying.
I encourage the serious student to make a list of what you think is true 100% of the time in every move. Write your list before you read my notes or anybody else's notes. Make this list based on your personal experience and observations, not what you have been told or something you have read. Take your time. The process of doing this is invaluable when studying Taiji. I have done this many times during the past 35 years. After you have made your own list, go ahead and read this paper or others you find on the internet. Try physically doing what is suggested on someone else’s paper and see if it feels good, is it comfortable, is it the natural way the body moves and sinks?
