"T'ai chi ch'uan (or Taijiquan) is a relatively modern phrase. It came about in the late 19th century. Before that, what we now know as Taiji was called by other names, such as hao ch'uan' (translated 'loose boxing') or its more correct name of dim-mak (translated 'the striking of the vital points' or 'death-point striking'). It's ironic that the art most people call Taiji has now been reduced to a wimp's boxing rather than the 'supreme ultimate boxing,' which is what T'ai chi ch'uan means. Once …

The concept behind this Meetup is not a new one; artists have always collaborated with one another to stoke their creative fires by reacting artistically to each others work. In this case, the idea is for each artist to bring a sketchbook, begin a drawing, then have that sketchbook rotated through everyone else at the table, allowing the other artists to add to, and finish the drawing. You don't have to be a good artist to participate; the end result will be interesting no matter what, and even …
