PROMOTION ANNOUNCEMENT

LINDA RICCIARDI

"MASTER KUILE HU"

NICKNAMED "HAPPY TIGER"

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to Linda for completing and advancing to her 1st Degree Black Sash designation in Shaolin & Tai Chi Chuan.

Linda started at the Academy as a group student. She quickly realized she found a love of Tai Chi, which expanded to Shaolin, Weapons, Qigong, & Chin Na rather quickly.

Group instruction was good, however, private was the way to go. Moving to private instruction, taking several classes per week, attending all of the group classes, working out with other students, and on her own, Linda has been putting 4-6 hours a day, 6 days a week.

Not being enough for this "Happy Tiger," she also has taken on the roll as the Social Director of the Academy, keeping us busy recognizing Tai Chi Day, Special Occasions, Promotions, and more...true dedication.

Bringing NEW and VITAL energy into the Academy, it has again transcended to a new level. The Teacher is learning from the student... Thank you Kuile Hu!!!

May your next 3 years of Kung Fu be even more rewarding than the first 3 years.

IT IS THIS EXPRESSION & SMILE THAT MAKES HER THE HAPPY TIGER!!!

IT IS THIS INFECTIOUS SMILE THAT LIVES IN MY MIND 24/7...

Thanks

Shifu
