Gene,

you are totally pimping that suit.

excellent....

[GeneChing]

Last year, I wore the same suit, only as a full-on 3-piece. This year, I dropped the vest so the tie would show better. That's an official CHQA tie, packed with qi, so covering it with a vest detracted from its power.

Here are some push hands vids from TCKFMCII, forwarded to me by Tony Wong, who helped run our Push Hands division.
restricted-step push-hands -- Nathan (black)
TCKFM push hands -- Nathan (black ribbon)
TCKFM push-hands -- Marlon (red), Round 1
TCKFM push-hands -- Marlon (red), Round 2
