Notice: does anyone want to help me make a web app for this? I want to make the site: thingsyoudidntknowexisted.in, which transcends and includes [[thingsyoudidntknowexistedatmit]], this page, and more. (Maybe thingsyoudidntknowexistedthatarerelevanttoyou.tk. If so, email me at jacob@ideaflow.io)

### Tai Chi / Qigong / Meditation Teachers

Tai Chi Grandmaster William C C Chen Tai Chi <http://www.williamccchen.com/> #bodymaster (Art of Learning \#book author Josh Waitzkin’s teacher).

(Classes by his son Max are technically right but William is the genius http://www.williamccchen.com/

This is one of the few tai chi forms which I think is properly constructed for meditative purposes. William is one of the greatest living tai chi masters and he is the teacher of the guy who wrote the book The art of learning , Which is incredible
