I may have mentioned the big muscled black guy that tosssed me around like a rag doll this saturday at Taiji Legacy. It turns out his name is Quinn Early. He's a former NFL Wide Receiver for the San Diego Chargers and the Buffalo Bills during the 90's.
He's got a good 16 years of experience in Taiji, it seems, compared to my less-than-one-year. I think I did pretty darn well just getting a good clean point off of him in fixed-step push hands.
Here's an article about him using Tai Chi to add average yardage to his game.<./a>
