Dear Master Solomons:

Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to come to Master Gohring's School in Austin.  I really appreciate the pointers, observations and techniques you shared with us. Having never heard of push hands before joining Master Gohring's school, I've only been pushing for 4 years. It's really exhilarating and I LOVE it !!  For me, it's describes the essence of my TaiChi practice applied. Most helpful to me personally were your comments about not using so much Force rather use Strength (body) connected with intelligence (mind) and intention (spirit). This is true throughout my life and as you pointed out Force is really not working for me anymore. Being able to push with you during the workshop really allowed me to explore that and FEEL my way through it. I really appreciate that and hope that we will have the opportunity to push with you again at Master Gohring's school in Austin. In Sincere Appreciation and Gratitude,

Dwight Flinkerbusch Austin Texas

Master Solomons,

Thank you for sharing your push hands expertise with us.  I took your last workshop when you were here about a year ago when I was a gold sash, and thought I learned a lot at that time.  As a red sash this time around I learned how little I really knew.  I appreciate that I learned even more how to listen to my opponent. The phrase that you kept using was "intelligent focus," and that really rang true for me.  You didn't want us to intellectualize or over think everything. You kept getting us out of our heads and focused into really listening to our bodies. It was great that you were able to take the time to work with each one of us individually.  I think the twenty minutes I spent pushing with you taught me more about my push hands than the five hours of the whole workshop. 
I thoroughly enjoyed the short form that you taught to us too. I have incorporated it into my practice. I can hear your voice calling out the Chinese names.

The workshop overall was a great enhancement to the training in push hands I have received from Master Gohring.  I am grateful that Master Gohring is willing and able to bring in masters that he has learned from in order to pass on such priceless knowledge directly to his students.

The weekend was a humbling and inspiring experience. Thank you for taking the time to share your appreciation of push hands with us.

Sincerely,

Mary Grabhorn

I haven't been to a lot of workshops & I still get a
little anxious, thinking the Master Instructor might
be intimidating or something but, as with other
workshops at Master Gohring's school, Master Solomans
was a really, cool, funny guy who can really do Push
Hands. I enjoyed the warm-ups he led us through, the
form he showed us & I was amazed at how he kept going
all day, working with each student. He gave good
advice to me & to others that I caught a little of,
like not trying to be so competitive as much as
working together on our technique. I would definately
take his workshop again in the future. Thanks to
Master Gohring for making it happen.
Regards & Respect,

Dear Master Solomons,

Thank you for taking the time to come and share your experience and expertise with us this past weekend. It was tremendously helpful, especially the opportunity to push with you. We only pushed together a handful of times, but I felt like I learned a ton about the dynamics of push hands – plus I got a glimpse into a couple of things I was doing wrong. Overall, the experience was fantastic. I'm just beginning my journey into freestyle push hands, and I have no doubt what I learned this weekend will help me tremendously. Would love to have you back again if your schedule accommodates it.

Thanks again.
