Spring 2016 – Rick’s visit in Prague

by Pavel Codl on 2016/03/21

We have a great visitor last weekend in Prague. Rick Pietila from USA currently based in Wienna (Austria) paid us a short visit. We did short toursight around town, I tried to show Rick the most popular places of Prague and than, of course, we practiced. Lukas Hrncirik of Prague joined us and we did Yilu corrections, we shared info and knowledge about Practical Method and did some Push hand. In total we practiced more than 4 hours and I like to add, superb ones! Looking forward to see you next time Rick!

Pavel, your a great tour guide, a wealth of knowledge, and a great instructor. Your energy and enthusiasm are uplifting and motivating. Prague is a beautiful city with lots of cool historical sites. Lucas is a gem as well, strong guy like bull! Thanks for having me, and taking the time and being a great host. You represent PM very well! Thanks for the help with Yilu and push hands. I look forward to another, longer visit, later in the year. PS, I’ll give you car parking lessons next time I come ;:).

I think it is exceptionally cool that people from all around the world can be brought together to practice Practical Method!
