Hello, live in Phoenix, I’ve been studying with Ping Wei for not quite two years. Looking forward to many more years of practice.

Hi all,

Here is my first recorded Yilu-First 13, with a little help from my dog, Calli.
I have been studying Practical Method in Phoenix for three years with Ping Wei.

Until this week, I never tried recording myself, but boy am I glad I did! It is such a helpful tool. .
