This summer, the Garden celebrated the culture of China with a variety of activities - many of them centered around martial arts. In late August, Dr. Lu Mei Hui and Master Chang Wu Na from the
Wudang Internal Martial Arts Academy charmed visitors with a spectacular display worthy of a summer outing. Dr. Lu and Master Chang brought their class to perform several martial arts demonstrations in the theatrical setting of Knowing the Spring Courtyard.
Visitors enjoyed the spirited movement choreographed to music with a backdrop of blue sunny skies and the clean lines of the courtyard walls.

In July, Restita DeJesus of the
Seattle Wushu Center held a tai chi class in the Courtyard. The calm patience of Restita's style is highly regarded and her skills as an instructor have gained her a great following and the respect and admiration of her students. She has been conducting classes in the Garden since we first opened our gates.
