Does anyone know of a yang-style tai chi teacher in Sofia, Bulgaria–where I am now?? – jillscherb7?

I’m now in Sofia, Bulgaria and left tai chi classes I took for 2 and 1/2 years in Austin, Texas with Tom Gohring’s school. I’d like to start practice again (I’m beginner level, second level–gold sash). I also do some Golden Crane qigong (taught English in China) and longtime Ananda Marga yoga practice.- Jenell

Why do we have to touch the roof of the mouth with our tip of the tongue while doing tai chi and qi gong?

The teacher told men to touch the roof of their mouths with the tip of their tongue and women to touch the roof with hook-shaped tip of their tongues. Why is this necessary?
Also, why is it useful to swallow our mouth fluids during practices?

Making my uniform pop?

My martial arts teacher told me that I needed to get my uniform to snap or pop when I preforms my techquies. How do I get to to do that? I’m a yellow belt in taekwondo.
