Car54 - Climate Change
My latest audio blog podcast including Taoism, ecology, martial arts and lifestyle.
It is with great sadness that we have to report that Dan Docherty passed away on 9th December 2021. His memory lives on through this website, his articles, videos, podcasts and in the hearts, minds and teaching of his many students and friends throughout the world.
If you are looking for a teacher in this style, then please visit “Where to Learn” “Instructor Listings” page as although this is not being kept up to date it will provide contact details for a number of his main students.
The PTCCI practitioners Facebook page is useful should you have questions.

Tough Girls
The Gentle Sex
Posted by: Dan
Just back from the land of milk and honey. I remember I first met Dov around 1991. He'd just come back from training in Hong Kong and was in London for a couple of days and could only attend one class. After he did the class he was outraged and said, 'Even the girls here can beat me in pushing hands.' [Mind you, some of those ladies like Esmeralda were pretty tough...] To his credit he came back and kept coming back and has built a great team. Over the years some of his best people have come over to Docherty Towers for extended stays and personal tuition. They have gone on to become excellent teachers in their own right. I haven't had this type of 'Inside The Door Student' for a while, but am opening out this avenue to TCC enlightenment once again. Interested parties are welcome to contact me. I promise not to make them push with 'Tough Girls.'
