Tuesday Practice

 

I went in to The Studio this morning to teach the 8-9:30 am T'ai Chi Ch'uan class. I had four show up; Sally, Janee, LJ and Read.

I used Master T. T. Liangs 'counting' to illustrate and explain the paradox of completing a posture by stopping/not stopping between beat 4 and a half and the 1 of the next posture. There is a very small (time wise) state of Wuji (actively doing nothing and creating space) at the very end of each movement. 

After discussion we went on to The 10 Exercises for a Warm Up.

Then a Round (right side) focusing on transitioning from Wuji to Tai-Chi and back to Wuji.

After class I stayed until 11 ish and worked on the Tai-Chi Jian Form and sword basics with Janee and Read.

I needed to back home as I had a 'jam' set up for 2-5

                                              Music in The Barn with these guys is so much Fun!!
