The Details:
It's 68 at the house. I'm going into The Studio to meet with Jeff for 7:15 and then teach Taiji Class at 8:00
The Practice:
Once I drove into town and opened up The Studio, Jeff and I started by working on Cheng style Baguazhang 8 Mother (Animal) Set Changes 1 & 2 (both sides) and #3 (Bear Palm) on the right side only so that Jeff could acquire the sequence.
Next we did a round of The Taiji Dance with me issuing and Jeff recieving. We did a whole round on that side.
As the class formed I did a full round of The 10+ with limited explanation so as not to take up too much time. I did explain about red vs white tissue and discerning between stretching the individual muscles and stretching the fascia (slightly)
Next the class did a row of Brush Knee and Twist focused on Counter Balancing
Next we applied that principle to Wave Hands Like Clouds.
Next we split up into two groups:
1. Those that have memorized the form sequence
2. Those that are working on the sequence.
I took #1 and Jeff took #2
I recited my version of The Taiji Classics during Part I
After class I showed the group Master Pauls book and asked what they thought Master Yang Chen-Fu's #1 Principle was.
Afterwards I dropped off paperwork to Tommy and Ozzies, went to the Gfld. Co-op for soup and lunch and then to the landfill.
Next I drove home to eat lunch and journal today's practice (twice!!)
