T'ai Chi at the Allen Center - 2011 Day 159

Four found their way in for a 25 minute uncalled set. I asked the students to focus on their breathing today and promised the form would not be overly long.

Before the set, Charlie asked about Brush Left Knee, specifically the height of the brushing arm. I'm inclined to say lower dan tien height, but will confirm. After the set, there was a question on the foot work of Bend Bow, Shoot Tiger and another question on maintaining balance while executing kicks. I related Charlie's discovery of drawing the kicking leg up directly in front of the supporting leg and asked the student to play with it.
