T'ai Chi at the Allen Center - 2011 Day 185

Three slipped in from the moderate to heavy rain for a 27 minute uncalled set. We altered our normal facing of the mirrors (east) to the wall with the closet (north) such that the mirrors provided alternate data. I found it illuminating both from a personal perspective as well as from an instructor's perspective.

Although there were no questions after the set, I reiterated the transition between Bend Bow Shoot Tiger and Step Forward, Deflect Downward, etc. The primary issue I noted was an incorrect pointing of the right foot which translates to a non-turning of the waist for the transitional "arm"-break between the two aforementioned positions.
