Tai Chi at the Allen Center - 2012 Day 225

One came in for a 21 minute set. Shortly before the time allotted expired, another ducked in for some assistance with part one.

For the afternoon set, two attended an impromptu and somewhat unexpected gathering in the HEC for a 14 minute called set followed by questions on Transitional Single Whip into Fist Under Elbow and Diagonal Single Whip. Further explanations and comments were made on Step Forward, Deflect Downward, Parry and Punch as well as Wave Hands Like Clouds.

Following the bare-hands section, while the one student worked on some very important course work, I practiced alone with a staff set followed by a sword set done with a foil. (Talk about 'whip-like-action'. ;-)

This has certainly improved my outlook for the rest of the day. :-)
