Tai Chi at the Allen Center - 2012 Day 249

Five flanked their way into HEC 110 this morning for a 13 minute called set. We sped things up a bit as one of the group had to leave a bit earlier than usual. Before the bare-hands set, there was a question on High Pat on Horse. After the set, there was a question on Lift Hands Step Forward and Play Lute, specifically the differences in application between them.

After Q&A on the bare-hands, all five remained for a 5 minute called sword set. Following the set, there were questions on Step Over, Block Up, Black Dragon Wraps Around the Pole, and Spirit Points the Way. We then went back and reviewed the finer details of Prepare through Big Dipper.

Last, but not least, three remained for some work on the staff. - I ran all the way through the set to refresh myself on the moves and energies of said weapon after which we went through Ready position, Left Bow Stance (and) Chop, Right Bow Stance (and) Upward Cut, Right Empty Stance Block and Strike Left, and finally Left Empty Stance Block and Strike Right.
