Three threw in for a 5 minute uncalled set this morning. Following the set, we did a 5 minute called sword set. Following the sword set, I made a few comments on Phoenix Spreads Right Wing and Roc Spreads Its Wings. Since everyone had somewhere else to be, we left a little early and skipped the typical standing meditation.

In the University class today, the beginners made it up through Press and discussed in depth the positions of the hands, (i.e. Seated, Unseated, Reverse Seated, Tiger Mouth, and Tiger Eye) while the more advanced folks had a good review of Carry Tiger Return to Mountain. I chatted briefly with the advanced folks on the arm-break in Carry Tiger and started them on Transitional Single Whip. Fist Under Elbow next time.

In the much fuller evening class, we also made it up through Press and also revisited the hand positions. Some excellent questions were brought up by the youngest practitioner there, the best of which was, "What if...." - This lead to the 'tool box' discussion which is always an important viewpoint for better understanding.
