Tai Chi at the Allen Center - 2012 Day 265

Five flowed back into the Allen Center for a 23 minute uncalled set. Although it was 23 minutes, the last half of part 3 was definitely accelerated a bit. Apparently the breathing exercises have been working. :-p

Two remained after the bare-hands set to practice (and one to watch) a quick (4 minute) run through of the sword. It felt pretty good until I wrapped the tassel on Present the Ivory Tablet. Oh well. Hopefully I will be better next time.

On a mostly unrelated note, there was some discussion of Tai Chi Easy (TM) this morning shortly before and a bit into the warm-ups. Although I am a wholehearted supporter of the energetic arts (Qi Gong, especially) I think it should be noted that Tai Chi Easy (TM) is NOT T'ai Chi Ch'uan. Although the health-aspect energies are quite similar, the reasons for practicing can be very different. - Awareness is often useful.
