Tai Chi at the Allen Center - 2012 Day 287

Three thronged in for a 4 minute 30 second set. Following the bare-hands set, we went through a 4-ish minute called sword set. Following the forms, all three remained for 11 minutes of meditative standing.

Beginning students in the University class were subjected to practice of part one and allowed questions and (hopefully) useful answers. The students working on part two were also subjected to practice of part two up through the Step Forward, Deflect Downward, Parry, and Punch after the second Turn and Chop. I believe the practice went well.

The last evening class of the session was small. At least 4 of the students were not there, but the beginners pushed through Step Forward, Deflect Downward, Parry, and Punch. Unfortunately, we got a bit sidetracked talking about punches and how to do them, but I believe many of the students had fun, so I don't begrudge them not finishing part one.
