Tai Chi at the Allen Center - 2012 Day 306

Three thundered (okay, that was me) in for an 18 minute uncalled set. This was by design as one of the practitioners this morning prefers a slightly less slow set. There were no questions on the bare-hands set.

After, two remained for a 5 minute called sword set. In my studies of the sword form, I noticed a very minor change from what I'm doing in Phoenix Spreads Both Wings. The height of the left arm needs to be just slightly lower than the shoulder, about 4 to 6 inches depending on the build of the person executing the frame.

Almost everyone was there for the sword class this evening. I think only one from the 'revised' roster was not there. After a bit of practice from what we learned last time, we proceeded into Scoop the Moon From the Sea Bottom and Embrace the Moon, Naza Searches the Sea, Rhinoceros Gazes at the Moon, Shoot the Wild Goose, and Green Dragon Bears Its Claws. We ran short on time or the last 'Phoenix' move would have been in there, too. We'll get that next time.
