Tai Chi at the Allen Center - 2013 Day 35

One wiggled in for a warm-up followed by a nine minute 103 form and some saber slashing. The flow of the 103 was really nice today, interspersed with explosive intent. The saber also felt good.

I left a shade early, just in time to watch the upper edge of the sun clear the horizon through a copse. The shades of pinks and oranges streaking across the sky simply cannot be captured by film or digital means.

Seven swashbuckled in for the saber class this evening (not including the instructor). We reviewed how to hold the saber, some basic arm strengthening exercises directly related to the saber, Step Forward to Seven Stars, Step Back to Ride Tiger, and Switch Saber and then added part of Move Forward, Rise Up, Dodge Aside, and Extend with High Spirit.
