Tai Chi at the Allen Center - 2013 Day 78

Three threaded in for a 23 minute uncalled set. After the set, we briefly discussed the left hand in Turn and Sweep Lotus.

Following the 103, two remained for a quick slash at the saber set up through Move Forward with Three Fold Harmony of Technique.

In the University class, after a slightly abbreviated warm-up, the 26 students of my normally 70+ student class worked on some self-defense moves and escapes. We also talked briefly about the appropriate use of martial techniques, focusing on the idea that simply because you can do something doesn't mean you should or that it is morally permissible to do so. A long-time student approached me after class and indicated that doing something simply because one could (i.e. Might makes Right) was often termed a 'vulgar display of power.' I rather like that term and may have to use it in future.
