Tai Chi update
8 Sep 2005 12:08 amToday, we started with two sets in a row and went through a few bits of pieces afterwards.
Then, we practised don-yus and tor-yus again, two foundation exercises that are perfect for practising principles of the set at home when you don't have much space as they will be part of the regular moves (and what matters, too, the rest is just choreography). Next week, we'll start from the beginning again, going deeper into the structure (rather than just doing basic choreography). It'll be more intense physically but I think I'm now prepared for it.
The size of the class (4 regular ex-beginners) is currently perfect because Sam can concentrate a lot more on each student.
Another high point for me: When we were practising don-yus, Sam was going round, watching everyone and correcting necessary bits (stance, posture, movement and so on), watched me for a while and then carried on without saying anything...
The class will soon grow, however, as the other regular class (on Thursdays) has now been discontinued so we'll have more advanced people joining our class, too.
Don't forget, all those of you in Cambs interested in Tai Chi, the TTCS will be demonstrating sets on New Square (the park between Grafton Centre and Drummer St.) on this Saturday, from 11:30 ish to 4:30. Come and watch, get info or even join us!
