Tai Chi update
2 Feb 2005 09:40 pmMoving swiftly on, we did two new tricks today (Parting Wild Horse's Mane and Fair Lady Works Shuttles), the first being one of those that are quite simple but have quite a lot of depth in the movement, the other involving a long sequence of rather complicated steps and arm movements (two full turns and stepping out in alternating directions in between) but even the latter started to make sense after practising it over and over. Now I only need to untangle my hands and get their posture right (feet and body are almost there) and that should come as we go along.
When we did the whole set up to that point, I felt really secure and always felt sure of the order of moves (which is more difficult than to remember what you have to do during the moves). This is tricky because there are quite a few sequences that are repeated several times throughout the set.
I think I'm going to visit two classes next week, the other class is one week behind us so it's a good refresher.
As soon as it's getting warmer, I'll be able to practice in the garden in the evening and on weekends and in the small park near work during the day.
If I'm alive after the party on Saturday, I'll go to the Intensive on Sunday. Scary thought...
