karohemdThe Tai Chi Intensive was, well, intense.
Paul, the instructor, was superb. I always thought our instructor is at a level I'll never never reach but this guy was just amazing. OK, he's been doing Tai Chi for 15 years but still...
As usual, we did a set to start with and then we only did foundation exercises, first tor-yus and then don-yus. Paul both demonstrated and described the correct movements and postures and pointed out the frequent mistakes. He also walked along the rows, individually pointing out things.
This was very good because I now know those exercises well enough to practice them at home and as they are on the spot you don't need much room so I can do them while watching TV or whatever.
To finish we did a special set concentrating on the aspects we'd been practising before. Very very good.
Regular class on Wednesday and my first General Workshop all next weekend in Colchester. Getting up before 7 will be hard but at least I won't need to drive.
