karohemd | Tai Chi update

After the hard work at the workshop on Saturday, a lot of things went more smoothly. It's almost a bit unfair towards those in the class who didn't go. You could clearly see the difference, especially in the coordination of the movement of the hands in relation to the body (which was the emphasis on Saturday).

The review continues apace and we're now at "Fist Under Elbow", having refined "Whip Out Diagonally". I'd imagine we'll spend a lot of time on "Go Back on Ward off Monkey" next week and possibly the week after, as it is a very involved move.

Sam has also encouraged us to visit regular classes now which is very encouraging so I'll probably do that now and then (there's one on Monday and one on Thursday nights which would be convenient).

There's a Sabre workshop in September, I'm very very tempted but I'll ask Sam closer to the time what she thinks. They say that you don't have to have mastered one form before you can do another as various forms concentrate on different aspects of the body which will then benefit your "regular" Tai Chi as well.

I really need to win the lottery so I don't have to work, can buy a nice house with enough room to practice and go to every class I want. ;o)

Will have finished the workshop photos tonight, hopefully.
