Recently all classes (bar Moss Bank - next year kids!) have been exploring the concept of abstract movement within Tai Chi Chuan using the simple straight lines of an informal salute as a foundational base to create smoother and faster organic circular curves by adding in the energy of 'sung' and eventually combining all with Tai Chi rotation (Elvis). Whilst what we're doing is an entry technique the true focus for this exercise is how different wavelengths of applied energy will alter the nature of even the simplest movement.
Those of you with martial backgrounds have already spotted where I was going with this, thank for your patience and support in helping the other less experienced students along. I'm proud of you all - especially my life giving swords!
Blessings
