days 81 & 82: Yang finals week

forms:

• Yang simplified 24 movement form

there was really no instruction this week, since it was final exam time on the UCLA quarter system.

day 81

we spent the day in exam. basically, each student took their own turn in front of class and did a solo performance of a section of the simplified 24 movement form.

day 82

this was a make-up day, where Sifu allowed students who wanted to improve their Tuesday performance to do it again. he also asked Art and i to take notes of each student and provide comments.

Sifu said next quarter the class will continue on, although he will repeat the lessons for the simplified 24 movement form for any new students who take the class. i'm guessing for continuing students he'll be teaching push hands and the Yang long form--although, to be honest, i have no idea.
