day 86: starting Yang tai chi long form

concepts:
  • wu ji
  • tai chi
forms:
  • Yang tai chi long form

this was the 1st day of the winter quarter at UCLA, so it was a pretty typical 1st class day. Sifu went through the roster, and gave out basic guidelines regarding course content and guidelines.

he announced that we'd be learning the Yang long form this quarter, including those who were new. we did the 1st initial moves of the long form, which consisted of the opening and slanted flying.

that was really all. unlike the other UCLA tai chi class posts, i'm not breaking this into 2 days, since i only made the Tuesday class and missed Thursday. Sifu told me i didn't miss much Thursday, since he's still focusing on basics to get the newbies up to speed.

short post, huh?

don't worry, there'll be more.
