During the summer term just past, I attended a series of ten Tai Chi classes to discover if it was what I wa expecting. The form being taught was the 24 Form and included some Qi Gong exercises.
Most of the people there had been going since the previous September so they had already learned the form when I joined them. I didn’t find this off-putting as they were a nice bunch and they were still running through the form regularly to perfect their moves and taking on new challenges, like Pushing Hands. The tutor was very good and knew her stuff as you would expect from someone with 35 years experience. Tai Chi surpassed my expectations. It is a relaxing experience that helped me feel at peace with the universe.
By the end of the ten weeks, I managed to learn up to Repulse Monkey, which I was very pleased with. However since the summer holidays I hadn’t made the opportunity to practice as I should. I even bought Dr Paul Lam’s DVD of the 24 Form to guide me. My Tai Chi classes recommence at the end of September. I hope to get some practice in before then.
