If you could sum up the benefits of practicing Taiji into one word, what would that word be?

For me it would be ‘mobility’

I don’t know about you, but you cannot learn Taiji from a video. The best advice to anyone wanting to learn is to find a good teacher, which isn’t easy because they are not readily available in every town or city. But don’t give up, keep looking.

I saw the beautiful tree and thought what a great backdrop for my Taiji practice. And then when I thought I had space the crowd arrived. Aaaarrrgghhh timing is everything.

An ambition achieved. So there I was in an early Spring day outside the city Museum in Xian, China. Not particularly expecting anything when one of my group shouted ‘they’re practicing Taiji in the park’. Well, you couldn’t hold me back. Not my family style, but watching them practice outdoors with wonderful, calming music was just immense. Totally made my day.

Visiting the Terracotta Army, ascending Mount Huashan (given the weather terrible view) and then watching a Chen Taiji school practicing beside the Xian City Museum. I can highly recommend the experience, though all the better by using a private tour. Then on to Hong Kong and Thailand making more wonderful memories.

There’s that famous quote ‘I know all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order’. One of the great things about learning different forms is that they make you approach the same postures but from a different angle or perspective, thus challenging your ability to really transition into those postures.

Finding a great place to practice only to suffer the noise when the local circuit training class starts to set up. Hence the music. It was so nice though to practice brush the knee and push it such a picturesque location.

I’m not a professional Taiji practitioner, I do have a day life, including ‘full time’ grandpa one day a week. So when it gets to time for a nap? That doesn’t include me. Now I can practice with my imaginary sword.
