If you have ever considered taking Tai Chi, just do it! The benefits come in so many other places of Kung Fu.
1. Let your hips lead you, not your hands- Recently I was reviewing a move in Long where my hands were not coming together at the same time. I realized that I was leading the transition with my hands and not with my hips. That simple change instantly fixed my issue.
2. Don’t anticipate your next move, complete the move your on and THEN move forward. - This came up when I was focusing on Hung and my tendency to have a broken horse stance. I was anticipating the transition and pivoting my foot which kept it splayed in the next move. There are other things also at play but this is a major factor.
There are so many other benefits of Tai Chi. It’s the first time I felt Chi, it’s helped lower my center, it’s helped with my balance because all those micro muscles get a work out but these two aha moments yesterday really showed how it benefits all my Kung Fu.
(Level 1 will be starting up soon - just saying 😉)
See you on the mats!
