Went to Tai Ji practice last night. My Sifu had us doing Chi Gong
for quite a while,,and then some pole sitting,,it was definitly a good
work out. Afterwards we did 24 form. Sifu said I needed to work on my
brush knee ,,so over to the side I went and worked on Brush knee twist
step for quite a awhile..I always enjoy the Tai Ji Sessions. My Sifu
is a 40 year plus?? Lady from Taiwan, very old school in her training
methods, she beleives in strong basics..very much the way Ive been
trained in my Karate,,for me the old school ways are what keeps me
doing these martial arts,, always trying to improve on basic movement.

Anyways, the training in Tai Ji Quan certainly has helped me
understand my Karate much better, so many of the movements , especially
in the transitions from one step to another pulls out that
understanding of the movements in Kata of karate.
