Added to YLC2: Needle in Sea to Calm Spirit
By Steven Smith 16 Jan 2011
Two things: this new category of articles called “Course Updates” appears in RSS Feeds and Email Updates, but not on the main blog page. Why? Because these brief updates…
- Show what’s new behind-the-scenes in Real Taiji Online Courses.
- Inspire participation so you get better, feel better, and move better.
We’ll start here (if you’d like retroactive updates, let me know):
The latest video lesson (uploaded yesterday) is in the Yang Lu-chan Taiji Energetics Course (part 2 of the long Yang Form). It reveals 7 motions:
- Vertical (Old Yang version of) Needle at Bottom of the Sea
- Fan through Back
- Turn and (Crank or) Chop with Fist
- 3 Punches in Bow Stance
- 3 Punches on Front Foot
- Gather Energy and Release with Fajing Punch
- Press Points to Calm the Spirit
