Added to YLC2: Needle in Sea to Calm Spirit

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:

  1. Vertical (Old Yang version of) Needle at Bottom of the Sea
  2. Fan through Back
  3. Turn and (Crank or) Chop with Fist
  4. 3 Punches in Bow Stance
  5. 3 Punches on Front Foot
  6. Gather Energy and Release with Fajing Punch
  7. Press Points to Calm the Spirit
