One of my favorite things about working with movement artists is that they have a firm foundation. They've done basics. They've enjoyed learning about movement, and they've grown. Usually, they can get right in and be amazed by Taiji. At some point, bodies, minds, and spirits ache for more sophisticated, flowing formations because, deep down, our bodies understand more than our petty, self-conscious minds.

It seems as i get into the forms of Tai Ji and learn more about the techniques with in the forms,, I have had many of a Eureka moment,,in wow,, all these years,, and thats what this movement or technique was all about<< ?? Golleeee why didnt I start Tai Ji back in the 60's ??

I will certainly go through these exercises with those that practice Tai Ji with me at our classes. Thanks so much.

The shortened version of "y,n,m,s" was my little experiment to see how vimeo works...it will change tomorrow (Mon 23) to the longer version that includes wrists and ankles. In addition, I'll provide a download link and the watch it here option. I will enjoy hearing how it works for/with your clients. Jenn,

I was able to watch the initial Yes, No, Maybe, Sometimes video and look forward to seeing the longer version when I can take the time to wait for the download. I see a direct impact these practices will have for me (one who knows the body but doesn't physically sense it)and, potentially, my clients who struggle to move naturally with even basic movements. I appreciate your integration of the structure and function; movement and sensation. I imagine it's a compiliation of all you've experienced with your martial arts training, individual study (Feldenkrais, for instance), and massage training. Maybe that's just the basics of Taiji itself or martial arts training. Not having practiced or studied martial arts myself, I wouldn't be able to say. Best wishes with this endeavor. I'll continue to read...and practice. Jenn Thanks so much for sharing, Steven.
