Practicing in the snow
We got close to a foot of snow in Boulder, and today was a beautiful bluebird day, so I practiced in the neighborhood park. It was the first time I've ever done Qigong/Tai Chi outside in the snow! It was a great experience connecting with all the elements around me!
Strength workout for Tai Chi?
Is there a specific strength routine you recommend for Tai Chi?

@Kirby Mannon I would definitely be interested in some simple strength routines, using bands, and weights.
Qigong floor practice?
Yoga has standing, floor, and seated practices. I know Qigong has standing and seated practices. Does Qigong have a floor practice?
Some GREAT news 👍
#Jackiechan has a NEW movie coming out titled "KARATE KID LEGENDS" and is about to be released 🙌 ( for anyone interested in this martial arts legend.) Jackie Chan is 71 years young now and has done his own stunts in this upcoming movie. Check it out! Not sure when this movie will be released but I'll bet it's going to be great 👌 WATCH FOR IT! ALSO, for those interested in purchasing (a training tool) "wooden taichi ruler stick" I found that they can be purchased on AMAZON. There's a "Type A style" and a "Type B style." I ordered the""Type A" style and it should arrive today! They are made of natural wood and sell for $25.99 per stick, it shows that it comes in a beautiful silk pouch. (LOOK FOR Brand ASITP) So! That's my GREAT news for today!! I wish EVERYONE in our AWESOME TAICHI COMMUNITY a beautiful and blessed 🙌 THANKGIVING FEAST with family and loved ones! We truly have sooooo much to be thankful for. Enjoy and I'll look forward to our upcoming classroom time together ❤️ 😀 Thank you Sonny, Maya and Arsenia for providing so many of us so many great insights on martial arts training! You guys are THEE BEST 👌

Thanks @Laura Jeffreys! I just ordered the Tai Chi stick. Enjoy your holiday!
Balance
Yesterday, I had a very grueling 50K trail race in Golden, Colorado with a lot of technical climbing and descending. The balance I've gained from my Tai Chi practice translated into very sure-footed running on all the rocky terrain. Typically, in a run like this, I would have fallen a couple of times, but not this time!
