Hello Sonny, in the Eight Brocades, you do the Archer form with closed fists. With my previous teacher, it was done with an open hand. That is, the front hand with thumb and index finger open (index finger pointing up). What makes that difference?" @Kirby Mannon

Hey guys, just wanted to give you a quick update. First off, congratulations again to everyone who completed the challenge. We’re proud of you. As far as the prizes go, we placed the merch order last week. Our manufacturer is out of the country, so production and shipping to us will take several weeks. Once everything arrives, we’ll need a little time to sort the items and send them out to each individual winner. Because of this timeline, you’ll most likely receive your prizes in early May. We know you’re excited, and trust us, we were just as excited to run this contest. Everything is in motion. It’s just taking a bit longer than we originally expected. You will absolutely receive your prizes and gifts. For the next contest, we’ll make sure the prizes are ready in advance so the turnaround is much faster. Thank you for your patience 🙂

Hey Guys, This post clearly isn’t Tai Chi related but as we have become a wonderful community over the last few months, I thought I’d share 😊 I’ve just come back from Thailand watching my son Matt, get married to his beautiful girlfriend of 7 years Bamee (About time he made her an honest woman!) It was a wonderful wedding, exciting, emotional and fun. It mixed cultures seamlessly and people travelled from all over the world to rejoice with the happy couple. There were very many tears and just as many laughs. I was an immensely proud Dad and unusually for the Father of the groom had to give a speech. This I’m happy to say went and afterwards I could relax and make merry. I brought, like a good student, my Qi Gong and Tai Chi with me though. I can recommend incorporating “body circles” with "advancing and retreating" to your dance moves. It works really well if mixed with a little Tango 😊 Once the wedding was over, we all travelled to the paradise island of Koh Lanta for a group holiday. As someone who lives nowhere near the sea, Qi Gong on a stunning Thai beach to start each day was utter bliss. I might have forgotten my stick, but the rest of RA’s training travels very well.
