I strive in my own practice to capture his effortless grace and gentle flow. I know none of those adjectives naturally connect with my person nor persona. This video outlines a few things to keep in mind during your practice both in class and in private.

Here's a PDF I created to help with learning the Yang 10 sequence. I asked ChatGPT to polish it for me so if you catch any errors, let me know.

I was thinking we would warm up with this form because it works the major postures of the 24 without stressing the sequence or transitional postures. It might make each section easier when we tie them together. This is a great video with excellent tempo to see what each posture looks like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P4Z4sQNQtJM

For our first couple of practices, we will work on the opening sequence and the fundamentals of the first few postures. We will have a portion of practice focused on the moves by themselves in what I refer to as 'dojo style' that mimics learning any martial art practice. The second portion is working the sequence as a unit in what I call 'flow style' to practice the moves and transitions.

This is one of the videos I used during my certification program. I found his rhythm and flow to be enchanting during his performance. Do not expect me to have this level of grace and serenity! 🤓 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aold9sHQgKo
