Knight of Disks

After practicing three open hand sets (the most recent one being a chow lee fut set called Moi Fa or "plum blossom") yesterday evening J. tested how long I could hold a horse stance. Only 1 minute and 15 seconds. Unfortunately I didn't have two poles balanced on my legs and arms to convince any observers I was in a deep enough stance. When I lived in Buffalo I remember hour long classes that consisted soley of remaining in this stance. Of course I couldn't hold this for an hour, but I'd like to imagine that some of that training has carried over.

I should also note that last Thurs. I got the opportunity to observe Sifu S. perform a tai chi set thats not the one we usually conclude the class with. Admittedly, I've not seen anything quite like this and learned that it was Chen style tai chi. Apparently Sifu S. has been learning this from a master of this style and occasionally mentions his interest in teaching a class on this.
