Representative Strengthening Posture -- Remember this posture should have the arms in front of the shoulders, and the back should be rounded while the chest is concaved. The posture twists, but the knees stay wide, and both feet have pressure. The side you're turning towards should have the majority of your weight, and that hand is on the inside during application.

This is a pre-class introduction to this section of the blog. Generally, this tag will be reserved specifically for records of what materials were covered in class. This way, anyone who missed this class can simply reference this page for details. Also, any events, or happenings will be here to help trigger the memory of those who were in attendance. Any photography from the day can be posted here, along with instructor revelations and notes for future training and practice of the skills covered.These will be sub-sortable by the basics course material: Wudang Taijiquan, Wudang Gongfu, Realizing Self-Defense, and Seminars (just as the website). Of course, with multiple sections for each class, it may be a bit confusing as to which classes were yours and which you are not enrolled in. Therefore, all posts also include their Course Codes and class times. Similar classes are held at different times due to student scheduling options. Therefore, some posts reference multiple Course Codes and sections.By actively leaving questions and comments on corresponding blog posts, I can respond directly to your questions, with a clear understanding of circumstances and specifics. This is encouraged as other students may also have the same questions (or students in other sections) and this is useful for everyone. Best of wishes to all my students, and I hope to begin this Year of the Tiger with wonderful additions to the student base, and integrated arts-- between the ancient and the online.Best of Wishes,~Michael A.
