Today marks 3 years since I stepped onto the kwoon mats for the first time and began learning Tai Chi. It feels way longer than that, I’ll tell you. It has been the base for my training and has definitely assisted it in ways I cannot imagine or haven’t even realized yet. When I started, I was rigid, clunky, without flow. This form has taken that clunky robot man and began the process of making him more like a flowing river.
I find Tai Chi to be even more beneficial mentally than physically. It is an easy way to melt away all the stresses and problems of the week and start the weekend right. It is my favorite class taught in the kwoon. Being that it is a soft style I know that it is going to take decades to master, so every subtle sign of progression is appreciated that much more.
Sifu Dennis and Sifu Vantuil do a fantastic job of keeping the class engaged and are always ready to answer any question with an infinite amount of patience. Thank you for the opportunity to learn this beautiful art.
