Thank TJ.
Today was my first 5 mile day.
I have been working up to the five mile mark.
there is a park with a paved trail, around a small lake. The lap is 1.25 miles.
I pause after each lap and play my form. It is a grand way to start the day.
MO,
sometimes the intent is martial, sometimes qigong.
mostly just keeping proper posture of shoulders and pelvis.
It is very hard for me to have martial and qigong going at the same time.
I am just a beginner , and sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of detail that goes into the...
Xue, than you for the pointers, I will take you advice to heart, for it is great advice.
JKS, thank you for your words of encouragement, and for your advice.
I know I have lots of hard work to do, that is why I chose such a high number.
I am only 7 months into my training, coming from a very...
Thanks to you both for taking time to watch the video.
I know I have much work to do.
Today I cross the 200 mark and will be making a new video to post on youtube.
Xue, don't hold back, moving forward with positive attitudes. all comments welcome. Comments on form is what I am after.
EW...
entries not necessarily written on same day as exercise.
I started my paper journal, before the decision to BLOG was made.
Thanks for following my progress.
again congratulation on being really smart, and good at taiji.
have fun in your practice and may good fortune smile upon you.
I think you take yourself a little too seriously, and are a little too quick to try and correct people.
the thread is about my practice, not who created the 24...
well congratulations on being right, and knowing so much about taijiquan.
as being right, and knowing so much, and name dropping seem to be all you care about.
please note, that i never wrote of a "yang" family 24 form.
I wrote of my teacher's "24" which, for whatever reasons he chooses, he adapted from his "108".
please read BLOG for details.

just a number I picked based on a quote, from an unknown source
"fear not the warrior who has learned 10,000 techniques, fear the warrior who has practiced 1 technique 10,000 times"
it should not take too long.
when I get the 108, I will play it 10,000 before moving to the staff, then for the dao.
Thank you Geezer.
I am keeping a detailed paper journal, of course quality and mind intent are key to my progression.
I am also working very closely with my teacher.
my 24 form comes in at just under 3 minutes. so that is a whole lot of minutes.
today I did my 100th, so I feel good about...
Hello,
I am a Yang style taiji player from Colorado.
I have learned my teacher's "24" form, and desire to learn the traditional "108" form.
I plan to play the form 10,000 times, before I move on to the "108".
I will be noting my progress on my school's BLOG...
