The other day someone close to me said "summer is almost over".  I was taken aback because we have just celebrated July 4th.  But in truth summers do fly by and while summer is a time for relaxing and vacationing and kicking back we cannot forget the importance of our tai chi chuan (taijiquan) practice.  Practice what you know . . Patience and Practice is very important.  A month ago I challenged any student who would accept to pick one tai chi Form, either empty hand or weapon and do it every day at least once for a month.  I have gotten some excellent feedback about how this practice has touched your every day experience.  I will be looking for more responses from students about their experience.  Not to worry if you missed a day or two throughout the month but how has the routine practice made a difference?
