finish, but how and when
Most of the movements, postures and transitions between the postures are flowing into each other. That does not mean, that you can not distinguish between postures, or when one posture is ’finished’ and technically the next one begins. However, it is not all that simple to know when one posture is finished. I try to listen to my breath. Even when you are still moving, the end of the exhale can determine when a posture is finished. Concomitant you find yourself in the posture. Without hesitation, you can go into the next posture, but again, the breath can guide you and help finding flowing movements. I don’t know if this all makes sense to you. It is just my approach to improve my stile. It might help you, but if you have other strategies, let me know. It’s interesting to see the differences in how to learn.
Have a wonderful weekend,
warm wishes,

Hello, If I am interested in this club and want to join, what should I do.
Tai Chi for Health: The 24 simplified forms
In 1956, the Chinese Sports Committee developed a simplified version of Tai Chi Chuan based primarily on the Yang style. This simplified form is a series of 24 forms that can be performed in about five or six minutes. It was designed as an easily learned series of movements that could be used by anyone to improve their health. Today, the 24 Forms are played by Tai Chi Chuan enthusiasts throughout the world. In 2008, the 24 simplified forms will be demonstrated in the openning of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games by a group of 2008 people. My 24 simplified tai chi form book is just listed in Amazon.com under the auther name: Cheng Zhao

For the student who wants to begin studying Tai Chi Chuan, the challenge is learning the forms correctly. Without a qualified teacher, many would-be students are left with incomplete or confusing instructions as to how Tai Chi Chuan is performed. It is the intention of this book and DVD to illustrate and teach how to perform the 24 Forms in a manner that is accurate while being easy and fun to learn. It is hoped that this book and DVD can be not only a self teaching tool, but can also serve as a reference for the experienced Tai Chi Chuan enthusiast.Tai Chi Chuan is a supreme martial art that has become a supreme method of physical, mental, and spiritual exercise. The study of Tai Chi Chuan is the study of life itself. It is a martial art that can be a life art.
