Do as many forms as you can in 20 minutes, no breaks no repeats.

Choose 1-3 forms to practice super slo-mo, maxing out your stances.


TAI CHI – 20-30 minutes/day
Monday: Focus on your breathing. Feel the body expand and contract with each breath.

Tuesday: Focus on your footwork. Where is your weight, how and when do you pivot or step?

Wednesday: All about the waist. Connect lower body with upper via the waist and hips. Get loose!

Thursday: Inner vision. Practice with eyes closed or unfocused.

Friday: Play with speed. Try light and lively. Try super slo-mo. How slow can you go? How does that feel?

Saturday: Empty the mind. Just feel whatever is happening and let go of gripping and control.
