The Chinese teachers

The training we did in China was very different to what I was used to. They didn't explain anything in details or what it was for, they showed you the rough shapes. In the first place he didn't teach me so much cos I was a woman, and everything I did was 'very good' (again cos I was a little woman). Being out here has made me understand what skilled teachers Damo and Paul are, I didn't think that any of our teachers we had out here had managed to come to the same level in their training. Some of the chinese teachers we had moved very gracefully and were very bendy though.
I also realised how much I like Yang style. During the first month we solidly trained Hun Yuan Taiji so I didn't have time to do Yang style very much at all. I was very surprised when I started again how much my body had stiffened up! It felt very different just after one month. So I'm very glad I can focus on Yang style as much as I want now.
