It is sometimes said that your practice becomes more potent around the Solstice time. It feels like it does. I like the idea of the Earth reaching the end of one cycle and the beginning of the next - just like the moves in tai chi.

Here are a couple of films of San Shou. There's me doing it solo and the partner version is  with Kate Dixon.Sometimes known as the Tai Chi Dance or Fast Form, the San Shou is a great, great practice. It’s is a choreographed movement piece with 2 sides/forms, which are played and enjoyed solo. The two sides fit together to create a continuous two person flow or ‘dance’ that is martial application in movement....open, close; full, empty; yin, yang; yield, attack. I like to think of it as poetry in motion ... there are 4 weekend meets scheduled for for 2018 - see events
