| The form charts attached here can be a helpful aid to memory when practicing outside class. These are not a substitute for direct instruction in class. In fact, they probably will not make any sense at all, if you haven't already learned the forms. Always keep in mind that no physical skill can be really learned from a book or video presentation, whether that is dance, tai chi, judo, golf, weight-lifting or whatever. As we read in The Poem of Thirteen Postures, "Students must have oral instruction to enter the gate and be guided." |
