“Stand tall like a mountain, flow like a great river and learn to play with gravity.”
The first part of this statement is a classical saying associated with Tai Ji while the addition of “learn to play with gravity” is something my teacher in Beijing, Zhang Wei Dong, would add. He never said whether it was his own or something he heard from somewhere else, but to me it always fit perfectly with the classical phrase. Does this statement resonate or inspire you? Does it make you think of any particular part of your practice? I will get started first below in the comments!

I’m very blessed to have an instructor that has studied Sun Style Tai Chi, Sun Style Xing Yi, and Sun Style Bagua. He is a very good instructor and well-knowledgeable. I just started working on Xing Yi 5 elements. Hopefully by the end of next year (2026) I finish memorizing Xing Yi 5 elements with the animal forms and start my Bagua training.

@Kirby Mannon The Wu (Yuxiang) /Hao Style Tai Chi form that I practice. It feels close to Sun Style Tai Chi. It feels very combative, and once you’re done with the form, it feels like you drank a big cup of coffee. We don’t over-lean forward or lean-down or make robotic movements. I have looked up the form on YouTube and found two forms close to it.

Connecting Problem
I can no longer get the 7-Day Challenge to play on my Sony TV. I started by using AirPlay on my iPad and this worked fine up until Day 4. Now I am trying to do the challenge on my iPad. Not ideal. Is there a way I can just contact Root Alchemy directly from my Sony TV? I want to continue beyond the 7-Day challenge but need better access to the course.

1. Make sure your smartphone and Sony TV connected to the same WiFi. 2. Make sure your that Sony TV (YouTube) has the same login as the one on your smartphone. 3. When you start watching the Tai Chi Video on smart phone. There be a symbol on the top right side of your phone. It the first symbol that has 3 lines going to the square. When you press it, it should bring you to the device you want to broadcast onto. Select your Sony Tv and it should broadcast it. I hope this helps you. Stay Rooted 🌱

Silk Reeling is so sic
It reminds me of the calligraphy practice from Buddha Fist (I think it was that film). I'm guessing it's good practice to loosen up the wrist for sword play too? 🙏☺️☯️

I practice Yin Yang silk reeling. You draw out the symbol of Yin Yang with your hands. It kind of reminds me of practicing Tea Cups.

Ocean Stepping
Is there an Ocean stepping video somewhere in the classroom? I cant yet seem to locate a practice where that is demonstrated.

I’m thinking it’s basic Tai Chi stepping.

Regular shoe for the outside and socks for inside the house.
