Something I do daily before & after doing the taiji forms.
Over the years I have combined the 'sink & relax' training that I learned from various teachers into 'walking' improvisation using both sides of patterns from taiji, bagua, xingyi & kalari, tanglang & choylitfut.
Various movements too that I've seen people use when playing racquet sports, cricket, swimming, riding... I've played piano for about 60 years too & know about keeping the spine erect & head balanced, arms & hands loose. I also played cello & bassoon. When I was in high school our hockey team played in the Agrade mens competition. I was left half. So I learned about stick work then. I worked in the NZ railway mopping carriages in 1968 .. stick work with a wet mop on the end. I used hay forks & shovels on farms & on construction sites - more stick work.
