My thanks to all participants for this thoughtful demonstration and expert analysis. I'm much too old to consider training myself but I do find martial arts fascinating to watch.😊

[@WadoRyuBenkyo]

@dalehill6127 never too old, we are all now practicing beefed up taichi and it suites us very well. Glad you enjoyed the video, part 2 will be released next Saturday.

[@dalehill6127]

@@WadoRyuBenkyo Thanks for that.😊 Well, if you were to do a demonstration video of your beefed-up taichi I might have a go at it - I trained Wu style tai chi for a couple of years about 20 years ago and might remember some of the movements. I used to love Single Whip, Needle To Sea Bottom and Wave Hands Like Clouds...😀

@dalehill6127 we call Wado-Ryu Karate Beefed up Taichi :) but I have done TaiChi for many years too.

[@dalehill6127]

@@WadoRyuBenkyo Lol aha, I see! I'm a bit slow on the uptake, sorry about that.😊 As tai chi, I'd say your karate is very beefed up indeed!👍🏻
