The 3 Biggest Challenges to Advanced Tai Chi Skills – Part 2 of 3 – Ji Hong Tai Chi Mississauga

Tai Chi is performed slowly not because it is for old people.  It is a common misconception that many people hold.  Instead, performing movements slowly is a unique and powerful training technique that integrates our mind fully with our body.

The 3 Biggest Challenges to Advanced Tai Chi Skills – Part 2 of 3

Slowing down is challenging. It’s like placing a microscope over each and every little detail of our movements. It forces our mind to slow down and become acutely aware of every moment of the movements performed.  Any missing details or information about a movement surface so that they become exaggerated and exposed causing us to forget to prepare for the next move.

The 3 Biggest Challenges to Advanced Tai Chi Skills – Part 1 of 3

Once we’ve learned all the moves, we start to apply advanced tai chi movement concepts.  When we start to learn and apply advanced concepts, repetition alone is often not enough to continuously raise our skill level. Instead, a deeper understanding of principles and using effective training methods combined with the correct mindset is necessary to get beyond the first learning plateau which many tai chi students reach before being able to start acquiring advanced tai chi competencies.

Maintaining the Garage Floor During Winter — Nuvo Garage

Depending on the type of garage flooring in your garage, there will be slightly different methods of cleaning the garage floors. If you have a bare cement garage floor, the regular collection of snow, salt and sand will likely cause pitting, cracking and other damage. A polyaspartic garage floor coating will protect the floor and ease the care and maintenance of the garage floor. Get a garage renovation to remove moisture from cement and apply a garage floor coating.
