Tai Chi
At the mini-convention today, I attended the 9:00 session, which was "The simplified Tai Chi: A Lifetime, Health-Enhancing Activity." The presenters were Dr. Liu and Wei Bian. This activity session was very interesting because I knew nothing about Tai Chi. Dr. Liu did a full 3 minute routine, and it was excellent! Then, everyone in the stands had a chance to go down on the court and practice. We learned the basic steps and pushing-hand movement of the simplified Tai Chi. There were a lot of participants and everyone seemed like they were having a good time. I'm glad that I was introduced to Tai Chi because it can definitely be something new to incorporate into Physical Education classes.

That's so cool! I really wanted to go to that session but I had to be somewhere else at that time for a class. I would love to learn tai chi. Dr Bian came to get fit one day and taught us some basic forms but I would love to learn more. It would be a great way to incorporate a different culture into a physical education class!
