Always an adventure when Chi'eh teaches, he led today's small class in his usual creative way. After we had done fanyao for one length of the carpet, he asked people how many they were able to do. He then asked us to do the same number of turns, but for the space between two dragon columns! Talk about efficiency! We also worked on doing tenkong holiatui also between two columns. He wanted us to accelerate and jump quickly, rather than waste all the effort of running and then jumping.A fun exercise we did -- we partnered up and faced each other for pushups and then situps. While in the "up" position, we had to slap our partner's hand, much like playing a game of pattycake. And we mixed it up by raising our arms higher and wider.
And would it be a Chi'eh class without handstands, crabwalks and hot potato? So awesome!
