More perfect weather for training today and another lesson from Teacher Liu. Review of the push hands exercises done earlier in the week, and some new lessons on breathing, stepping, looking, and attitude. Teacher Liu has been very generous with the information he has shared and we look forward to incorporating it into our practice.
At a banquet lunch to thank Teacher Liu, he made a gift of a needlepoint tapestry depicting a classical Chinese image captioned "Success Immediately Upon Arrival." Teacher Liu's wife worked for more than 40 hours to create the tapestry.
