Taiji at Amsterdamse Bos

Last February, in a cold and windy Saturday afternoon, I decided to go to Amsterdamse Bos (The Forest of Amsterdam), along with my daughter Cecilia, to shoot some photos to be published on Internations.nl’s platform. One of the organizers had kindly invited me to give a Qi Gong workshop for the members of this association.

I felt honoured and decided I needed more recent photos. Then the decision to go to Amsterdamse Bos. I had to push myself out in the cold Northern European winter, I really didn’t want to face such a freezing wind. And I had to push my daughter as well…

These were the result of the photo shooting.

I feel happy and proud I was able to push myself and proud of my daughter Cecilia who was able to catch the right magic light!

Competing in Utrecht

Competing is always a positive decision.

I wanted to share some thoughts about this important decision.

First of all, I think everybody  competes with themselves, their fears and limitations. Thus, deciding to compete means conquering these fears.

Second, the competition represents an effective way to reach a certain goal such as  higher skills in  performing a form. To do so discipline is required!

Third, during the competition you get to know many other martial artists. This is a nice way to explore and engage with the Martial Arts’ community.

Last but not least, after your performance is over and the jury shows your score, you must accept it with humbleness, either you agree with it or not. It’s part of the game.

This happened to me when I competed for Modern 42 Combined Hand Form, in Utrecht, The Netherlands, on Saturday, November 11.

Below you can  watch the video that my friend Marijke shot for me that day.

 

Mission accomplished!

achievement, commitment, practice

Dear Tai Chi lovers,
today is a special day because my students Doris, Mary and Sofia, after few months of consistent commitment in their practice, got to the end of 24 Yang style hand form.
I am very proud of their achievement! Congratulations!
Knowing a whole form is a big resource for enhancing your internal strength.
Don’t stop practicing!
