Tai Chi for health & wellbeing
It’s been a very hectic two weeks! I’ve probably made over 200 telephone calls and sent numerous emails to primary school teachers regarding our ‘Pozitive Kidz are happy kidz’ workshops.
I’ve managed to book some workshops and programs, but it’s been very difficult to get most teachers to answer the phone even after several attempts.
Why?
Because teachers with spare time are an extinct species.
Well, it’s that time of the year.
The school term has started and teachers are buzzing around getting things ready; parents are dropping off and picking up their excited (or crying) children from school.
And I’m busy contacting primary schools and booking my ‘Pozitive Kidz are happy kidz’ workshops.
I enjoy running these workshops because it’s fun, energetic and challenges my presentation skills, as I have to adapt according to the age of the children.
For example, when I work with the preps (5-year-olds) I become more animated, use clear and simple language and use my props and toys to reinforce key themes.
When I let go of what I am, I become…Lao Tzu
Here is a short clip showing the late master Cheng Tin Hung in 1986 demonstrating ‘Step Back and Repulse Monkey’.
I’ve been practicing this technique, left and right side, and wasn’t aware until now there are two more applications – against a reverse punch. That’s a total of four applications for ‘Step Back and Repulse Monkey’.
