One of the biggest mistakes all Tai Chi beginner students make when learning Tai Chi is moving too much. If you approach Tai Chi movements like other forms of exercise with mind and muscle control, you are doing it wrong. In this video, Shifu Shirley provides clear and simple guidance on how to tell if your arms are relaxed and how to connect your whole body together in movements. These are not your grandma’s Tai Chi lessons. Watch to see how D&D, a drunk friend, lasers, and Newton’s cradle all get incorporated into a Tai Chi lesson.
