T'ai chi

After a failed attempt in Xi'an, took a tai chi class on the Kowloon pier in Hong Kong with mr. William Ng. T'ai chi ch'uan (literally "Supreme Ultimate Fist" and also referred to as Shadow Boxing) is a type of internal Chinese martial art practiced for both its defense training and its health benefits. While enjoying the skyline of Hong Kong Island, tried to master a sequence of poses with beautiful names such as "bird showing its wings" or "moving the clouds". It is much more difficult than it looks - sort of "moving yoga" actually. It is obvious that I need a bit more practice...
