 Thank you Martin and Robert again for a special time together.

We discussed the term "inner", which has different meanings - for example
• the martial art from India is Shaolin (buddhist) and was felt like from outside (the country). Taichi developed in China which felt like inside or inner.
• the knowledge was kept to the inner family circles - relatives and friends.
• it is al about  the core muscles.

We worked from the work book on push hands and investigated the many possibilities around  the first four rotations....and there is still a long road ahead, 15 rotations in fact.  We only touched on primary school level (Chu Ji Ban).
