Focus
To qualify for taijiquan study, Dan needs to gain more competence with
basic partner work and significantly improve both
his ability to concentrate and his
fitness level.
Too early in the morning? Get up
and train. Cold and wet outside? Go train. Weary of the whole journey and
longing for a moment to stop and rest? Train.
Continue on in the spirit of perseverance.
(Dave Lowry)
