Hi my name is Bob Linde and I am going to show you the next move in the 24 Yang Style Tai Chi set. I have been practicing Tai Chi for about 13 years now. So the next move is actually going to be a kick and so it is actually referred to as kick right. So we have just finished our high pat on horse and basically we are going to go through a series of moves that allows us to get ready for it. So I am just going to do it nice and slow and you should be able to see it from this angle. We bring everything together, we step out, our weight all goes over to our left foot. We bring it all up. Basically we are going to stop at the height that we want to kick from and we kick out. And so it is always nice to actually hold your kick so we can kind of show off to the judges if we are doing a competition form. I want to show you that one more time. We finish the high pat on horse, bring it altogether, step out, and nice and slow control our kick and it is a nice low kick so the martial applications of this are of course very obvious and we are kicking somebody. So enjoy your Tai Chi, make sure you find a good instructor who can safely teach you how to learn the 24 or other forms of Yang Tai Chi.
