Hi. My name's Bob Linde and I'm going to show you the next move in the 24 yang style tai chi set. I've actually been practicing tai chi for about 13 years now. So the last move we did our second creep low like snake. So from here we're going to go to another golden rooster stands on one leg. So we've just finished our snake and we've got our right foot forward, our left hand is back in a little bit of a fingers together. Our right hand is forward. What we want to do is nice and slow and controlled. Come forward and stand up just like we did with our other golden rooster. The left knee is up, the left hand is in a strike or a block and our right hand is down at a block here. What's important to do when you do this move is to do it very controlled and slowly. What we want to avoid is when we do this we don't want to push off with our back foot and come up but come up nice and slow and always balanced and with intention. So remember when you do your golden rooster stands on one legs. On each leg, so we have a nice evenly toned body, we come up with control and intention. So find a good tai chi instructor in your area and enjoy playing tai chi.
