We had our final martial arts class today and I have to say it was fantastic. The music combined with the moves were truly magical. I have never done martial arts before so to encounter it was simply beautiful. I really admire our teacher "Professor Hao." She showed us two types of martial arts during our stay here Kung Fu, and Tai Chi. She showed us exercises that will help improve our breathing and promote a healthy body, mind and soul. She taught us how to follow through with our movements and listen to the music as we "bonded" with it. As I looked around everyone looked so peaceful and calm; it was nice to see. I have always know martial arts to be from China, but I thought it always required "hard" movements, and not an art like it truly is. Martial Arts allow you to showcase yourself in a different form than normally. I really enjoyed this last class and to see everyone else enjoy it put a smile on Professor Ha's face. I am truly grateful for having met her and having the experience of seeing myself and others in a different light.
Attached are some pictures from our last class.
