Wednesday Derby class was good, tai chi class especially seems to be growing quite well.
Thursday was the Nottingham grading for the adults, so it was quite hard work, nearly 3 hours long, although at least with the adults when they display their forms they have to do it by themselves so I get a chance to have a bit of a rest, unlike the kids gradings where I have to lead them through it. Down to catch the very end of tai chi, where we went through the second 2-person stick set. I've only ever done that set in kung fu before, where it has a subtly different emphasis, so a few new nuances to learn there.
A long chat in the pub afterwards with D and R about training and teaching. D is pushing me hard to start my own class this September. While I still have mixed feelings about whether I can commit to it, I'm starting to realise that there will always be some work-related reason why it seems a little risky, so really if I'm ever going to start teaching it might as well be soon...
I'll meditate on it a little while I'm on my hols this week.
Enjoy your hols.
