Don Harradine's Friday night class took on a festive
feel this week. Don and some of the students dressed with
a festive theme and Christmas music was played throughout
The session included Yang Tai Chi Chi Gung, Form, a Tai Chi
Christmas quiz and a Christmas themed Silat Cerita (story telling).
The class broke into teams to test their Tai Chi knowledge with
Don as the quiz master.
The quiz covered a range of topics testing knowledge of Tai Chi history, terminology
and principles.
All teams faired well with Jan's team winning overall.
Don presented the class with a
Christmas themed Silat story for them to deliver.
Silat
Cerita competitors are given a story which they have to turn
into a kind of freestyle form using all the techniques they
learn in their martial arts study.
