My highly organised training programme is a bit of a joke with my Tai Chi family …. I suppose their training is more spontaneous. I find having a structured approach works for me so I systematically follow a routine. Of course I do let go of it if I need to rest or just do something different. My daily training is two sessions of around 1.5 hours in the morning and 0.5 hour in the evening. Morning is forms/exercises and evening is standing qigong. My morning routine is:
