Edmonton Seminar 2011/02/17, 18 i

by Rion Swanson on 2011/02/19

Thank you so much Master Chen and Allan for your time and patient, dedicated teaching over the last two days.

Of the scheduled full week seminar, I was able to attend just the final two days and they were excellent. We worked on foundations with an extra amount of stepping practice. Along with this were Yilu corrections. So much to work on, and really it boils down to how much time  is put in practicing the given corrections…

Thank you again!
