Seems that Joanna is playing stealth games……sneaking around my blog leaving replies to old posts. But this is my domain, the one place where I am the master (wordpress really need some martial art type smiles) and I found a reply on a blog that I wrote in January!!! Very nice try Joanna [...]

Moving Slowly In The Right Direction
Posted in Blogroll on March 27, 2007 | 2 Comments »
What a difference a week makes! Well a week to ten days. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster ride the last week or two for me both in my taiji and in my personal life. Some of you might remember that about a week ago I had a bit of a down on [...]
A cautionary tale
Posted in Blogroll on March 26, 2007 | 19 Comments »
Those of you that read on a regular basis, may know that I’m having a little difficulty with a car that I bought on e-bay. This has now been escalated to a Paypal claim as the vendor stopped communicating with me after I sent him a detailed e-mail outlining the money that I have already [...]
Work in progress

I decided to play around with my blog a bit and try and make it a bit more organised and a little more interesting and hopefully useful. I’m trying to get all the links together from previous posts and put them all together in one place for ease of viewing. The wordpress software is a [...]

Tonight I want to dedicate this little bit of my blog to Julie. I know that I have mentioned her before but not nearly enough really. Well al know that Joanna is the star of the show (and when I say show, I don’t mean preformance, we all know there are no tricks in what [...]
Getting out what you put in

Bit of a strange one tonight for me, I’m sure I was at the lesson, but it just seemed that I had left my mind at home. I watched, listened and thought that I understood everything that Julie showed us yet could I repeat it…………. could I heck. The most annoying thig being that they [...]
When in doubt……….panicccccc!

Wow I just checked my e-mail, and got the one from Joanna, giving dates for gradings etc. The first thing that I thought was oh no……it can’t be this soon! When I calmed down and read it again I realise that I have roughly six weeks. That has to be six weeks of quality practice. [...]
Lazy and Over Enthusiastic
Posted in Blogroll on March 13, 2007 | 17 Comments »
My feet that is, seems I have a lazy right foot and my over enthusiastic left one tries to compensate by over turning the 45 degrees that my right foot should have turned! Ah well thank heavens for peoples generosity and large mirrors. The mirrors really helped when it came to sorting out the miss [...]
I’ve been attacked…slapped punched chopped and more but I’m still smiling
Posted in Blogroll on March 12, 2007 | 10 Comments »
To be fair I was the one doing the attacking. Tonight we were learning scoop and wave, I’m sure that most of you have heard this before, but here goes anyway. Apparently a couple of years ago Julie asked Joanna which technique she would teach someone if she only had ten minutes to teach them. [...]
