Hi Tim,

I am wondering if you ever have problems remembering all the forms and drills you have learned? I know that teaching and training seven days a week must keep you in top shape, but if someone walked in and wanted to do some private lessons Zhao Bao Taiji could you demonstrate and explain the form and traditional drills on the spot? Do you ever slip into Sun Taiji when you are teaching the Yang long form?

I know you focus on the "essence" of the arts, but you also teach the traditional forms and stuff so it must be hard to know so much :-)

Hi Richard,

The traditional systems that I teach, I have practiced enough they are internalized.

Yes, if you asked me about Zhao Bao Taiji I could demonstrate the forms and drills on the spot, with Rainman-like precision.

I somehow never confused the systems when I teach.

Thanks Tim.

Just more evidence that Tim Cartmell is super-human and none of us should feel bad for not being able to come close :-)
