Flow Slow Motion
Teachers should remember that the most important thing with beginning students is to see that they move correctly. Once they learn how to flow slow motion in a dream, there is no problem in teaching them the movements. I hope teachers keep this in mind and concentrate, in the beginning, on getting the students to flow with softness and continuity.

Practice! Practice!
A T'ai Chi Chih® teacher who does not practice him-or-herself is somewhat of a fraud. Personal development is necessary before passing it on to students. My teacher from India said: "Before giving water, make sure you have water to give." This does not apply to most T'ai Chi Chih teachers, who practice faithfully.
