Key Points to Incorporate in Practice & Teaching

Presented by Justin at Conference

Justin commented on “the power of inner sincerity” upon which TCC is based. As he has often supported, the future of TCC lies with its teachers and he basically encouraged teachers to

Stand for what you’re teaching and continue to improve your TCC and how to teach it. Teachers must think out the method of doing/presenting these things in a way that they and their students are getting the same (intended) result. These principle movement notes were also presented:

1. Keep TCC standardized. Emphasize the pathways described are mostly done with the wrists.

2. TCC is not an upper body movement, though we remember to swivel the waist (such as in the “swimming motion” in Working the Pully).

3. Move in a low TCC stance and yin-and-yanging (y/y) of the legs must be done correctly. Generally the legs are not far enough apart in the y/y. This short stance causes incorrect rocking back and forth, trying to save the knees. It is very important to perform this action properly. DO AND TEACH A LOW MOVEMENT.

4. Develop muscle memory by repetition. You can do it too few times and cannot do it too many.

5. It is not the exercise which is helpful – it’s the flow of the chi. This way the whole organism is effected vs. treating a symptom.
