My husband occasionally sends out e-mails encouraging students to study harder, explore the tai chi more extensively, read the website and train between lessons. Typically, no one replies.
Hubby is always puzzled why few students really engage with the art and why nobody replies to his e-mails. The answer here is actually quite simple. He's right, and so there is nothing to reply to.
We have succeeded in finding a superior tai chi instructor. Sadly, we are not ourselves superior tai chi students.
