Day 7

Mr. Brooks was out the day teaching his other students. I stayed at home and practiced for three hours in total over the course of the day. I can feel my body getting stronger and strength building up.
I was reading the Yang Family Secret Transmissions it is in a sense Mr. Brooks bloodline of beign passed the skills of tai chi. Most importantly i read that you must practice faithfully for three years to see results. "Ta-chi ch'aun was not created merely to brawl with ruffians. Rather, the Immortal, Chang Sang-Feng, invented this soft martial art as an aid to maintaining good health. Those who are interested in health and self-discipline, eliminating illnesses and lengthening years, whether men of letters, in poor health, as well as old people, the young and the women, all may study. We might say that the key to health and self-discipline lies in following and preserving weakness"

There is no clear studies done with disease and in more concentration on kidney disease that tai chi has the influence of repairing and rejuvenating. I believe it is quite clear that it has some subtle energies to it that are unknown to the people who are not involved but are known to the people practicing faithfully.
