Daily walking and how to benefit from Tai Chi

 "𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐬" 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. Classical Tai Chi (a moving Qigong) NY & Ca. Sifu and certified teacher since 2003, Jim Roach:  Each Tai Chi style of 4 I did since 1976 (as Wu Family disciple and teacher too) did not do this, but with Master Stephen Hwa since 2003, I do. Excellent video and editing on how modern-day homo sapiens walk. My understanding of Australopithecus afarensis makes me think their strong musculature in the core contributed much to how old walking is described in this video. I also understand that they could throw rocks very well and, in large groups, defend themselves from predators and take down prey. Throwing rocks very well was undoubtedly attributable to the core dexterity and strength discussed in the Sports and Tai Chi videos on Youtube. One thinks a 12-year-old kid has that strength and agility. In contrast, their Dad, in older age, could not throw a baseball as fast because of (Uncovering the Treasure quote) "...internal rigor mortis...".

Master Hwa in Uncovering the Treasure, p. 66: Once, I was giving a workshop and teaching attendees the Tai Chi walk, and one person said, "Oh, this is how tribal people walk." I wonder if all humans walked like this while we humans were still living in an unpaved world. If we didn't, we would all be limping due to stepping into a hole in the grass or slipping on the mud flats."
