Northern Yang Style 108

Trying to be a better instructor, I spent about 30 min today looking on the 'net for my Tai-Chi form (Northern Yang Style 108 steps), and I've given up. I think it must be some sort of a sub-form or derivation of a more standard form.

I guess I'm going to have to document it myself at some point.

Here's a start (I learn Tai-Chi from Vinh Tran at Aiki Concepts in Indianapolis, Indiana...the studio these pictures were taken is The Lynda Mitchell Yoga Studio in Bloomington, Indiana):

I originally gave you 3 20s(for the 3 classes you had taught)...did you spend one of them? or lose it?

Howsomever, it's good that you got $40 of it back.
