What does Zorba the Greek and a dedicated Tai Chi practitioner have in common?
Passion.
And that’s what will sustain you through your Tai Chi journey.
You need to do a Zorba and put a lot of ‘Oopa’ in your Tai Chi training.
Otherwise you will become a technician without heart.
So enjoy this clip, my favourite scene from ‘Zorba the Greek’ movie (1964), and watch Zorba do his fast form, with passion.
