Yi and chi and doing as Sifu says

So, apparently I have been training incorrectly since I began... Due to my previous training, i was used to using my intent to will fully lead my chi. In other words i focused on a certain action or direction to move in order to PUT my chi there. I thought this was the right way, but Sifu had said from the first lesson that we set up the conditions and the chi knows what to do.

I'm practicing some of the material that Sigung covered in the workshop as well as some of what I could remember for the Student Level 1 test. Sifu, if it's okay, I would like to try and test in the Spring. I'm not sure if that means I need to have completed Stages 1 & 2 by then, but I pretty much want to go all in ILC. Any Taiji classes that I have to teach for the remainder of what I hope will be a long career in Internal Martial Arts and Rehabilitation will have the philosophies and principles from the Chin Family martial arts injected into them.
