Breathe Out As You Ward Off

This was new to me. For years, when I practiced another type of Tai Chi, I had been taught to breathe in with the ward off. I remember really struggling with that concept back in the day, but I had learned to do that in form training, while in application/fighting and sparring I always naturally breathed out upon exertion of force.

So, while relearning the form yesterday, I had to "work" at doing the form motions correctly and had to keep reminding myself to "breathe out as you ward off." Just sharing the things that I feel are important for me to remember and relearn. Hopefully, you find this useful as well!
