Transitions from One Motion to the Next

During my training sessions, I find it difficult to go from one movement to the next. For myself, the difficulty lies in the weaknesses in my foundation (i.e. weakness in my quads/fatigue and weakness in my lumbar area). Shifu will often admonish me during transitions for allowing my posture to collapse. Compensations in stance/posture will clearly diminish the effectiveness of Tai Chi movement as well as cause us to lose grace and correct execution of technique. Best thing to do at this point is to pause for a few minutes, to allow some rest, and then... resume practice! More practice!
