Chen Family style Tai Chi Chuan - beginners
Packing for studying at home with grading (so you are filming)
Since you are NOT attending a class in one of our schools you brought your own clothing and
personal items as well as the weapons and tools needed. You likely used a chair for seated
meditation, a table, either smart glasses or a projector attached to a computer, or maybe a DVD
player and a television. A tripod for your camera is a good idea even if someone else is managing
the filming. First things first: turn off the camera, remove its memory card and remind yourself
to recharge the battery (or batteries) just used. Disconnect from the tripod and put the camera in
its bag. Usually, a tripod has its own bag, so if you are storing the tripod, put it away next.
Second, unless you want to watch the video, turn off of the other electronics (television, computer,
projector ...) and, if you were wearing smartglasses, remove them. If you were using a laptop or
phone to help in the recording and it was running in batteries, check if a recharge should be started.
Third, wipe any weapons with a dry cloth and put them away.
Fourth, pack any sweaty clothes and socks in a plastic bag (or take to the laundry). Put on regulars.
Fifth, pack everything else like you packed to start class. We'd suggest emptying the water bottle.
Sixth, if necessary, fold up the chair and table.
