That is a great way to get a kid's class going! How many necks have you broken with that technique?

I break necks with that move all the time.
I wasn't teaching.
And the point was that some of the students were waving their hands around with no clue. And the person teaching wanted them to understand where they were supposed to apply force.
I'll make sure not to say that a hook punch can break a jaw though.
Anyway, just sharing a funny story in reply to the post about teaching tai chi to kids and making things fun for them.
Or you could just scare the parents off.
All the moves can be taught to kids.
but lower the intensity.
No power issuing.
But posturing allowed.

First day in class.
Daughters of a current student.
4 and 8 years old.
This was play time after doing line drills, basic punches, stretch kicks, and jump kicks.

According to the 4 year old, kung fu was the best part of the day.
