“It's not my favorite sculpture in the park, but it is a good filler.”

“The artist, Ju Ming, studied Tai Chi Chuan, the Chinese martial art that originated nearly 1,000 years, and has sometimes been described as moving meditation.”
From the reviews
This larger than life bronze sculpture depicts a faceless Tai Chi practitioner in a basic pose known as Single Whip. The artist, Ju Ming, studied Tai Chi Chuan, the Chinese martial art that originated nearly 1,000 years, and has sometimes been described as moving meditation.
From a distance, this looks like a large abstract work, but when you get closer you see the form the sculptor was going for. I think a lot of people will appreciate the blocky art style. I don't particularly like it, but I do like the clear movement as the practioner bends into a martial arts pose.
Your first tai chi class at Tai Chi Single Whip By Ju Ming
Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.
