Since I don't have a teacher, maybe I should do silk-reeling for the moment. How many reps and sets should I do per side? Should this be done daily? Thanks.

it sounds like a cop out but - as long as you like! 5 minutes or an hour, whatever works for you, no limit to how much you can train the basics as long as you're doing other activity to balance it out. there's lots of silk reeling content on our site too, we might add a bit more in due course: taichi.school/courses/foundation/silk-reeling
