Program: Tai Chi Chuan - Classical Temple Style Tai Chi
Integrating History, Fundamentals, Chi Flow, Applications & Meditation
Who Should Attend? Why?
In "Tao Te Ching", Lao Tsu gave us the first Tai Chi Manual. We'll introduce "Nine Nights" to the group. Then we'll Open with Standing Meditation and History. This course will teach the Cardinal (basic) Forms of Classical Tai Chi, but in a very comprehensive way. First a demonstration, then the fundamentals explained, and coached so you get every detail. Then a discussion of Chi Flow before you practice individually. Next, the Martial Application Demo and Partner Practice. If you're a beginner, this is for you! If you're an old hand, this will enhance your understanding! This is Tai Chi Chuan: Body, Mind and Spirit! When it's over, you take home your notes booklet, a "Chi Shirt", Completion Certificate and Access Codes for viewing the session video. Of course, you might have some fun and meet a few more friends as well.
