Special Classes
San
Shou -
Saturdays 2:30-3:30 pm, (Part 2, 10 weeks starting June 2).
Pre-requisite:
none (beginner's may join on June 2nd)
San Shou is a
two-person tai chi form that can be
practiced individually or with partner. Master Chu utilized all the
moves from the tai chi form (as well as a few additional moves) when
choreographing this form. By learning and practicing this form,
students can more readily appreciate the meaning of the tai chi
form’s movements. Students also gain experience interacting
with
a partner. While the form is a demonstration form showing the
applications of the tai chi form, it is also a transition form between
the solo form and fighting. Part 1 will take 10 weeks and will be
followed by Part 2, which is another 10 weeks. After this special class
of 20 weeks, San Shou will become a regular class in the weekly
schedule.
Eternal Spring
Improvement, Thursday,
6:30-7:30, (Part 1 is 10 weeks - starting March 22, part 2 begins June 7 and runs 5 weeks - start anytime).
We
are excited to be offereing
this class for the first time. Like the Nei Kung Improvement Special
Class, this 10-week course is designed to help you improve
your
practice. An overview of the theory of chi kung will be given as well
as the way to progress in your training. The entire Eternal Spring
program consists of 24 postures. Focusing on a few postures each class,
we will cover all the exercises - how to do them and how to improve
your practice of them. Classes will include student demonstrations and
critique as well as instructional explanation. Contact the office to
sign up.
