Intro to Chen Tai Chi Chuan

About this event

This is NOT a drop-in class; must sign up for the complete 10-week session.

In the Introduction Class, you will learn the Chen 18 posture form. This form was created by Grand-master Chen Zhenglei. Master Yang Yang explained that form movement served three fundamental purposes:

1. To nurture and build energy;
2. To exercise and continually improve the mind/body connection;
3. To teach the practitioner the mechanics of efficient body movement.

You will also learn a sole push-hand exercise and 10 simple silk reeling exercises. All were created to improve your health, flexibility, and body movement. Those who wish to continue can learn the long form (74 postures), push- hand skills with a partner, over 30 silk reeling exercises, sword, and much more.
