Classes, seminars and lessons
Ongoing Tai Chi and Qigong Class.
All classes are held at the Garage Studio in Sunderland.
In the ongoing classes I teach Qigong, the 108 move Yang-style long form, and Sensing Hands (Jue Shou).
Qigong (chee - gong) exercises are simple yet effective ways of moving the body to improve energy flow and encourage greater health and ease of movement.
The 108 is the solo empty-hand long form:As my colleagues and teachers in Minnesota describe: "This form offers the most comprehensive and detailed study of Taijiquan. Articulation of the hip track and waist movement are examined in a variety of stances and transition steps covering the entire range of natural body mechanics. The length of the form (normal practice takes up to 40 minutes) promotes meditative, conscious moving and also inhibits easy learning. At least one year of continuous study is required to simply learn the sequence properly while lessons received through the practice may last a lifetime." I do agree.Jue Shou is the art of sensing hands: Through connection with a partner, we put into practice the great life lessons from the art of Tai Chi and develop our skills of sticking/adhering, listening, and understanding. These are the pre-requisite energies for further push hands study.
