In January 2020, Hong Kong Club Tai Chi Group ran part 1 of the 42 sword form workshop. At that workshop, Sifu Susan Berryman taught the first half of the 42 sword form. Due to the lockdown, we were unable to run follow up workshops. In this workshop, Susan will provide a revision to the 1st half of the sword form and will teach new movements to about 3/4 of the form.
The 42 Sword Form is an international standard routine created for competition. It combines elements of Chen, Yang, Wu and Sun style Taiji sword. Preference is given to those who have participated in the part 1 of the workshop and those who have learnt 42 bare hand form. All participants should be experienced Tai Chi practitioners who are familiar with at least two styles of Taijiquan. All participants must complete a sword safety briefing before the workshop and strictly comply with sword safety requirements during the workshop. This workshop should be considered to be an introduction only to the 42 Sword Form. Ongoing practice and refinement is necessary to gain competency in this sword form.
Date and time: Sat 10 July, 9 am - 12 noon
Location: Balwyn Evergreen Centre, 45 Talbot Ave. Balwyn
Fee: $25 (TCG members), $30 (others).
Registration: See below.
