The following workshops will be held on Saturday 30/7/22.
1) 42 Sword form (part 3) - Sifu Susan Berryman
Date and time: Sat 30 July, 9am - 3pm
Location: Balwyn Evergreen Centre, 45 Talbot Ave. Balwyn
Fee: $45 (TCG members), $50 (others)
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. In July 2021, Susan conducted part 2 of the workshop which covered movements to about 3/4 of the form. In this workshop, Susan will revise the sword form taught so far and will teach the rest of the 42 sword 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 and 2 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 to the 42 Sword Form only. Ongoing practice and refinement is necessary to gain competency in this sword form.
2) Push Hand Exercise Workshop - Sifu Sam Au
Date and time: Sat 30 July, 9am - 12 noon
Location: Balwyn Evergreen Centre, 45 Talbot Ave. Balwyn
Fee: $30 (TCG members), $35 (others)
Push hand exercise can improve reflex, coordination, cooperation between partners, and, importantly, understanding of force and jing (application of power 懂勁). In this workshop, Sam will introduce single hand and double hand push hand, variations to the standard push hand, stepping push hand, and the more advance Peng Lu Ji An push hand (掤捋擠按推手). Other more advance push hand techniques may be introduced if time permits.
This workshop is suitable for beginners or experienced practitioners.
