Sword and Qigong Workshops, Saturday, 10th July 2021

Sword and Qigong Workshops will be conducted on Saturday, 10th July 2021.  

Details are as follows:

42 Sword Form Workshop (part 2) - conducted by Susan Berryman

Date and time: Sat 10 July, 9am - 3pm

Location:         Balwyn Evergreen Centre, 45 Talbot Ave. Balwyn

Fee:                  $45 (TCG members), $50 (others). 

Registration:   See below.

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.

Health Qigong Revision Workshop - conducted by Sam Au

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.  

This workshop will provide a revision to Health Qigong BaDuanJin ( 建身气功八段锦）and Health Qigong YiJinJing (建身气功易筋经）and will include a brief introduction to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) meridian system.  If time permits, other health qigong forms may be practised.  Participants should have some experience with health qigong forms.

TCG 2021 Term 1 Registration

Happy Chinese New Year to you and your families.

Hong Kong Club Tai Chi Group Inc. (TCG) announced previously that 2021 Term 1 was planned to start on Saturday 27 February. Victoria is currently under a five days lock down which will last till midnight Wednesday 17/2/21. At the moment, by acting reasonably early, it looks promising that the Victoria government will be able to control this outbreak. The TCG Committee believes that it is likely that classes can start as planned.

 

Should the coronavirus outbreak be worse than expected, the start of TCG Tai Chi classes may need to be postponed.  This will mean the end of term may need to be pushed back to later in the year.  Therefore, despite the lock-down, the Committee considers that registration for term 1 of 2021 classes can still proceed.

 

Registration is open now. Please refer to the timetable in the 'Classes' tab in this web site for class time and information.  You can select up to 3 preferences and we will endeavour to give you your 1st preference.  If it is not possible we will try your 2nd preference and then the 3rd.
