Workshop 08/06/2024

There will be two separate workshops on Saturday 8th June conducted by our two senior instructors.

 

Bafa Wubu of Tai Chi, Eight Methods and Five Steps ( 太极八法五步 ) – Sifu Raymond Au

 

Tai Chi "Eight Methods and Five Steps” is based on the core commonalities of the five schools of Tai Chi - Chen, Yang, Wu, Sun and Hao. It incorporates the eight techniques of Tai Chi, Ward off, Roll back, Press, Push forward, Pull down, Split, Elbow strike and Lean, as well as the five steps of Advance, Retreat, Guarding, Looking Forward and Determination.

 

** This workshop is suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners.

 

Time: 9am to 12pm    Cost: Members $55, WTQA members $55, Non-members $65

 

 

Yang Shi Tai Chi Fan 36 – Sifu Susan Berryman

 

The 36 form Yang Style Tai Chi Fan has inherited traditional fan skills and possesses the basic characteristics of the Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan. It is smooth, graceful, slow and even paced. It has a rich content and simple structure and its movements are from simple to complex. The routine calls for the fan being guided by consciousness, an integration of body and fan. It enhances physical fitness and cultivates pleasant temperament in today's fast-paced life.

 

**This workshop is suitable for students who practice Yang style Tai Chi, 18 Tai Chi Fan or any other Tai Chi Fan routines.

**It is also suitable for those who had practised this form in the past and would like to refresh their skills.

 

Time: 9am to 12pm    Cost: Members $55, WTQA members $55, Non-members $65
