Description
This 90 minute Advanced Level class is made up of 2 distinct parts.
The first hour is Tai Chi Boot Camp, which focuses on intensive training of foundational Tai Chi skills. This portion of class begins with warm-up exercises (Zhan Zhuang) and drills of fundamental exercises (stepping, kicking, etc) then continues with a deep dive into a Tai Chi principle through focused practice.
The final 30 minutes of class is Dui Lian, a two-person Yang-Style Tai Chi form that serves as the first step toward learning Tui Shou (Push Hands). Students will be divided into two groups, with Group A learning one side of the form and Group B learning the complementary side.
Online students may choose to participate in the Tai Chi Boot Camp portion of the class only, or they may choose to participate in both portions of the class. Online students who choose to study Dui Lian are encouraged to have a training partner learning the complementary side of the form.
Prerequisites
This Advanced Level class is open to students who have completed at least two empty-hand (chuan) forms and one weapons form with Sifu Amin Wu.
