In this class we work on the Yang 24-Step Tai Chi Form.  This is a 'standardised' set of movements that is performed in the same way throughout the world. We also occasionally look at the 'applications' of the movements - how they can be used for self-defence in a gentle non-confrontational way. This is a 13-week term.

* Notes on the Wudang Taiji Sword Class Both the Monday 6.05pm class in Euston, and the Thursday 6.35pm class in Sevenoaks will be continuing the Wudang Taiji (Tai Chi) Sword. The set of movements falls into ‘Sections’ and we have only done sections 1 & 2 (out of 6). If you’d like to join, we will be mainly working on the 2nd & 3rd Section but will also constantly be revising Section 1. It’s therefore not too late to join. This uses the double-edged sword (‘jian’), and if you’d like to try the class out you are welcome to borrow a sword. We’ll be taking time in getting through the set of movements, and if you’ve never tried any weapon form before, this is a great one to try out to expand your repertoire. The Wudang Taiji Sword Form is a lively form with both slow and fast movements. This is a 13-week term.

* Notes on the Taiji Fan Form Class This is a short 18-Move Tai Chi Fan Form.  It is graceful, fun to do, and uses all the principles of Tai Chi. We are also doing a set of Qigong exercises in this class. This is a 13-week term.

In this class you will learn the Yang 10-Step Tai Chi Form. This is a 'standardised' routine, in other words it is performed in the same way throughout the world. We are also doing a set of Qigong exercises for the health of the internal organs. This is a 13-week term.
