Yang Taijiquan - From Theory to Application - Workshop One

You will learn the movement, layer it with theoretical concepts, application and finally sensitivity and Tai Chi Jing.
Self Cultivation
Utilising Traditional Yang Style movements as the basis for self-development and form understanding..
Theory
Using Yang Chengfu’s 10 Guiding Principles of Practice for theoretical knowledge.
Application
Employing Push Hands as the method for sensitivity and application training.
The course will be conducted by
Sifu James Gao
