Chan Si Gong Silk Reeling Energy is considered to be the alphabet of Taiji. It enables both knowledge and progress in Taiji to be realised. Chen Si Gong develops inner strength through the circulation of our Qi.

Like the unreeling of the delicate silk thread from its cocoon, Qi circulation must be smooth and unbroken. Understanding the Qi path within our bodies combined with correct postures together are vital to the proper practice of Taiji.

The importance of this concept and the correct postures will be explained and shown demonstrating how to get the Qi circulating smoothly.

   
     
   

Yi Lu Laojia

Chen Taiji Long Form

2.30pm - 5.30pm

Saturday 28th June
10.45am - 12.45pm
2.30pm - 5.30pm

Laojia Yi Lu Laojia is the original Taiji Long form as practiced in the Chenjiagou village. All of today’s major styles can trace their origin to this old form.

The form is not just a series of movements but a methodical way in which to learn the Taiji principles and techniques. How to sink and concentrate the Qi in the Dantian. How to mobilise for use, the balance between hard and soft, fast and slow movements. These cannot be learnt from books, videos or discussions but must be experienced through demonstration and instruction with a master.

This is an opportunity to learn by feeling, seeing, listening and experiencing postural corrections with Grand Master Chen Xiao Wang.

   
     
   

Tui Shou
Pushing Hands

Friday 27th June
7.00pm - 9.00pm

  In the Taiji form, we learn about ourselves and our own strength. Through pushing hands we learn about our opponent and how to control the situation.

Using the principles of Taiji to overcome a strong opponent requires skill of both mental and physical techniques. The pushing hands exercise is an essential process to both acquire and develop these skills.

This seminar aims to cultivate both self-awareness with sensitivity to respond and reflect a persons strength accordingly through the practise of Pushing Hands.

The seminar is suitable for all.
