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 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.
