COMBO: Corrections & Sensing Hands / Beginner Sword Combination

Corrections & Sensing Hands / Beginner Sword Combination*

9:00 am – 11:30 am

Fee:  $475

This class will cover the entire 37 postures Tai Chi form as taught by Professor Cheng Man-ch’ing. Students must already know the choreography of the Tai Chi form.

The Corrections form part of this combination class will include a review of the “external” postures, as well as work on the “internal” underlying fundamentals of how movement happens in Tai Chi. In the Sensing Hands portion of the class students will work cooperatively, rather than competitively. Students will develop their ability to “listen” and “stick” to their partner’s movements. They will also learn to detect “resistance” in their partner’s movements, as well as in their own.

The Beginner Sword portion of this class will teach the first section of the Yang Style Sword form as taught by Professor Cheng Man-ch’ing in a posture by posture format covering roughly one new posture each week.

The subsequent sections of the Yang style Sword form will be taught in the Summer and Fall semesters.
