Sword Corrections and Fencing

This class will cover the entire Yang Style Sword form as taught by Professor Cheng Man-ch’ing. Students should already know the choreography of the Tai Chi Sword form.

The class will include a review of the “external” postures, as well as work on applying the “internal” underlying fundamentals practiced in the Tai Chi solo form to the movements in the Tai Chi Sword form. Students will also apply the lessons of “listening, “sticking” and detecting “resistance” (using force) that were practiced in Sensing Hands to their partner work in Sword fencing.

All classes will be held at the Strathmore location on September: 22, 29; October: 13, 20, 27; and November: 3, 10; and December: 8,15 . Classes will not be held on 10/6, 11/17, 11/24 and 12/1.
