Tai Chi Corrections + Sensing Hands & Beginner Sword Part 2 Combination

About This Class

The Tai Chi Corrections & Sensing Hands / Beginner Sword Part 2 Combination 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 Tai Chi Beginner Sword Part 2 class will teach the second 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. Part 3 of the Yang style Sword form will be taught in the Fall semester. Students registering for this class must know the entire Tai Chi solo form and be enrolled in a Corrections level form class.
