☯ Yang-style Taijiquan 108: Inside and Out
ONE DAY ONLY!
The traditional Yang-style 108 movement bare- hand Taiji routine is what started the modern Taijiquan revolution. This is a chance look at key sequences, movement intent and application. Sam's approach to this form is extremely traditional and highly principled. His work over thirty years with such masters as Yang Zhenduo, Yang Jun, Yang Jwing-Ming, Brien Gallagher, Raymond Chung and others have placed him in a unique position to research and transmit this art. Opportunities to study this form with him are rare and if you ask Sam he will say of the Yang 108, "It's my best thing".

☯ 'Taiji Sword: Play & Qigong' and 'Taiji Jue-jian: Sensing sword 2'
Taiji Sword: Play & QigongThese simple solo and partner exercises help taiji sword players master the movement and energy of the taijijian. Bring a sword.
Sensing Sword 2
Taiji sword is similar to taiji push-hands in many ways. Taiji's zhan-nian jian or 'sticking sword' is simple yet complex and requires the ability to 'listen', 'understand' and 'receive' with the blade.
But just as classical push-hands training is difficult to acquire without an jue-shou or 'sensing-hands' capability, so to is it difficult to master the intricacies of taiji sticking sword without 'jue-jian'.
A metal sword is better than a wooden one for this work.

☯ Peng, Lü, Ji, An: The Root of Taijiquan
Friday: Oct. 22 7-10pm
Jue-shou & 'Peng, Lü, Ji, An'
Sensing-hands provides the basis for an understanding of 'jin', taijiquan's 'intrinsic power'. This evening's class will give taiji players a clear insight into why taiji is the way it is and help provide a foundation for the weekend class to follow. It can be attended by anyone regardless of experience.
Saturday & Sunday: Oct. 23-24 - 10am-5:30pm
'Peng, Lü, Ji, An': The Root of TaijiquanTaijiquan forms and partner practices are based on 'jin': discrete kinetic energies. The four 'square' energies: Peng, Lü, Ji and An are seen most clearly in the 'Grasp Bird's Tail' sequence, the most recognizable of all taijiquan sequences. But what do they mean? Why are they important. This weekend we will explore 'Peng, Lü, Ji, An' through solo and partner work so that we can see them in the context of taiji's traditional energetic theory. (Taijiquan 25 Energies Series #4)
(These classes are appropriate for English & French speakers)

• Forma tradicional de mano vacía del estilo Yang de 108 movimientos • 108 Yang-style Traditional Bare-hand form 2nd half
La
forma de mano vacía de 108 movimientos del estilo Yang tradicional es
el origen de la moderna revolución en taijiquan. Es muy conocida por
todo el mundo y sus variantes son interminables. Este curso coincide
con el 30 aniversario de trabajo e investigación por parte de Sam en
esta maravillosa forma.El enfoque que Sam realiza de la forma es muy tradicional y sobre todo, muy basada en principios. Su trabajo con maestros de la talla de Yang Zhenduo, Yang Jun, Yang Jwing Ming, Brien Gallagher y Raymond Chung entre otros ha puesto a Sam en una posición única para investigar y transmitir este arte. Oportunidades para estudiar esta forma con él son muy escasas y si preguntas a Sam él dirá que "la forma de 108 es mi punto más fuerte".
Este fin de semana trabajaremos la segunda parte de la forma en Madrid. Aunque es aconsejable haber hecho la primera parte, si tienes cierta experiencia te puedes unir a nosotros en la segunda mitad.
