Hun
Yuan Gong
The Hun Yuan Gong set combines
Taoist internal alchemy and martial Qigong methods in an extremely
effective and elegant system. This set is designed to combine prenatal
and postnatal qi to supplement the essential qi of the body.
Tuesdays 9:00 - 10:30
AM
Thursdays 6:00 - 7:00 PM
Saturdays 9:00 - 10:00 AM
Chan
Si Gong
The Chan Si Gong set specifically
develops silk reeling energy, a kind of spiral movement connecting
through the entire body. Chan Si Gong builds internal power and
cultivates the eight energies. In addition to promoting good health,
these movements all have practical martial applications.

AM
Tuesdays 6:00 - 7:00 PM
Thursdays 7:00 - 8:00 PM
Fang
Song Gong
Fang Song Gong (Relaxing Gong) is one of the sets
from the Hun Yuan Taiji system. Fang Song Gong is a seemingly very
simple method of Qigong but the effects of continued practice are
profound. Originally a secret set it has only recently been made
public.
Wednesdays 6:00 - 7:00
PM
Chen
Style Xinyi Hunyuan Taiji Quan
The hallmarks of Chen Style
Taijiquan are variation in speed, alternating soft and explosive
movements, and a kind of spiraling movement known as chan si jin
(silk reeling enegy). Emphasizing lower stances and a more energetic
performance, Chen Style has forms suited for both beginning and
advanced practitioners.

Ba
Gua Zhang
Ba Gua Zhang, like Taiji Quan,
is comprised of a comprehensive system of internal martial arts
and meditative practices. Ba Gua Zhang is philosophically related
to the Yi Jing, or "Book of Changes". In its basic practice,
special stepping techniques are used to walk a circle, while various
coiling methods are used to change direction around the circle.
Ba Gua Zhang is as difficult to learn as it is beautiful.

Push
Hands
Push hands is a system of
two person exercises that develop "listening" ability
and continue to develop the internal energies cultivated in the
Taiji quan form. These skills, developed in the solo forms, are
expanded in push hands to include another person. Push hands is
the basic training for martial application in Taiji quan.

Alexander
Technique
The Alexander Technique is
a simple and practical method for improving ease and freedom of
movement, balance, support, flexibility, and coordination. Its principles
coincide with Taiji's first principle of "empty the neck so
the intrinsic energy can reach the top of the head." Practice
of this technique helps refine and heighten kinesthetic awareness.
This class is suitable for beginners and advanced practitioners
alike.
Wednesdays 10:00 -
11:00 AM
Youth

to develop dexterity, awareness, coordination and strength. Participants

and tiger as well as martial arts training exercises and forms.
