complete each move
This group is for beginners, interested in learning some basic taiji (or Tai Chi) moves and forms.
This is an exercise group, not a performance group. The goal is to begin to feel energy flowing through your body. You should expect that every individual will do the moves a bit differently, as is appropriate for their own body's strength, balance and range of motion.
As you get comfortable with some moves, terminology and basic forms you may want to join either Master Tam's or Sifu Judy's group for "fine tuning," to learn longer forms, sword or fan, or if you are interested performing.
We'll start with:
Ba Fa - Wu Bu (8 arms, 5 directions)
8 Forms
13 Forms
and some QiGong exercises
to increase strength, balance and mobility.
