These include beginners' classes to learn the 37 posture Cheng Man-ching hand form (Wednesday and Thursday mornings). And more advanced classes, that have been running longer, to study and refine the hand form (Monday and Wednesday evenings). In each class we will begin with some warm ups based in qi gong, and then learn the form.
It is recommended that you wear comfortable loose fitting clothing, and flat soled shoes if you have them (tai chi slippers are ideal but not essential). When students have learned the Cheng Man-ching form and would like to deepen their practice and learn sensing hands and Da Lu (moving step sensing hands), the evening classes and monthly Partnerwork class provide this progression. Currently there is a partner work and sword study class on Monday evenings, an introduction to sensing hands and sword class on Wednesday evenings, and a monthly partner work class on the last Sunday of each month. |
