Short Form

The 60 movement short form in the yang style as devised by Grandmaster William C.C. Chen will be taught. The emphasis is on learning the basic mechanics and relaxation. The short form is the first step to all other classes. Beginners classes will be held on Saturdays but beginners may also attend Sundays or Wednesdays with permission of the Instructor.

Form Corrections

Also taught will be Chi Kung (energy work) exercises such as the Eight Silk Brocade exercises and the Swimming Dragon.
