Two workshops By MT Hong Yang on Nov. 7-10, 2024 in Carlsbad, CA: Yang 24 with Tai Chi Philosophy and Yang 32 Sword
November 7 @ 9:00 AM - November 10 @ 4:30 PM CST
The main thesis of Hong’s dissertation expressed that studying and embodying Tai Chi is not just learning the sequences of Tai Chi forms. It is long term, continuous study of both parts of “Tai Chi” with Yin and “Quan” as Yang of Tai Chi Quan to fulfill the Tai Chi Symbol (the black and white circle) and improve physical health and flexibility as well as deeply understand the natural rule of balance in life through Tai Chi wisdom and enlightenment.
1. Thursday & Friday, Nov. 7-8: Yang-Style 32 Tai Chi Sword
The Tai Chi Sword practice is a beautiful extension of the essential Tai Chi principles. Since few high-quality sword workshops are offered, Hong Yang will conduct a very special step-by-step Tai Chi sword workshops. She will share the basic sword information for beginners and also offer the depth on details for those who have learned the sword forms. Hong will help you feel comfortable with the sword as an extension of your body. This sword workshop will improve your open hand tai chi and the flow of your chi (Qi) in addition to improving your sword form. During the workshop, Hong will introduce and review the first 8 movements of the Yang 32 form.
2. Saturday & Sunday, Nov. 9-10: Yang-Style 24 Forms
Beginner participants should at least know the first 8 movements of the 24 forms. The advanced participants will learn in-depth skills through Hong’s individualized guidance. As usual, Hong will help participants of different levels, beginners to advanced, during this workshop by separating groups to help everyone improve and embody accordingly.
