Real Taiji Quan

• Hey Taijiquan Practitioners….

For various, personal reasons, I feel compelled to offer Real Taiji at a very low cost. This is a potent martial and healing art. I want to show you why it was once The Supreme Ultimate Fist. And I want you to see why it’s so good at health, healing, and longevity. Get a grip.

Each Real Taiji Workshop offers different kinds of immersion in fighting training, healing work, and health  development (check out the workshops); all include…

• Powerful Breathing Exercises
• Intense Body Actions (most workshops will leave you feeling worked, whatever your experience level)
• Details of Internal Motions

Tai Chi Chuan promises great martial and healing powers by developing soft skills. Tai Chi teaches relaxation and grounding. As we explore relaxation, we learn to release excess tension. We notice that too much tension drains strength, upsets balance, slows our wit, and seems silly.

We own a number of methods, in the internal arts, that examine and develop soft skills. We use forms. We practice Qigong. We engage in pushing-hands and sticky-hands. We combine these practices; by applying Qigong stillness to slow down our forms or by pressing and pushing on Qigong or Tai Chi postures, we go deeper. We learn more about excessive tensions, and release them. We discover relaxed, sinking balance. We notice easy, winding motions.
