Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Student(s) will be introduced to the historical background of taijiquan, its many styles (Yang, Wu (2 Wu styles, Chen and Sun style) and the yangsheng tradition, encompassing postural and exercise elements of training.
Zhanzhuang/Taijizhuang is the beginning element of basic practice and training which entails standing in static posture(s) for an extended period of time to balance the body and have the student aware of postural inequities of the musculoskeletal system. This lasts 3 months and is mandatory for all new students since this is the beginning training phase of taijiquan
Next phase is individul posture trainiing (3-6 months) where the students learns basic postures and when this is dome, the form sequence is taught. Form sequence is about 6-9 months while stating that this depends on the student. The main practice is the Yangsheng Tradition involving elements of neigong (as opposed to the martial origin) where heath and wellness within a neo-Daoist paradigm, is on par with allowing the body to return to homeostasis.
