| SATURDAY Class in LONDON (1st Saturday of the month) There is a Saturday class at The Abbey Community Association taking place once a month, and the one on Saturday 5th JULY will again offer a choice: PUSHING HANDS (Yang style Double) or the YANG 16-STEP SWORD FORM & 2-PERSON SWORD FORM If you have never done either Pushing Hands or a Sword Form before, you won't find it a problem to come along for this session as it will be geared to all levels. In the Sword Class, from 10.00-12.00pm will be spent on the 16-Step Sword Form, and from 12.00-1.00pm on the 2-Person Sword Form - the latter with a view to looking at the applications of the sword. In the Pushing Hands we will in particular be looking at sinking energy, grounding, opening and closing the body/centre, and feeling & sensitivity. This month the course will focus on Yang Style Double Pushing Hands. Those of you who would like to try the Sword can borrow a sword if you need one (please let me know if you need to borrow one); you will be learning the whole Form in the 3 hours. TIME: 10.00am to 1.00pm, with a short break in the middle. VENUE : The Abbey Community Association, 34 Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3BU.

| BEGINNERS CLASSES The 1st class of all the Beginners courses is a 'Trial Session'. In this class there will be an explanation of what taiji is, as well as the various reasons for doing it. It is also the class in which we start to learn the Taiji Form, and is therefore worth attending, even if you think that you know why you would like to learn taiji. This class can be paid for as a 'one-off'. |
|
| BOOKING Re. booking, there are a couple of options: 1) If you would like to enrol for only the trial session (i.e. the 1st class of the course), please send a cheque for £5 to the address below. 2) If you know that you would definitely like to do the entire course, please send a cheque for the full amount to the address below; this will guarantee you a place. Cheques should be made out to 'Taiji Ltd.', and should be sent to: Taiji Ltd. (bookings) 55 Huntingdon Road, East Finchley, London N2 9DX. On the back of the cheque please write (1) your name (including first name), (2) your email address, and (3) which class you'd like to attend. Then I'll be able to email you a receipt, and get you on the right class list. If you're able to help by putting up an A4 poster at work, please let me know - it's on a Word document, so it's not a huge file. |

| WHAT TO WEAR . . . . Please wear loose comfortable clothing, and shoes that are as flat as possible. |

| NEW DVD by Simon Watson There is an excellent new DVD by Simon Watson on the market. This is not the usual 'forms' DVD, but is about understanding 12 individual postures from the t'ai chi forms, many of which are common to other styles of t'ai chi. The DVD shows in detail how to perform the movements correctly (from many different angles), and in addition demonstrates some applications. The quality is excellent, and the entire DVD is very clear and well-presented in its instructions, with information that you rarely find outside a class, and rarely on recorded material. For DVD Extracts: Click Here If you are interested in a copy of this extremely well-produced DVD, which is 3.5 hours long, I have a number of copies that I am selling for the reduced price of £15 (+p&p if applicable). The usual price is £19.99. |
