Cheng Man Ching - the legacy 35th Anniversary of the death of Prof. Cheng Man Ching

Prof. Cheng would have been 108 years of age on 29th July 2010. This years focus will be on Gettin’ the TRUE measure of it all as this has been the most requested across the classes; understanding correct form movement to truly apply form and function. We will work on not just the shape of the postures but the underlying function. We will look at the tai chi classics and apply them to whole body movement, intrinsic strength, kinetic and potential energy, spatial awareness, agility and mindfulness. The weekend is open to all levels and will give everyone a chance to deepen their knowledge and love for the art of tai chi chuan.
