Depth of Yang 24 Forms Workshop
The 24 Forms was created in 1956 by the Chinese National Sports Committee to popularize tai chi. Today it is the most popular set in the world. It contains all the key principles of tai chi with special features of Yang Style. Dr Paul Lam has extensive experience on this set. He has worked with well-known experts including the main creator of the 24 Forms - Master Fu Zhong Wen.
In this workshop, Dr Lam will go through each form in detail to explore the depth and inner meaning. You will be working towards the ultimate purpose of tai chi; to cultivate your qi most effectively and enjoyably, converting it to Jing and using the process to generate more Qi. He will also provide points of improvement and direction to develop your tai chi.
During the workshop you will have time to share with Dr Lam's 48 years of tai chi experience and Chinese culture relevant to tai chi improvement. You will learn how he incorporates up-to-date medical knowledge to make tai chi more powerful for health and wellness.
At the completion of the workshop you will understand the sets more deeply, find a clearer path to progress in your tai chi and gain more enjoyment from your practice.
