Tai Chi Silk Reeling Workshop Part 3 (In-Person)

518 Boston Post Road,Orange CT 06477

12 December, 2021

Description

“Store the jin like drawing a bow. Mobilize the jin like pulling silk from a cocoon. Release the jin like releasing the arrow.” Continued. On Dec 12 at 1PM we will be conducting Part 3 of the silk reeling workshops. The third Silk Reeling workshop will build on the last two workshops. To date, we learned the two basic circles and body connections. We then drilled them in various combinations on different plains. We will take the next step in the December workshop, literally! We will be adding stepping to the silk reeling patterns. With moving steps, we will develop our awareness of weight transitions and the three external harmonies as we continue using the patterns we have learned. You will start to see more and more direct relationships to the forms you are learning. All are welcome! You do not need to have taken Part 1 & 2 of the workshop to attend this workshop. Everyone who signs up for this workshop will receive a link to a prior silk reeling workshop video taught by Shifu Bob Shannon to gain familiarity with silk reeling concepts. Hope to see you at the workshop! This workshop is taught by Shifu Bob Shannon, head instructor of Chen style tai chi at Aiping Tai Chi Center. Shifu Bob Shannon has won numerous gold medals for Chen style tai chi in national and regional competitions. This workshop is designed for ALL Levels. Beginning students can jump start their tai chi study by gaining familiarity of important fundamental concepts. Advanced students can improve their tai chi by deepening their understanding of tai chi principles.
