Come meet Master Tsao in person! He will teach three workshops during his Europe visit on the following topics (plus a Push Hands workshop Saturday, May 23rd in Annecy, France):
Topic One: Qigong (Chi Kung) & Self-Healing Aspects in Your Tai Chi Practice
This will be a hands-on workshop for you to learn how to balance the yin and yang in any tai chi or Qigong posture and focus the mind on specific energy points and channels to activate your inner energy flow. You will understand the basic principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine in relation to proper body alignment of your postures, for the purpose of integrating Qigong and self-healing applications in your Tai Chi practice. Tai Chi as a healing art has so much to offer, but its potential is rarely realized in practice. Master Jesse Tsao will provide you with insightful explanations for many of the deep principles essential to your advancement in Tai Chi and Qigong study.
Topic Two: Internal Martial Arts & Self-Defense Aspect in Your Tai Chi Practice
The internal martial arts systems develop internal essence and energy first, then expand to the external body. The external systems emphasize skin, bone, and tendons, then gradually move inside. In self-defense, Tai Chi follows the opponent's movements rather than using hard blocking. Redirect your opponent's force to lead him into an off position, and then strike him back. This will be a hands-on workshop for you to learn Tai Chi's self-defense applications and to understand why people once called it "supreme ultimate boxing!" Based on the Tai Chi Classics, Master Jesse Tsao will reveal the mystery in a simple and practical way. You can gain insights into the deeper principles of practice for dynamic progression in your Tai Chi's martial art aspects.
