| Ba Gua Qigong Workshop Friday, September 12 : 7:00 - 9:30pm Ba Gua Zhang, or Eight Trigrams Palm, is an internal martial art with many similar qualities as Tai Chi Chuan. Bagua, however is practiced while continuously walking, and with proficiency you are encouraged to increase speed making it a more rigorous workout. As with its sister art, Bagua consists of philosophical, meditative, and energetic aspects in addition to the combative. In this workshop, we will learn the traditional QiGong set of Bagua. This set is a basic foundation to develop the twisting, coiling, and spiraling energetic patterns of Bagua, as well as coordinate the body to support the corresponding physical patterns. We will also learn the Circle Walking method characteristic of Bagua through its basic foundation form Ding Shi Ba Zhang (Steady Posture Eight Palms). Through this practice, you will learn to assimilate the energies of the 8 trigrams of Chinese Philosophy and begin to understand their physical and martial potentials... This workshop is appropriate for ALL levels. As an introductory workshop, basic elements of the art will be taught, and those interested in further training can be accomodated through ongoing lessons. The cost of this workshop is $35, or $135 for the 5-part series of Bagua Workshops (click here for more information on the Bagua series) |
