Class Types

Handform (Dao Chuan)

  • Learn the fundamental Tai Chi postures, movements, footwork and transitions.
  • Practise moving smoothly without unnecessary tension, coordinating the whole body.
  • Develop balance, flexibility and control through complex movements.
  • Slow, controlled practice combines movement with natural, regulated breathing and is regarded as beneficial to health.
  • The movements are not merely choreography; they contain the techniques and principles that are later applied in self-defence.

Perfect for: building the foundation of the entire Tai Chi system, while developing health, relaxation, balance and movement quality.

Weapons (Bing Qi)

  • Sword, sabre and spear make you apply the same principles with an object extending your reach.
  • Weapons provide exercise that differs from the Hand Form, stretching and relaxing muscles and joints.
  • Practise coordinating hands, weapon, body and footwork as one movement.
  • The different weapons place particular demands on qualities such as awareness, precision, resolve and control.
  • Weapon forms contain practical fighting applications, these are taught together with the weapon-forms.

Perfect for: developing precision, coordination, focus and whole-body movement while taking Tai Chi principles beyond empty-hand practice.

Pushing Hands (Tui Shou)

  • Learn to feel changes in your partner's movement and intention through physical contact.
  • Practise responding naturally and quickly rather than relying on pre-planned movements.
  • Maintain soft contact so you can continuously sense what your partner is doing.
  • Practise redirecting your partner's force, affecting their balance and exploiting openings rather than meeting force with force.
  • Train the Five Directions and Eight Powers as practical preparation for applying the principles of the Hand Form.

Perfect for: developing “listening” sensitivity—learning to perceive an opponent's movement early enough to respond before their attack is fully developed.

Self-defense Applications (San Shou)

  • Learn what the movements of the Hand Form actually mean when used against an opponent.
  • Practise dealing with punches, kicks and attacks coming from different directions.
  • Learn to avoid strength, use softness and redirect an opponent's force rather than simply blocking it.
  • Practise throws, sweeps, trips, locks, holds and close-quarter techniques as well as strikes.
  • Progress from learning individual techniques to combining them naturally according to the situation, rather than memorising “attack X → response Y.”

Perfect for: turning the principles and movements of Tai Chi into actual martial ability and practical self-defence.
