New year’s seminars Jan 10th and 24th
On Saturday January 10th I will be giving a seminar on Bagua, from 16H-19H that will permit us to look into several areas of the art for beginners and more experienced practitioners.
-
Body alignment and quality of movement and how this relates to the cultivation of internal strength and energy
-
Circle walking – both for body development and meditation
-
Single palm change – the key movement of Bagua and the source of all the other forms.
We will use single palm change with the circle walking as a base to practise various partner exercises that teach natural and effective martial technique.
On Saturday Jan 24th from 16H30-19H30 I will lead an Aunkai practise session during which we will cover the foundation exercises and principles of Akuzawa Sensei’s system. Emphasis will be on developing the frame in the body through the spine. We will cover the following exercises:
-
Ma-Ho, Tienchijin, Shintaijiku, Juuji cross training.
-
we will also use partners to test, explore and elucidate the results of the practises.
The cost of the bagua workshop is €35, while the price of the Aunkai practise group will be to cover costs so is likely tpo be between €5-15 per person. Both sessions will take place at espace Nataraja, 12 rue Hippolyte Lebas, 75009
