Due to COVID 19, this class is being held in an outdoor (covered) pavilion. We will require social distancing and face coverings at all times.

This is a traditional form that is suggested for improving balance, focus and meditative aspects.  It is taught one posture at a time, at the student's pace, with an intensive focus on fundamentals in movement.  Wudangshan is a starting point for anyone interested in the art of taijiquan.

It is a long empty hand form which the same posture list as the commonly taught Yang style however each posture generally contains a few more movement or applications.  The form has 154 postures and, when performed in its entirety, takes 45 minutes or longer to complete one full practice.  Students usually learn the form in roughly 2 years but are able to start benefiting from the practice of the form after a month or so, as principles of movement are ingrained.

One time visitors (perhaps you're visiting the area?) are welcome to join any class or seminar. They will be able to experience a small bit of our form and explore our focus on fundamentals, stance work and applications.  The single class rate of $20 would apply.

Beginning and Continuing Tai Chi

Due to COVID 19, this class is being held in an outdoor (covered) pavilion. We will require social distancing and face coverings at all times.

Wudangshan is a traditional taiji (also known as tai chi) form that is suggested for improving balance, focus and meditative aspects.  The form is taught one posture at a time, at the student's pace, with an intense focus on fundamentals of movement.  Wudangshan is a starting point for anyone interested in the art of taijiquan.

Beginning students will start learning principles and fundamentals essential for taiji.  They will continue through the form, posture by posture at their own pace.

Visitors are welcome to join any class or seminar. They will be able to experience a small bit of our form and explore our focus on fundamentals, stance work and applications.

Taiji Form and Weapons Seminar

The fourth Saturday seminar is open to any student, beginning or advanced, and has a very open format.  Current students continue work on forms they are currently learning, focusing on new postures and refining movements they already know.  

Visitors and beginning students can get an introduction to taiji fundamentals and various forms taught by Black Bamboo.

This is also a good time for students wishing in exploring a weapon or additional empty hand form but are unable to make it to another weekly class.
