This is a more advanced and dynamic form, based on the
standard Laojia form but containing more coiling, folding and fajin (explosive moves). It places
greater demand on students’ concentration and co-ordination and thus helps to speed
up their progress.
Open only to students who know either Loajia form or
some Xinjia.

Cost: £140
in advance, £160 cash on the door (£80/£90 for Thursday only)
In addition to correcting students’ postures and
movement Master Chen will also go into more detail about the use of dantian and ‘qi circulation’ in individual
movements of the form.

Master Chen will teach Chan Si Gong (Silk Reeling Exercises) and basics of the Chen style fajin (explosive power release).
The Silk Reeling exercises are important in the
development of the qi flow in the
body and ultimately they help to develop Chan
Si Jin - silk reeling energy - the core of Taijiquan. These spiralling,
coiling movements exercise all joints, help to develop connections within the
body and also train dantian rotation.
The skill of fajin
is difficult to acquire and Master Chen's instruction and hands-on help can be
invaluable. Suitable for all levels of
experience.
