Details:
(I) Creating Qi and Internal Balance in your Body
We will begin with very basic, standing exercises called Zhan Zhuang to teach you Shen Fa, good body posture that is essentially the foundation of your body balance. Each movement trains you to move specific parts of your body in a more natural way. As you practice, you will be more conscious of your weight shifts, so you know how to adjust your body centring for better balance. The movements also engages all the joints in your body; shoulder joints, elbow joints, wrist joints, knee joints and ankle joints, so that you expand the range of flexibility in them. You will build up your leg strength as you will learn to hold a specific posture for an extended period of time. It requires you to build your mental concentration as you will learn to coordinate your limbs, torso and head in an optimal alignment. You will learn to relax and learn to feel the beginnings of Qi.
(II) Developing Silk Reeling energy and Stepping techniques
Building upon the standing exercises in Zhan Zhuang where you have developed initial Qi circulation, we will lead you into the next stage of learning called Chan Si Gong. This is a series of repeated, single movement patterns which is meant to develop silk reeling energy and further develop postural alignment. At this point, you will also be taught Stepping techniques called Bu Fa to train up leg power, and impart basic footwork strategies. These single patterns are graduated so that you are progressively training up each set of muscles required for the next group of movements. It is an extremely useful routine in that it eventually trains you to initiate movement and generate power naturally from your body frame and abdomen.
(III) Applying and Internalising the use of Qi and Silk Reeling energy into Form
This the part which you been preparing yourself for. You will now be taught a specially routine choreographed by Grandmaster Zhu, called the 5 Elements and 13 Postures which actually covers all the fundamental techniques of peng, lu, ji, an, cai, lie, zhou, kao, zhuo gu, you pan, qian jin, hou tui, and zhong ding. You will learn how to use your relaxation and breathing to integrate Qi into each movement. More fascinatingly, you will be able to actually see how the characteristic Chen style Silk Reeling technique is uniquely applied into a movement. As you practice, you will begin to understand the interplay of Internal and External forces, the contrasting fast and slow movements, and why maintaining an unbroken body line is so important. Notice the contrastive terms used, and this is what is meant by the Yin-Yang in Tai Chi!
Tian Cai Training System – One Circle . Two Points . Six Spirals 天才太极教学法 ：一圆两点六缠丝
“One Circle” refers to the completed circle formed by single or double handed silk reeling.
“Two Points” refers to the two defence positions at opposing extremities.
“Six Spirals” refers to the entire set of silk reeling oscillations
Grand Master Zhu Tian Cai created this training strategy around this time restriction to induct a new practitioner quickly into the Chen Tai Chi basics in a shorter, more efficient way.
In all our classes, we will implement this effective and authentic Chen Tai Chi training system This is the same system if you visit Chen Village in China.

**Discover the Art of Push Hands: Elevate Your Taijiquan Practice**
Are you ready to deepen your Taiji journey and unlock a new level of mindfulness, sensitivity, and physical mastery? Our **Push Hands Class** is designed to help you explore the profound benefits of this ancient practice, blending mindfulness, martial arts, and personal growth into one transformative experience.
### **What is Push Hands?**
Push Hands, or *Tui Shou*, is a two-person training exercise in Taijiquan that goes beyond solo forms. It’s a dynamic practice that cultivates awareness, balance, and connection—both with yourself and your partner. Through gentle yet intentional interactions, you’ll learn to sense energy, refine your movements, and apply Taiji principles in real-time.
### **Why Join Our Push Hands Class?**
1. **Cultivate Mindfulness**
Push Hands is a practice rooted in mindfulness. You’ll develop a heightened awareness of your body, energy flow, and your partner’s movements, fostering a deeper connection and presence in every moment.
2. **Enhance Sensitivity and Adaptability**
Learn to feel subtle shifts in energy and intention, sharpening your ability to respond with precision and grace. This skill not only improves your Taiji practice but also enhances your interactions in daily life.
3. **Master Taiji Principles**
Push Hands is the perfect platform to test and apply core Taiji concepts like balance, relaxation, and efficient energy use. Move beyond theory and integrate these principles into your movements for improved form and function.
4. **Improve Balance and Coordination**
Sharpen your ability to maintain stability and coordination, even under external pressure. These skills are invaluable for martial applications and translate into better agility and confidence in everyday activities.
5. **Condition Your Reflexes**
Regular practice will fine-tune your reflexes, making your responses quicker and more instinctive. Whether for self-defense or overall physical agility, Push Hands prepares you to move with ease and confidence.
6. **Build Internal Strength**
Taiji emphasizes internal energy (Qi) over brute force. Push Hands helps you develop and harness this internal strength, enabling powerful, controlled, and effortless movements.
7. **Explore Martial Applications**
While Taiji is often practiced for health and meditation, it is fundamentally a martial art. Push Hands bridges the gap between form and function, helping you refine skills that can be applied to self-defense and combat scenarios.
### **Why Traditionally Push Hands is Not Meant for Competition**
Push Hands is rooted in the philosophy of harmony, cooperation, and self-cultivation rather than competition. Traditionally, it is not about winning or losing but about mutual growth and understanding. The practice emphasizes listening, yielding, and adapting to your partner’s energy, fostering a sense of connection and respect.
In a competitive setting, the focus often shifts to dominance and force, which contradicts the core principles of Taiji—relaxation, balance, and mindfulness. Push Hands is designed to help practitioners develop sensitivity, internal strength, and a deeper understanding of themselves and others, making it a practice of collaboration rather than confrontation.
### **A Note to Those Seeking Competition**
If you’re looking to compete, dominate, or showcase your skills, this class may not be for you. Push Hands is not about proving superiority or overpowering others. It’s a practice of humility, patience, and mutual respect. Those who approach it with an open heart and a willingness to learn will find it deeply rewarding.

– Deepen their understanding of Taiji principles
