Tai Chi Wisdom - Tai Chi and therapy in Brighton, Hove, Lewes and Sussex

Designed for continuing students who have learnt the first part of the 5 Section Solo Sword Form, these classes will continue our study of the Tai Chi straight sword or Jian. 

As this is a class for more advanced students, you will be expected to be practicing between sessions and to train regularly.  Sunday morning training is available to support this; we meet at a local park to train from 10.0-12.30pm any Sunday that we are not teaching a course (please check the calendar for more information).

Further study:

Sam's website has a number of resources which will help with your study of this form: his teaching DVD is clear and well structured; there are also demo clips from Sam's students around the world performing the 5 section forms including solo and 2 Person Sword; this handout of the names of the moves is an excellent resource for study into the history, and qualities of the moves which the names convey; lastly, Sam also has an article on his site on the history of the Jian.

To gain an understanding of the skill and grace which can be developed with this weapon, this video of Sam and Master Yang Jwing Ming is an excellent example of high level practitioners fencing.

Discounts are available when booking more than one class per week. Please contact us in the office for more information.
