Form Correction and Application Practice
"What is the goal of push hands (or Tai Chi Chuan application)？Constant youthfulness and a long life." -A little Beneath the Surface of the Tai Ji Quan Classics by Master Ping Siang Tao
Open to Beginners with some experience under their belts and Intermediate students.
We will concentrate on the intricacies of the Tai Chi Chuan Form, the Nei Gong (internal and Chi) aspects as well as the Martial applications, advanced elements from the Form, two person practice sets, and push hands practice. All done in a non-competitive environment.
It is only through practicing Tai Chi in two person work that the higher health, martial and spiritual aspects of Tai Chi Chuan are realized. By eliminating competition and li (physical force) and emphasizing Ting Jin (listening energy) the higher elements of practice can be realized.
"EXPLAINING TAIJI PRINCIPLES (TAIJI FA SHUO) - Brennan Translation – 太極法說 EXPLAINING TAIJI PRINCIPLES 楊班侯 attributed to Yang Banhou [circa 1875] [translation by Paul Brennan, Sep, 2013]
[PRACTICING] WITHOUT MISTAKES
Crashing in, collapsing, coming away, and resistance will lose in [practice], and so they are called mistakes. If you neglect sticking, adhering, connecting, and following, you will not be able to achieve moving with awareness. And if you are not aware of yourself, how will you be able to know your opponent? Therefore when [practicing], do not use crashing in, collapsing, coming away, or resistance, thereby opposing the opponent, instead use sticking, adhering, connecting, and following, thereby awaiting the opponent. If you can do it in this way, then not only will you be without mistakes, but moving with awareness will be automatically accomplished, and you can then progress to the skill of identifying energies."

My mother’s been ill for the past six months, and I’ve moved back in to help care for her. I love her dearly, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t emotionally draining. The days are long, full of medications, appointments, and worrying. At night, I used to just sit and stare at the ceiling. Then, one evening, I looked for something online that wasn’t news or social media. I tried puzzles and videos, but nothing stuck. I landed on this online gaming platform, clicked through out of curiosity, and found myself actually enjoying the moment for the first time in a while. I could play for a few minutes here and there without stress. It became something I looked forward to after long, tough days. It didn’t solve my problems, of course, but it gave me a short window of escape and mental ease. I’m grateful to thepokies net for helping me hold on to a tiny piece of balance in what’s otherwise been an overwhelming time.
Slope games are a fast-paced arcade genre where players control a rolling ball down an endless slope with ever-increasing speed. The game requires sharp reflexes to dodge obstacles and keep the ball from falling off the track.
