The classical Tai Chi Chuan form has 13 movements, made up of 8 techniques and 5 directions.
These are: Ward off, Rollback, Press, Push,
Pull down, Elbow, Shoulder, Split,
North, South, West, East and Centre.

The Tai Chi Chi Kung form, is much shorter than Tai Chi Chuan but still contains the eight techniques, flowing through the 5 directions.
It is practiced clockwise and counter clockwise within a small space.

This is a very special Ceremonial Form that is an excellent exercise and learning tool for those who are interested in a
short, compact but challenging form of Internal Tai Chi Chuan.

The form is very short and easy to learn, which enables us to focus on the inner structure and energetic movement.

Although it can take less than a day to learn the form,
a lifetime can be spent exporing its depth.


Iron Shirt structure is the essence of the form,
we use it to unify the structure, and root it deeply into the earth.
We keep the integrity of this structure throughout the form.

During the weekend we learn many simple but profound techniques that we integrate into the form.
This includes several Tendon QiGong forms to activate and grow the tendons.
Throughout the form we use tendons rather than muscles to hold and move the structure.

We use Deep Breathing techniques to activate and energise the Lower Dan Tien,
and develop it as the control centre for the form.

The form activates the Microcosmic Orbit, the bodies main fire & water channels,
we deepen this with meditation and movement.

We develop Lumbar and Psoas Power,
transforming one of the bodies weakest areas,
into one of the strongest and uniting our upper body with our hips and legs.

We bring focused awareness, consciousness to our breathing,
sinking the life force into the kidneys our source of vitality.
We learn Bone Breathing to bring more density to our bones and to revitalise our bone marrow.



Earth Star Rooting,
gives us a deep personal connection with the Earth and Polaris the North Star.

5 Element/7 Directional Toning, comprises 7 tones that vibrate in the organs
and connect out into the 7 directions south, west, north, east, above, below
and the place where they all meet deep in our core.
We use these tones to honour and align with the forces of the directions.
They are very powerful done silently and evolve into a very useful simple centering ceremony.

Tai Chi Chi Kung creates a peaceful vibrant environment wherever it is practiced.
It combines a deep centering with an expanded awareness.

We explore deeper and deeper into the core of our being and deeper and deeper
into the core of the Universal Being.

These skills bring peace and harmony to our bodymind
and and help us discover the incredible potential of the human body.
We learn how to move the body with integrity power and grace.

We learn how to express ourselves from our Core.
