Upcoming workshops in the Northwest

I have been meaning to keep you posted about tai chi and qigong events in the area, so here goes.

On Saturday 6 December, Master Faye Li Yip will be giving a one-day health qigong seminar in Stockport with Daoyin Yangsheng Gong in the morning and Ba Duan Jin in the afternoon (this is the one we have done in class). You can attend either the morning, the afternoon or both. For details and to book, contact Terri Goron.

On Saturday 10 January in Aigburth, Liverpool, Angela's Tai Chi School is putting on a 3 hour workshop on martial applications of tai chi and push hands. I went to the last one and can thoroughly recommend it. For details and to book, contact Angela Howarth.

That's all for now, but I will keep you posted about future events.

Swords and stuff

After our chat last night, I will be including a straight sword form in our Monday class, starting after Christmas. We will begin with some sword techniques and go on to the 16-step sword form.

As I said last night, I would like to keep the first hour of the class for the 24-step hand form and qigong. The weapons section will be an optional half-hour afterwards.

If you would like to buy a practice sword (or anything else) from Tai Chi Link please let me know by next week, as I will be in Wolverhampton on the weekend of 15th/16th November and can pick it up in person and save on the postage.

This goes for my Wednesday class too - if you haven't bought the 16-step dvd and are still planning to, then let me know by next week and I can pick it up for you.
