Sŕn Shǒu 散手: the traditional Taijiquan 88-movement interactive duet

 

•   expect a breakthrough in your understanding of your solo form

•   enjoy the circle of energy between two players

•   practice listening, yielding, sticking, neutralizing, controlling, and returning

•   participate in Taiji conversation, not competition

•   study fighting dynamics in slow motion

•   learn internal (energy-based) vs. external (force-based) responses

 

Each weekend you study half of one side (A or B) of the set.

First weekend open to ALL Taiji players. First half is prerequisite for second half.

No need to come with a partner: individuals register separately. Partners change frequently.
