Cloudy Day Tai Chi is a short form from the Yang Style of Tai Chi Chuan
comprised of 14 postures and easily learned in a weekend
seminar. The form embodies all the principles of motion common to
all Tai Chi styles and can be practiced indoors in small spaces, thus I have named this form “Cloudy Day Tai Chi”.
I learned this form from one of my teachers, Master Zhen Kang Sun in
Newark, Delaware. Master Sun's family is responsible for the creation of
the Sun Style of Tai Chi Chuan and I was fortunate to have had him as
my teacher while living in Newark.
Master Sun learned this form from famous martial artist Grandmaster Zhang Wenguan who was the form's creator and the person who introduced Tai Chi to the Western world at the 1936 Olympics in Germany. It was the first time that a Tai Chi form was performed for an international event outside of China. You can read a little bit about this event here.
Upon completion of the workshop, you will be able to perform and practice
a Tai chi form, have a basic introduction to Tai Chi principles
including breathing, relaxation, foot work and body
alignments in accordance to Yang Style Tai Chi. Certificate of
completion will be awarded and each participant receives a free DVD.
