Wednesday 19 June - Biomechanics - 2 places available
Instead of tensing muscles as and when needed, the internal martial arts
cultivate unbroken power at all times. No tensing is required.
The unorthodox movements employed by the tai chi forms were designed to
offer a biomechanical advantage when using the body.

Wednesday 24 July - Form applications - 1 place available
When form and function become the same, it is easy to extract useful
applications.
Traditionally, it is said that there are at least seven
applications for every form
movement.
There are three types of martial application
within form: chin na, jing
and shuai jiao.
A student must be capable of skilfully applying the form in a
thorough and convincing way against an
earnest attacker.

Wednesday 31 July -
Chin na applications -
1 place available
Every misplacing the bones application contains unique leverage
principles. Once the student can identify, understand and employ the
principle, they can develop new applications using the same principle.
Gaining this skill moves the student notably away from a technique-based
mentality. This is a critical forward step in terms of ability.
