Regulars Programme
The Regulars Programme is for students who wish to progress deeper & broader in the practice – note: you never actually ‘complete’ the foundations, that is really the main practice for the rest of your life – the saying is “an inch wide and a mile deep”. While progress is a ‘non-linear’ and individual process, the regulars programme offers an opportunity for deeper progression through additional elements of the practice:
- Cheng Man-ch’ing 37 Form – 1st Section – Consolidation & Refinement
- Complete 37 Form – Sections 1 to 4 / 65 Movements
- Internal approaches to 37 Form practice
- Tai Chi & Qigong Foundations – Revision & Refinement
- Posture Practice – Zhan Zhuang – Ding Shi – Timed Practice (Gong Fu)
- Partnerwork Syllabus & Pushing Hands
- Huang Sheng Shyan’s 5 Loosening Exercises and 5 Standing Postures (timed practice)
- Liu Xiheng’s Tai Chi Exercises (Swimming Dragon Exercises)
- Additional Qigong & Neigong practice sets e.g. Shibashi
