SEMINAR INFORMATION
Qi Gong
Saturday November 10, 2007 9:00AM – 4:30PM (2hr lunch)
What is Qi? What is Qigong? How does practicing Qigong help maintain health and increase longevity? How does Qigong relate to the “cultivation of internal energy”?
These and many other questions will be discussed in this Seminar designed to help a beginner understand the basic concepts of Qigong, and provide information experienced Qigong practitioners can use as the foundation for a deeper understanding of the training.
Also exercises for feeling Qi, and “softening and relaxing” the chest and spine will be practiced.
Limited availability (40 seats only)
Chin-Na (Chinese Grappling)
Sunday November 11, 2007 9:00AM – 4:30PM (2hr lunch)
"Chin Na" means “Seize and Control” and is well known for its effectiveness in controlling and subduing opponents through its techniques of locking joints or muscles/tendons.
Qin Na relies on skill and practice to sense the proper angle, timing, pressure and leverage. Without knowing these key points the techniques will be ineffective. Therefore learning, practicing and feeling the technique under the guidance from an expert like Dr. Yang is essential.
The techniques taught in this Seminar/Workshop can easily be incorporated into other martial styles and systems.
Limited availability (40 seats only)
