Instruction
The sword form is a wonderful and insightful practice in addition to the tai chi form, and gives a whole new dimension to tai chi. In this intensive 6-day camp, Kim Kanzelberger will teach the entire sword form in the style of Cheng Man-ching and Benjamin Lo.
Kim is a student of Benjamin Lo and has been practicing tai chi since 1975. In 1980, Kim established Center States Tai Chi Chuan where people of all ages and walks of life have benefited from his concise instruction and ability to convey the spirit of the practice.
Tai Chi Chien (sword) is composed of a 52-posture form. This unique practice further refines and deepens understanding and expression of the essential principles of tai chi. Kim began studying the sword in 1976, and in the early 1980s he began receiving instruction in the sword form from Benjamin Lo.
Requirements
You must have at least 5 years experience with Professor Cheng Man-ching's 37-posture tai chi form. Push hands experience is recommended. Participants should bring their own wooden or metal tai chi sword.
