Saturday, February 3, 2007 from noon to 3:00 pm - Push Hands
Push Hands practice helps students gain an understanding of leverage, reflex,
sensitivity, timing, coordination and positioning. You learn to avoid,
neutralize and redirect the incoming forces of your opponent’s attack while also
learning to generate, coordinate and deliver power to them. These skills are
very important in gaining a deeper understanding of Tai Chi, but are also useful
to any martial artist wanting to become more effective when fighting in close
range.
Sunday, February 4, 2007 from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm - Qinna
Qinna is the Chinese art of “seize and control.” It is used to restrain
opponents through techniques for locking joints or muscles and tendons by
applying leverage and using pressure points. The techniques require very little
force making them especially effective against larger and stronger opponents. In
addition, the pressure of many techniques can be adjusted so that they can be
used merely to control an opponent or to injure or disable them when necessary.
The techniques can be used to defend against grabs, holds and chokes or used to
immobilize, subdue, or control assailants. These are important skills for when
you are in close contact with an opponent and are especially useful in law
enforcement and other situations when you need to subdue an assailant without
injuring them.
These workshops are suitable for all martial arts styles and all levels of
experience, including beginners with no previous training. Don’t miss this
opportunity to learn from one of the best! Class size will be limited to ensure
everyone gets individual attention and plenty of hands-on experience. Be sure to
register in advance to reserve a spot as walk-in registrations are not
