If you are a student of tai chi, these workshops will help take your practice to a higher level. Many of the applications hidden in the movements of forms practice are based on Qinna. Gaining an understanding of these qinna techniques will give you some useful skills you will be able to apply immediately and will help you identify other applications that may be "hidden" in your forms. The push hands practice will help you improve your balance, stability, footwork and posture while demonstrating the importance of these attributes. Even if you are not a tai chi student, these workshops will be invaluable for giving you practical techniques you can apply in a variety of situations and for learning principles that will help improve your skill as a martial artist no matter what style you study.

 
Sunday, April 20, 2008 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm - Tui Shou (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, April 20, 2008  from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm - Qinna (Chin Na)
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. These techniques 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 guaranteed.
