In this day and age, the main purpose for martial arts weapons training is to enhance your empty hand martial skills. Internal martial arts weapons training can enhance your physical, mental and moving meditation skills by increasing your qi and developing the ability to move your qi through your body and into the weapon. This type of training encourages the principle of oneness between you and the weapon.
The uniqueness of the cane is that it is an everyday medical implement that is perfectly normal, legal and practical to have with you at any time and any place. It is a healing, exercise and self defense implement all rolled into one. With correct and continued practice, the Yang 24 Tai Chi Cane Form can help you develop a higher level of tai chi skill by developing and applying the principles of whole body movement, expansion and contraction, cultivating and extending your qi, continuity of movement, relaxation and generating and moving the spiral force through your body and into the cane.
This workshop is safe and suitable for adults of all ages.
*Prior training with the Yang 24 forms is helpful but not required. Participants must have at least a beginning foundation in a system of tai chi.*
Participants will need to purchase a walking cane with a curved handle.
Measuring yourself for a cane:
Stand up straight on a flat surface with your shoes on.
Let your arms hang freely and have someone measure you from the ground up to where your wrist bends.
Add 1 inch to that measurement for an accurate cane length.
If this is not possible pick a cane that feels comfortable, not too short and not too tall.
