Introduction to the Five Fists of Xing Yi
Sun Style Tai Chi Embraces the three internal martial art systems of Tai Chi, Xing Yi, and Ba Gua. This webinar will focus on The Five Fists of Xing Yi (Metal—To Chop, Water— To Drill, Wood—To Crush, Fire—To Explode, Earth—To Cross). Participants will gain an understanding of each element and how it applies to the corresponding fist. Each fist will be broken down and practiced with a tai chi flavor. Coordinating mind, body, and breath with each movement will help participants practice each fist by looking inward as well as outward. Every aspect of this webinar will be mindfully guided by physical, mental, and spiritual awareness and connection to nature. This is a very important key to understanding the richness and depth of Sun Style Tai Chi. This webinar is a must for Sun Tai Chi Practitioners, TCA Instructors and Students, and tai chi practitioners regardless of system. It will enhance your ability to understand and apply the principles of Tai Chi to every aspect of your training.
