Class Information
Our classes cover specific topics for two month "sessions". We focus on eight classes per subject, and then we will move on to a new topic of study. Beginners, or those who come to class infrequently, will jump in with the rest of the class - though brand new students must attend the orientation (the first Monday or Wednesday of the session) before beginning the regular classes.
Each session will include classes related to our two main styles of Yang Taijiquan (based on the teachings of Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming) and Jiulong Baguazhang (based on the teachings of Dr. John P. Painter). Although not a style, we also offer recurring classes in the specialty skill of Qinna, the art of Chinese joint locking.
Other classes may include Qigong, traditional weapons, conditioning and various partner practices.
We have a 10 minute break between classes, giving everyone a chance to rest, snack, chat or change for the next class. Please plan to arrive around 10 minutes before your class. Please also be sure to bring plenty of water, comfortable clothes, and indoor shoes.
Tuition: You have the choice of paying "per class", "one class per month" or "two or more classes per month". This last will give you the flexibility to attend any or all of the classes, with 4-6 subjects being offered per two month session (32-48 practices). This will allow you to save money while being exposed to a wider range of material - a great deal and a lot of fun!
We are looking forward to a great year, with you making great strides in your personal practice.
See you in class!
