Lot of Gun play this evening. Introduction of staff drills meant lots of tired shoulders by the end of the sessions. #staff #wushu #quanshu #taiyi #taiji

Moving deeper into Splitting Fist this evening with two hours of practice.

Just completed the ‘Laying the Foundations’ part 1. Great weekend with lots of old and new friends.

[Gaodeng @Chanquanshu]

Excellent session this evening - Back to Basics - Footwork and grounding followed by a long time doing nothing but standing in Santi.

Revision time with the Wudang Taijiquan Cloud Hands with Dragon Stepping. Quite dangerous to have class full of dragons!
Got even more dangerous later as the Lianbuquan progressed - it is popular. #Wudang #Taijiquan #Quanshu #Dragons #Lianbuquan

Added the Wudang Turtle Stepping in the Daoyin session today after a brief talk about Neidan principles. #Wudang #Daoyin #Yangsheng #5animals

A few eureka moments for a few people in the sword session this evening which leads to lots of feel-good time. #sword #quanshu #kungfu #luoshu #jian

[Gaodeng @Chanquanshu]

In the Wudang session we looked at 'follow stepping' and how it helps with certain fajing movements. In the Lianbuquan afterwards people are starting to make really good progress - very energising! #Wudang #fajing #Lianbuquan #quanshu

[Gaodeng @Chanquanshu]

After the usual routines in the Daoyin class we started the Turtle from the Wudang Five Animal forms. The extra stretch really opens things up. #Daoyin #Wudang #Yangsheng #5animals

Nice Wudang Taiji movement there! #taijiquan #wudang https://t.co/3gpWGw94QU

Good Taijiquan session today, reaching the end of the first section. Looking at small details and applications. #Taijiquan #quanshu #Yangstyle

[Gaodeng @Chanquanshu]

The evening sword class has now morphed into a sword and Lianbuquan session. More and more fun with the Consecutive Step Boxing! #quanshu #sword #lianbuquan #kungfu

[Gaodeng @Chanquanshu]

Back to basics again in the Bagua this evening. Always good to go back!
Lianbuquan is also progressing well. #quanshu #bagua #lianbuquan #wudangshan #taiyi

[Gaodeng @Chanquanshu]

The teacher training session this afternoon concentrated on the soft Lianbuquan for most people and but some fajing activity for others. Still lots of focus on developing the directing power of the mingmen area. #quanshu #lianbuquan #internalpower

[Gaodeng @Chanquanshu]

Usual Wudang Taijiquan and Taiyi Wuxing Quan followed by perfecting the inner structure to develop the correct strength for the Bagua Monkey movements.
Second session continued working through Lianbuquan parts 1 and 2.

This afternoon's Daoyin session covered the Liver exercises again with a bit more detailed information about what and why. #daoyin #qigong #yangsheng #quanshu

[Gaodeng @Chanquanshu]

In and Out today in the Taijiquan session. Looking at the outer movement and then going deeper into the inner mechanism of 'Open and Close.' #taijiquan #quanshu #wushu

[Gaodeng @Chanquanshu]

We did not polish the sword this evening but we did do a lot of polishing of sword techniques. #quanshu #sword #luoshu

[Tina Faulkner Elders @TinaRuyi]

We go to Wudang Shan and Master Chen’s school next Spring. Then sightseeing. Contact me for details. https://t.co/4eU9yzgt9g

[Gaodeng @Chanquanshu]

All the classes from yesterday and today, #taijiquan, #daoyin #yangsheng, #wudang #bagua, and #lianbuquan concentrated on the same idea of minor adjustments for major results!
