Free Taijiquan Foundation Program in the East Midlands, UK
Free Taijiquan Foundation Program from 22nd May to 31st July 2021, 10 to 11 am, upper hall of Trinity Methodist Church Centre, Royland Road, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 2EH. It will consist of 10 weeks of teaching and practice, and 2 weeks of revision and evaluation. From 11 am to 1 pm, the upper hall is available for those who want to stay and practice, and for private tuitions.
The aim of this program is to develop standards for the identified variables of non-concentric Taijiquan for future clinical trials. Therefore it is suitable for practitioners and non-practitioners of Taijiquan, who are interested to utilize and develop their innate strengths.
The presenter Yun Choi Yeung was very active in the martial arts communities in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, and Foshan before relocating to the UK in 2010 to further his research and to promote the martial sport of pushing hands and Pangration for the World Pangration Athlima Federation (https://www.worldpangration.net) with the aim to introduce it as a martial sport for the Olympic Game. Since then he contributes regularly to the Quarterly Journal of the Institute of Martial Arts and Sciences (http://www.instituteofmartialartsandsciences.com) and presentations in the last three annual congresses of European College of Sport Science (http://ecss-congress.eu).
The plan for this foundation program as follows:
Lesson 1: Oneness in mind and body, movement of joints, seated breathing exercise and small universe. passive stance, Standing breathing and large universe, introduction to biotensegrity.
Lesson 2: Passive and active continuum, weak and strong, flexibility and stiffness, light and heavy, rotation of crotch, and eccentric stepping.
Lesson 3: Directions and center of gravity in stepping
Lesson 4: Movements of wrist, elbow, shoulder, and combinations
Lesson 5: Movements of the torso in the anatomical planes
Lesson 6: Traditional kinetic chain of the nine sets of joints
Lesson 7: Limbs and torso co-ordinations
Lesson 8: Generation of eccentric strength
Lesson 9: Utilization of stored elastic energy
Lesson 10: Stretch and recoil cycles
Lesson 11: Revision and evaluation
Lesson 12: Revision and evaluation
Due to limited space for COVID social distancing requirements, enrolment is required. Please contact the sponsor for further information: [email protected]
