BSK Tai Chi and Internal Arts Curriculum
In this program, you will learn the Tai Chi Basics: Tai Chi Walk, Tai Chi Stances, Relaxation, Proper Body alignment and Qigong. The word Qigong (pronounced chi kung) is a combination of two ideas: "Qi" means air, breath of life, or vital energy of the body, and "gong" means the skill of working with, or cultivating, self-discipline and achievement. The art of Qigong consists primarily of meditation, physical movement, mind-body integration, and breathing exercises. Practitioners of Qigong develop an awareness of qi sensations (energy) in their body and use their mind to guide the Qi.
After learning the Tai Chi basics, we will introduce the Introductory Yang 8 Tai Chi form and Introductory Yang 16 Tai Chi form. These forms are the first and second degree standard form in China in the Yang style. When working on these form, we will focus on the Thirteen Principles and the Eight Energies of Tai Chi. As you progress, you will learn the Simplified 24-Form Tai Chi Quan. This form is the most popular form in the world, also the 3rd-degree standard form in China, in Yang style. In addition, we also teach Chen Style Tai Chi, Tai Chi Sword, Push Hands and other Internal Arts such as Xingyi Chuan and Bagua Zhang. Beginners
