Lotus Nei Gong's Yang Taijiquan
Steve Galloway, senior instructor at Lotus Nei Gong School of Daoist Arts
will be introducing, from LNG's Yang syllabus, the Yang 37 of Taijiquan as an internal art, with the goal of accomplishing the “short” part of the 37 posture form.
Normally, Taijiquan is taught as an external art relying on muscular power to generate force, whereas the internal arts generate force from within one's structure. As practitioners move past externalized postures to Taiji's internalized layers, they learn how to monitor yin and yang within an opponent. Using Tui Shou (push hands) combines internalization and awareness of another person's mechanics to intuitively absorb and return force, thus continually refining the “form”.
Steve will teach foundational practices including physical stretching, fascia conditioning drills, standing postures to loosen and connect with soft tissues, and will also teach basic hand changes within Yang push hands. (Anyone with prior experience of Cheng Man-Ch'ing will receive more advance instruction.)
