Learn the Original Chen family-style Taiji
Certified to teach, Don Houston (4th Disciple of Chen Family member Gene Chen) exposes students to lessons encompassing set practices for health: standing meditation, push hands, and interpersonal applications.
Each student receives individual attention as they are introduced to the structural components of this unique martial art:
Relaxation/Peng development
(learning to fill one's space in a relaxed manner),
Centerline
(knowing where you are in space),
Eight energies
(creating the correct energy at the correct time),
5 Elements
(coordinating energies to support or destroy),
Slow hand beats, fast hand
(Chinese equivalent to "counter-punching"),
and
4 square/4 corners
(how to defend and attack).
