Beginning Class
Beginner's classes cover the basics of stance and movement through the first set of the form, approximately 30 steps. When you feel comfortable that you can do the first set, without having to be talked though the moves, then you may come to any forms class.
Intermediate (forms) Class
In these classes you wil learn the entire long form (we do a derivation of the Yang long style). We also add streches, crunches and chi gong exerceises. This work varies during the year based on the weather and who in class is working on what physical issues.
Senior (push hands) Class
This class is by invitation. It includes push hand techniqes, martial applications and fighting forms.
Chen Pan Ling
If you are interested in learning Ba Gua, Chen Pan Ling is a form that bridges between Tai Chi and Ba Gua. This program was grandfathered in when another school closed and is available only on Saturdays.
Ba Gua
Our Ba Gua insturctor is not regularily available due to his current business travel schedule. So no Ba Gua courses are currently offered. The principles of Ba Gua are developed throughthe Chen Pan LIng form. It iis recommended that you start there. When Mr. Zorn is in town, he stops into this class to give corrections.
Chi Gong
Several different forms of chi gong are presented during the year in the Intermediate class. These include Tiger Embrace Mountain, Hua To's 5 Animals Live, Six Healing sounds and a variety of breathing techniques. If you are interested in chi gong only, private classes can be arragnged for individuals or groups.
Create You Own Class
I love to teach. If there is an available time slot on the schedule and you can guarantee the attendance of at least three people, I will create a class just for you. Since my vision is limited these classes must be at my school or you must provide transportation.
