Wudang Pai Tai Chi Basics Series
This online series features six hours of traditional, basic Tai Chi tuition from the Wudang Pai style that is designed to help beginners feel and control their internal energy known as qi.
"This is traditional Tai Chi training as I learned it in China's Wudang Mountains. The Wudang Clan emphasise basic skills training as a way to reach the highest levels of this healing art. Our teaching style uses clear, detailed tuition and repetition to sink into exercises that are designed to soften and strengthen the body as well as focus the mind. As the body opens and the mind calms you can work with your qi, and over time can go on to create the Tai Chi Powers - the main martial principles of Tai Chi. From there, the physical, mental and spiritual evolution that this process brings is yours to discover." Shifu Lucia/袁微容
