After the initial 4-week session, you can continue with a flexible 4-class pass for $60, allowing you to join classes that fit your schedule. Tai Chi is a gradual practice, and while this session offers an introduction, mastering the full form may take up to a year. This introductory series will help you decide if Tai Chi aligns with your wellness journey. T’ai Chi Ch’uan is indeed an ancient Chinese martial art, yet one firmly rooted in relaxation and mindfulness, absolutely not the use of force (“using 4 oz. to deflect 1,000 lbs.”). The practice is therefore often referred to as “moving meditation,” a regular, slow-moving form involving a sequence of postures performed in a relaxed but very mindful manner. Most who practice, both in China and in the United States, are therefore more concerned with improved health, greater vitality and calmness, the release of stress and tension, and balanced strength. This will be the focus of this beginning Westport Island class. T’ai Chi does require regular attendance and regular practice, if only for a few minutes every day — “improving daily by the thickness of a sheet of paper,” which accumulates to a substantial volume. The form involves a sequence of 37 postures, which will be taught sequentially over time, each following from the ones preceding. The style of T’ai Chi Ch’uan we will follow is known as the Yang Short Form, developed by Professor Cheng Man Ch’ing, who learned the ancient art of T’ai Chi from the Yang family master Yang Cheng-fu in the 1920’s. A celebrated professor of Chinese Medicine in both mainland China and then Taiwan, Cheng Man Ch’ing (often referred to simply as The Professor) brought this form of T’ai Chi to New York City in the early 1960’s, leaving a senior student (Mr. Lu) in charge of the Taiwan School and bringing another senior student (Ben Lo) to teach T’ai Chi in San Francisco. All three now have senior students throughout the country, all from this same tradition. Within that tradition, Nick Pagon has practiced T’ai Chi for over 20 years, having initially learned the form from Maggie Newman, a senior student of the Professor in NYC, now in her late 90’s, along with some of her more senior students. He has also studied with Lenzie Williams, Ben Lo’s senior student in Berkeley, and Wei Ming, Mr. Lu’s senior student in Taiwan. A minimum of 4 participants is required for the class to take place.
