This is the second Yang Ban Hou Tai Chi course. For those that came earlier in the year, a chance to learn more moves, for those that missed the opportunity - you still have a chance to catch up!

Some background info:
Yang Ban Hou Taijiquan Form, also known as the Guangping form clearly illustrates the historical and lineage link between the Chen Family and the Yang Family Taijiquan. The form incorporates a solid differentiation between yin and yang, as well as a number of well-defined silk drawing movements. This form can be traced from Yang Ban Hou who was the second son of Yang Lu Shan who had learnt Taijiquan from the Chen Family. Yang Ban Hou transmitted his knowledge to only a few disciples one of these was Wang Chiao-Yu who was based in Beijing, he in turn taught Kuo Lien-Ying who was responsible for introducing it to the West. Made up of Sixty Four Movements which relate to the sixty four hexagrams of the I Ching, this form should be of interest to both Yang and Chen Family Style Practitioners, as well as to the complete beginner, who is interested in accessing a form of movement which gives us a tool with which to take responsibility for our health and well being. This Course is suitable for people of all ages and standards, from beginner to advanced level.
