Grandmaster Wong performing a thrust kick at the Tai Chi Chuan Festival

This course provides the fundamentals of Tai Chi Chuan (Taijiquan), including entering Tao, stances and footwork, waist rotation, differentiating yin-yang, developing and exploding internal force, and combat applications, including against other martial styles.

The set, 24-Pattern Simplified Tai Chi Chuan, is chosen as a base. Grandmaster Wong asked course participants to suggest a more poetic name for the set. Responding to Kevin's post in our Shaolin Wahnam Discussion Forum, a number of names were proposed. Grandmaster Wong modified Sifu Christina's proposed name, "Grasping Sparrow with Hands Like Clouds", to "Cloud Hands Grasp Sparrow". Sifu Zhang Wuji suggested a complete name to be "Wahnam Cloud Hands Grasp Sparrow Tai Chi Chuan Set".

We wish to thank Michael for recording the videos.
