Learn the Martial Art of Tai Chi Chuan

Section 1 - Introductions

Before we get into the subject of Tai Chi Chuan and how it is applied, it is important to know the context, basis, expectations and origins of the methods that will be presented. In this course you will find a series of statements on training, approach, safety, background, origin and much more. A vital first step before going "hands on" ...

Section 3 - Ranges, Position & Movement

Understanding some of the basics around range, position, hand placement and movement is often glossed over. Here we cover the basics of moving effectively, getting into the best range to apply your Tai Chi and producing optimum position to stay safe while at the same time unbalancing your opponent. Advanced Skills are built on solid basics, and these skills are just that!

Section 5 - General fighting skills

Now that you have learned to move with speed, power and change we look at the basics of fighting, with this huge and comprehensive course on General Fighting Skills. From evasion to striking, from throwing to ChinNa this section introduces you to both the basic methods of fighting and the over arching principles that you can apply universally to various skills and situations.

Section 7 - Tui Shou - Pushing hands

A core training method of Tai Chi is 'Pushing hands' or Tui Shou. This method is famous for developing sensitivity and fluidity in the practitioner, but there is much more to this seemingly simple set of training movements. This course introduces you to the various 'Circling' methods found in Tui Shou. The course shows Instructor Chris Davis, taking two Jiujitsu Athletes from no understanding to able to perform the practices at a basic level in minutes. 

Section 9 - The Master Strategy

All of Tai Chi fighting can be boiled down to one, master strategy and in this course we explore and train how to manifest it. 

"Unbalance the opponent & Apply a fight ending technique" 

As simple as this sounds there is a world of exploration to understand in the process of being able to apply this strategy reliably and under pressure. Learn off-balancing skills and fight enders in this comprehensive course.

Section 11 - Form Applications

For many, this would be the first course! But without all of the preceding information the application of a form movement is meaningless at best, useless at worst. This course gives you a blueprint of how to view form applications, with off the cuff applications and ideas related to all major form movements.
