Advanced Training in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is simply amazing! I had the opportunity to spend two weeks training at the Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan Academy in Hong Kong. This year marks the 80th year since the Academy opened it's doors. Advanced lessons from Grandmaster Eddie Wu were certainly the highlights of my trip. I also enjoyed training with fellow Tai Chi practitioners. Three hour classes can be very demanding on times.
Kowloon Park is a beautiful park that has a special area called “Kung Fu Park”. Early mornings, especially on weekends, you can literally encounter over 100 people practicing various Tai Chi forms. Many mornings after my training was done I loved observing others playing Tai Chi and listening to very soothing music in the background.
It never seems to amaze me how much depth there is in this beautiful art form. I can’t wait to return and continue my journey of discovery.

2018 - The Year of the Dog

The Chinese New Year just began. It is the year of the dog. Motor City Tai Chi extends warm wishes for a successful and prosperous year!
Students at Motor City Tai Chi continue to enjoy the fun and challenging training. The addition of an extra class for weapons training was a big hit.
The Spear is traditionally the first weapon students are introduced to. The Spear form teaches twisting and suppleness and allows us to practice extending energy outside the body. It adds to improvement to focus. It can stretch and strengthen muscle, sinew and bones, as well as improving conditioning.  Inherent to the Spear form is the development of Fa Jing , or Internal Power.
