Sunday, March 29, 2009 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm - Chu Ji Quan (also called Primary Fist, 24 Beat, Chu Chi Chuan)
Although it is the beginners form in the T’ien Shan P’ai Kung Fu system, Chu Ji
Quan is full of sophisticated concepts and useful applications. It has a variety
of kicking, striking and blocking techniques as well as sweeps, take-downs and
joint locks. Once the solo form is learned, it can be practiced as a two-person
fighting set (Dui Lien) to help teach timing, distance control and accuracy.
When the first half of the form is practiced by one person and the second half
by another person, the movements merge into a choreographed fight sequence. A
student once asked Master Lin what his favorite form was. They were expecting
that because of his long experience and travels around the world, Master Lin
would know some rare, exotic and high level forms. Without hesitation,
Master Lin replied that Chu Ji Quan was his favorite. He chose it because it
presents so many essential principals and useful technique in one form.
If you have previously learned the form, this workshop will provide the rare
opportunity to refine your understanding and to get corrections and explanations
from the person who brought this system to the US. Students who know at least
the first half of the form will get a chance to work on the two-person fighting
set while others work on improving the solo version of the form.
If you haven't trained with Master Lin before,
you won't want to miss this opportunity. He turned 70 last year but you wouldn't
believe it to see him and and his abilities serve as an inspiration to all of
us. He is eager to share his knowledge and he has a friendly, open teaching
style. You can feel free to ask questions and get demonstrations of
applications.
These workshops are suitable for all martial arts styles and all levels of
experience, including beginners with no previous training. Don’t miss this
opportunity to learn from one of the best! Class size will be limited to ensure
everyone gets individual attention and plenty of hands-on experience. Be sure to
register in advance to reserve a spot as walk-in registrations are not
