Content: Yangsheng Taijishan, 1st fan choreography created by Zhang Guangde, founder of our Qi Gong style (Daoyin Yangsheng Gong).
Yangsheng Taijishan is one of the long series of Daoyin Yangsheng Gong, directly inspired by Taiji Quan. The fan is one of the many “weapons” used in Qi Gong and allows a better focus of the mind. Very aesthetic, it requires flexibility, finesse and agility. The seminar is accessible to everyone, even for people who never practiced Qi Gong before. For beginners it’s a very nice way to discover Qi Gong.

Sunday, November 29th 2015 – Kung Fu seminar with Matteo Pepe-Espert
From 9:30 to 17:00 (with 1 hour break for lunch)
Location: At Forskningsrådet (Drammensveien 288, Oslo, Lysaker)
Price: 420 NOK (if you pay before the deadline) Deadline to sign up and pay: 25th of November – after this date, the price will be 470 NOK
Content: Kung Fu staff (gùn in Chinese) and Nunchaku with applications.
The staff is the most commonly used long weapon in Kung Fu. It doesn’t have a blade (like swords) or a sharp tip (like spears), but its length offers a long range distance for striking and keeping the opponent away. The simplicity of its shape makes it a weapon easily suitable in everyday life. Every object with a long stick can become a staff (a broom, a curtain rod, …). Staff is a must for those who want to learn Chinese martial arts.
Nunchaku is made of 2 short (usually wooden) sticks linked by a piece of rope. It became very popular after Bruce Lee introduced it in his movies. Nunchaku offers a shorter range distance for striking than the long staff but its flexibility (via the rope) makes it a very useful and powerful weapon. Practicing Nunchaku sharpens the skills of Chinese martial arts fighters. It allows working on reflexes, blocks, combat distance, dodging and all the skills necessary for a good fighter. During the seminar we will learn or review how to handle both weapons with rotation techniques and a part of a long Taolu (form) with the staff. We will also cover applications with a partner to learn how to hit and to block with a staff and a Nunchaku. This seminar is accessible to everybody and to all levels.
