Tai Chi Silk Reeling Workshop with Coach Jan Gyomber, Saturday May 2nd 3pm to 5 pm at Mt. Penn Kung Fu and Holistic Center.
"Silk reeling" refers to gentle coiling and spiraling movements of ones body to optimize full body coordination for improved health and martial ability. This workshop is appropriate for all levels of fitness or martial art experience. We will first practice some general silk reeling execises, emphasizing energy flow and coordination. We will then examine how the silk reeling is used within the Tai Chi movements. Finally, we can investigate the use of Tai Chi silk reeling for self-defense. In the last part of the workshop, Coach Jan will answer questions about Tai Chi martial applications.
Workshop tuition is $35 cash. Copies of Mr. Gyomber's book, "Lessons From Masters" will be available for $15.
