This nine week session of weekly classes will cover the “Opening the Energy Gates” chi gung set and begin an ongoing study of Ba Gua Zhang.

In the first hour we will cover the standing dissolving, cloud hands, the three swings, and the spine stretch from Opening the Energy Gates. These exercises form the core of the Energy Arts system of BK Frantzis and are applicable to all styles of Tai Chi Chuan, martial arts and other chi gung systems. We will be giving special focus to Outer Dissolving, energy movement and safe practice of the Three Swings.

In the second hour of class we will teach Ba Gua Zhang beginning with the Single Palm Change. The Single Palm is the root of all the movements in Ba Gua Zhang and is both the place to begin oneʼs journey into the art of Ba Gua Zhang but also the place to return if one wishes to deepen oneʼs understanding of the internal principles of the art. These classes are open to practitioners of all ages and abilities. Those who have completed basic training in Circle Walking and Single Palm Change will move on to the Double Palm Change and further.

Individuals interested in attending Bruce Frantzisʼ Ba Gua instructor training in Summer ʼ09 will find these classes an excellent way of preparing for the training.
