MARTIAL ARTS STUDIES 124 - Taiji Practicum

Institution:

University of Bridgeport

Subject:

Description:

This course will introduce the third part of the Yang Style Short Form. It will incorporate breathing techniques into the form and will introduce the concept of form assessment for the incorporation and execution of Taiji principles. It will build on earlier training to begin to introduce the martial arts applications of Taiji in preparation for push hands classes and Qigong training level 4 on the entire set (exercises one to twelve). This course will begin to prepare students to assume leadership roles in higher levels of study. Taiji 4 reviews Taiji's principles and communicates how the Taiji form performance is assessed based on the principles. Both the self-defense aspects and the self-cultivation aspects (of body, mind & spirit) of the Yang Style Short Form will be presented. The class will stress ongoing individual Taiji training and students will be encouraged to develop individual Taiji training formats. This class also presents training and information required to lead Qigong classes on the entire set of twelve exercises. Prerequisite: Marts 123 or Instructor's Approval based on Testing. 1 semester hour
