    The "Eight Energies", also called the "Eight Methods", are the elemental building blocks of Taijiquan movements. These are: peng (to expand/ward off), lu (to divert/roll back), ji (to press), an (to push), cai (to pluck), lie (to split), zhou (to strike with the elbow), and kao (to lean/strike with the torso). The Eight Energies embody the essential dualities of Taijiquan: opening/closing and softness/hardness. The eight energy drills can be practiced on their own both for the general health benefits of Taijiquan and as a training tool for Taijiquan as a martial art.

    This 3-part workshop series is suitable for both Taijiquan beginners (no prior experience) and for experienced students interested in improving the quality of their movements in handforms and push hands. At the workshop, participants will 1) learn and grasp the Eight Energy drills discrete exercises and in a sequential flow, 2) explore and practice where and how each energy is expressed in the form sequences using select postures in Chen Family Taijiquan Laojia Yilu and Erlu, and 3) explore and practice how to apply the eight energies in pushhands through simple (and fun!) partner exercises.

    • Aug 5: The Soft energies: Peng, Lu, Ji, An (外柔: 掤捋挤按)
    • Aug 26: The Hard energies: Cai, Lie, Zhou, Kao (内刚: 采挒肘靠)
    • Sept. 16: Balancing the Hard and Soft energies: Soft and Hard energy flows (刚柔相济)

    • AM: drills and flow: led and self practice, mini lectures and Q&A and small group demos for feedback
    • PM: application in forms and pushhands: lead and self practice, guided partner exercises and practice
