The Short — Explosive — Tai Chi Chuan Fighting Form

Learn a short Taiji form. Small San Sau is a Quick-Fight Method from Old Taiji Masters. It shows exciting and intense fighting and healing applications of fundamental Taijiquan movements, derived from Yang Long Form, and inherent in all T’ai-chi.

We examine Ward-Off, Grasp Swallow’s Tail, Fishes in Eight, and Single Whip both at a gentle, easy stride (yin) and at a quick, cracking pace (yang).  Balance your body-mind-spirit through calm twisting, relaxed coiling, centered shaking, and bounce-stepping.
