Workshop with Grandmaster William C.C. Chen.
Grandmaster Chen was the youngest and one of the most prolific of Professor Cheng Man-Ch'ing's students in Taiwan during the fifties and early sixties, where he distinguished himself in full contact fighting tournaments, developing an effective approach to teaching Tai Chi as a practical system of self-defense as well as a meditative exercise for health and longevity. Coming to America at Prof. Cheng's request, he started a school in NYC which remains one of the meccas of genuine Tai Chi in America.
Now in his 70s, Grandmaster Chen continues to travel the world, passing on his Tai Chi wisdom to subsequent generations of Tai Chi students.

T’ai Chi T’ui Shou workshop
With Mr. Herman Kauz
Catonsville, Md
Mr. Herman Kauz will offer two T’ai Chi T’ui Shou workshops at Elementary T’ai Chi Ch’uan in Catonsville, Maryland, this coming October 11-14. A similar, very productive, workshop sold out last year partly because Mr. Kauz insists on keeping the class size small.
Herman Kauz, a long time student of the martial arts and T’ai Chi Ch’uan, is deeply vested in sensing, following and softening. Each workshop session will focus solely on t'ui shou and getting into the "now" and will cover substantially the same material.
Class size will be limited to 15 participants. For further information, contact Jeff at Workshop@ElementaryTaiChi.com

Oct 25-26, 2008
Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang Workshop
Washington DC
Topic: Deepening your Taijiqun practice through Old Frame Canon Fist (Erlu Pao Chui)
The purpose of the two-day workshop is to instill the understanding of the gang (hard) and the rou (soft) of jin (internal strength) through the training in Old Frame Canon Fist Routine. We have spent years practicing the Taijiquan routine in slow motion to rid the movements of jiang (stiff or strained) jin, in the long and arduous process of rendering the jin soft (rou). In the Canon Fist or Paochui Routine, we train to develop the gang (power) of jin, so that the jin will be both gang (hard) and rou (soft), thus not deficient in either. The Workshop is important to both a novice and an advanced practitioner, as it will give you a practical insight of what is gang and rou of jin, and at the same time, a pragmatic test of how well you have been training through the expression of jin.
10/25 Sat.: 9:00 am -12:00
2:00 pm – 5:00 pm

Opportunity to study tai chi and qi gong in Carroll County, MD.
When Frances Lea Gander relocated from Sykesville, MD to Athens, OH in 2004, three of her senior tai chi students created a tai chi and qi gong study group to keep the practice going in Carroll Co. We take turns leading classes in Finksburg on Monday evenings. Usually all three of us are there so that, after the warm-ups, we break up into 2 or 3 smaller groups to work with students at different levels. New students are welcome at any time; we have flexibility because of multiple instructors.
We practice tai chi as transmitted to us by our teacher Frances Lea Gander, who learned from the late Grandmaster Chian Ho Yin of Taiwan and Milwaukee, WI. We usually begin with warms up, the Eight Pieces of Brocade (Qi Gong), Master Yin's Continuous Form, and Northern Yang (Old Style) Tai Chi C'huan.
Where: Cedarhurst Unitarian Universalist, Club House Rd., Finksburg, MD
When: Monday evenings from 6:45 pm to 8:30 pm (or a little later sometimes)
How much: $5 per class on a drop-in basis
($4 is a tax-deductible contribution to CUU; $1 is for a tai chi fund used to defray cost of holding occasional special classes with guest teachers, such as Frances Gander)
