The Chinese refer to the joints as gates, |

Each Tai Chi class at Red Sun begins with a 5-minute talk so the student gains mental and spiritual knowledge. .We then do Tai Chi drills in preparation of learning Cheng Man-Ch'ing's Yang-st yle 37-posture short form, teaching each new student a few more moves with each class. .After the form, we work on push hands. .And we end each class with dessert -- namely, the Tai Chi sword (teacher's favorite!). .Beginners learn simple sword strikes and blocks. .Intermediate students practice partner drills involving chi. .More advanced students learn the choreographed two-person sword fight scene. .Safety is a biggee with us, so no worries. |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Don't feel that you're too old or out of shape.
The moves are similar to swimming in air.
No brute force is used.

CLASS TIMES:
Class meets once a week, every Sunday evening.
It's a wonderful (and relaxing) way to end the week!TAI CHI CLASS: 7:30-8:30
COST:
The cost is $35/month
for Red Sun members and nonmembers.
New students must pay for two months in advance
plus a $25 initiation fee.
After that, it's just $35 per month.
We have no contracts.Students can opt to pay $10 per class
(AFTER paying a $35 month fee),
for up to 5 classes.
This is to help during vacation time,
sickness, or when company visits.
To discourage poor attendance
or disrupted training,
students can pay $10 per class
for only 5 times per year.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to my past
teachers
Blackwell, Frank Wong, and currently, Jim Cross
for showing me the way.
