The 24 Step Taijiquan is perhaps the most successfully promoted Forms in the world, practising by millions of people. It was simplified by Faye's great uncle, the late master Li Tian Ji in 1956.

Many people thought that the 24 Step Taijiquan is not for training Gongfu.
Wrong! Many people run though the 24 Step Taijiquan without understanding properly the intentions of each movements nor following the 10 essential principles set by Gandmaster Yang Cheng Fu properly. This seminar will focus on the quality of applying Yang Cheng Fu's 10 training principles in the 24 Step taijiquan.

Although the form is called 'simplified' but principles and essentials have not been compromised.

Cost: £40 per person including lunch.
