Weekend Workshop with Bret Hall – Cheng Man-ch’ing Tai Chi


Event Details

This event finished on 30 April 2023


Member: Alan Skirving

Instructor: Bret Hall

Bret has been training in the Cheng Man-Ch’ing lineage of Tai Chi Chuan for over 30 years – his teachers were Carol Yamasaki in Detroit, Ben Lo (USA) and Liu Xiheng (Taiwan).
His practice focus is the 37 Form, Liu Xiheng’s Tai Chi exercises and pushing hands / partnerwork. Bret’s explores the deeper internal process of the body & mind – connecting to both the internal and external space (how the mind leads the chi) and developing a refined sense of listening and subtlety in partner practice.
“Training form and push hands with Bret is a fresh and unique experience – like traveling on the yin/yang symbol, where the practices and principles of each side are apparently different, but are inseparably conjoined. Front/back, external/internal, sinking down/floating upward, body/mind and energy, all merge and become the Whole. Bret’s rare push hands ability deeply informs his form teaching. He brings a unique perspective and new practices to a sound traditional foundation” – Cay, USA
