Enhancing body, mind and spirit
with Tai Chi and Qigong
Shifu Amanda Heidke
WORKSHOP
Saturday July 13th
10am - 2.30pm
18 Fan in Yang Style
Created by Grand Master Jesse Tsao,
and taught by his official Specialist Instructor at the highest level Shifu Amanda Heidke.
The fan may conjure up images of romance and grace, but what many people are unaware of, is the history of the versatile fan as a lethal weapon.
The innocent looking fan can be hidden in a sleeve and carried close to conceal daggers or darts and opened to hide ones movements. "Fighting Fans" had ribs made of honed metal and carried folded.
The closed fan can be a baton to deflect, strike, stab, or bludgeon an opponent while the open fan can be used to shield, distract and cut.
Even when open the fan may still appear harmless but in the hands of an expert, the fan can become suddenly deadly.
All postures in this exciting form are practical, useful techniques for self-healing and self-defense, based on traditional Yang Style Tai Chi.
